Tottenham Hotspur would have hoped for a nice trip to Watford on a cosy Sunday evening. It was just an hour trip down the train. Some loyal fans made the trip to Vicarage Road. Others sat with their popcorns, glued to their TV screens. This team had a nice trip to Manchester and destroyed the famed Manchester United team. The fans would have hoped for more of the same against a Watford team, who was not as good as them.
Coming in during the winter season, Javi Garcia, made some useful signings. Gerard Deulofeu was roped in and Garcia tried to implement things quickly at the club. Javi Garcia couldn’t make much of a difference in his first season. Watford managed to escape from relegation again and finished 14th. He didn’t seem to get the hang of things at England. His performances with Watford were a shadow of what he achieved with Malaga at Spain.
After his win against Tottenham, no media will call their success, one based on luck or owing to small teams. Each team has an equal shot at the title something that Leicester proved 2 years back, and Watford is proving it now.
They haven’t held much possession in any of their games. Garcia has been smart enough to know his weaknesses. He hasn’t tried to turn this team into Manchester City all of a sudden. Pretty football is not required for Watford at this moment as all their fans need is the right results. Fans want Vicarage Road lit up like the good days in 1980s.
Watford has also not been afraid to play long balls. Whenever they see a chance to open a break, they launch long. They are making efforts to win the game, rather than hold back the line and salvage a draw. Javi Garcia needs to be lauded for the early success of this Watford team.
