With his team able to play with relative freedom, the Blues boss is certain that the onus will be on the Cleverley’s men. “They’ve been really good at home,” he said. “We obviously have a gameplan in terms of how we’re going to approach the game.” Tom Cleverley’s team will aim to extend an undefeated home record this term, which has seen them win eight and draw two of their outings at Vicarage Road.
We clearly have a gameplan for how we’re going to approach the game, but the most important thing is that we go there with that freedom in possession because the pressure is very much off us and there’s a good amount of expectation for Watford to go and win the game and dominate at home. This allows us to go there with a little bit of freedom and enjoy ourselves.
‘On the defensive side of it we’ll obviously have a plan in terms of how we’re going to press and close them down. We’ll maybe have to not be quite as aggressive as we have been at home, so we may have to sit off and concede more possession than we’d like to.
‘It’s about stringing that together and making sure we make a fist of it. It’s a really exciting game and local-ish compared to some of the distances the fans have been travelling recently. Hopefully we can go and enjoy ourselves.
“The guys have improved their performances, and I see a hungry, cohesive group.” Although they are willing to collaborate, this group’s willingness to put in a lot of effort is its most notable quality.
Every week when we compete, we can see that our running metrics are really high in both total and sprinting distances.
Sometimes the only way to win games is to run. Running isn’t sexy or flashy, but it gives you an opportunity. Anyone who watches football anywhere knows that most teams around the nation have this trait. That work ethic, the strategy the guys have implemented, and perhaps a little bit of good fortune here and there all contribute.
