Talldarkandransome Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 As much as I don't like the saying, this is a must win game. I think I want Ings to start instead of Watkins. Anything other than a win will cause this place to implode. No predictions from me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m in Birmingham playing Watford, and it’s 2 degrees with horizontal driving rain. ****.’ More likely he will saying ‘Not long ago I was sitting on the bench of a basket case club with people saying I was an expensive flop, which led to me losing my place in the national team. Now I’m scoring goals in the best league in the world and the fans adore me. Oh and my World Cup dream is back on track’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because it's us but law of averages and all that. Pretty poor show though if we're not confident of scoring at least twice though. We scored 3 in our last home game and didn't even play that well for over an hour of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always score Chris, our inconsistency is the key, weird that we could smash these easy and we're still unsure really of how this will pan out. Our fanbase never give the opposition and credit though, apart from citeh plopp and chelsea, we're all as good as each other any given day, I'd probably add ManU to the other three too though as they always start with 12 men. Todays game will be a good tell for SG's quality, if we can see a difference in our performance and we put these away it bodes well, if we are weak and heads down I'm afraid we are in for much of the same as Deano, just up and down without reason, poor consistency etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted February 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2022 It's a given this will be the game were Woy's Watford break their duck, so we need 2 goals at least. Don't think want to see Watkins starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been much bigger, much more whiny meltdowns than this skepticism of Gerrard. And I say this as both a fan of Gerrard and the former head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not changing the midfield personnel does feel odd as Watford at home is the sort of fixture where you should be confident of experimenting a little.

Villa87 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 One change?! Surely a change in midfield was needed?! What must Sanson think?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Woke up with a feeling McGinn might get dropped for Sanson/Chukwumeka, but reading Gerrard's comments about one or two getting a second chance has made me re-think. Gerrard said there will be changes - I can't see Coutinho or Buendia being dropped, Digne is unlikely to come out as we have no obvious replacement and he's only 3 games in, Ramsey hasn't done a lot wrong so wouldn't deserve dropping, Martinez is undroppable, and I don't see Gerrard dropping Mings just yet. Chambers had only had 1 game, so I can only see Ings for Watkins, Luiz for Iroegbunam or Young for Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 one change so he's a liar then. final chance for some of the incompetents in the midfield. Anything less than a win here would be a disgrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than a win here would be a disgrace. Definitely a knee jerk reaction coming out and saying changes will be made. To not then back it up is poor management in my view. Hardly making an example to the players is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
