Match Thread Watford v Everton 10/12/16 KO 12:30

Last week, how many Watford players would walk into our team?
Many would say none.
Yet they were the much superior team throughout.
So is the answer 11?

Exactly...and I wonder if it's because we are a comfortable Club with comfortable players on very good wages and without real pressure, whereas Watford have this policy of bringing in players from anywhere on the planet irrespective of if anyone has ever heard of them. They use the loan system and offer short contracts. They bring in a manager and fire him if they're not happy with his performance. Both players and manager operate in an environment where if they don't perform they get shipped out. Conversely our lot have long, protected contracts and little pressure on their starting place.
