Team for Watford?

I don't disagree with that, but I think there are very much 2 tiers to the Premier League: 1) Teams that we shouldn't really take points off as a general rule, but will hope to on some occasions and 2) Teams that are closer to our level and we need to be able to compete with to stay up. I'd have Leicester and Man City down as #1's, whereas I'd place Watford under #2.

Well that's not a very 'bold' line up. In fact,it's exactly the same team that got nowhere fast against Leicester. I really don't think we can just do the same and hope for the best. Any wingers need to play further forward for a start.

I think we have to hope Propper and Gross get better with every game. March was our standout against ManCity, Murphy got motm for a lot of the media against Leicester. I'd stick with them, then change it from the bench. Yes, we need to attack and score, but equally we have to be solid. Don't think Knocky is ready yet, I'd think of him as impact from the bench, then hopefully ready for a start v West Brom.

I don't think Gross and Propper will improve enough with the current personnel and tactics. Playing Gross as a number 10 with his attributes just invites pressure. March stood out for taking on two players in the right back position which is the problem with this formation and why he and the other winger HAVE to play further forward. I actually don't think AK is really an impact player coming off the bench and has come on both games and done little. I think he needs to start to help him find his rhythm, give the team some impetus and his teammates a lift. I would be incredibly disappointed if CH started with Murphy when we have AK and Izquierdo available.

What are your changes from my team then, just AK for Murphy?

Mike Small said:

Rosenior for Suttner. Sidwell for Gross so we have three central midfielders of Stephens, Sidwell and Propper who can protect and break forward. Gross could play instead of Propper. The key is getting our wingers to be close to Murray. Not too dissimilar to yours just Sidwell, AK and Rosenior in.
