Like starting with ten men.If Eriksen starts we are doomed to be overrun in midfield.
Tough game, one that i can definitely see us losing but also one that will be a massive boost if we win. Weird saying that considering where Watford were a few years back!
Until we get a decent central midfield back unfortunately we're the ones with the potential to be bullied in such matches, unlike where Dembele was there.

I think we'll lose.
Problem with Capoue and a few of the players who came with the Bale money like Chiriches. They thought they were joining a club that they could use as a stepping stone to a Chelsea or United. Look at them now.I agree, if ever there was a game where midfield will decide the victor it’s this one. Chalobah, Capoue and Doucoure (was the midfield that started against Bournemouth) against whoever we have in there. Imagine if Mourinho picks winks and Eriksen, we will get steamrollered. I would take Capoue (I never thought he was too bad) and definitely doucoure in our midfield.
I've long hoped we might have gone for doucoure, a proven premier league quality midfielder, but we never seemed to get seriousky linked and it wont happen now.Watford have a midfield pairing, along with many other Prem clubs to be fair, that would stroll in to our first XI today given our injuries and players not quite ready etc
Please don't tell me that you used the word 'bender', as in, the age old term for a piss up but felt the need to delete it in case it offended someone?I deleted my post. Thought it might come across as a homophobic slur.
Very few people nowadays would dare to call that what it is, which is a rather niggardly response to his point .Please don't tell me that you used the word 'bender', as in, the age old term for a piss up but felt the need to delete it in case it offended someone?
Edit. I hope you're not gonna smoke any fags either!
That is very sobering.
I feel like we are vulnerable at the back and we aren't really scoring many goals. That's not a great combination. A really tough game.
