Ric Flair Posted 3 November 2015 Share Posted 3 November 2015 Ben Watson is a very decent player, he's every bit as good as Danny Drinkwater or was anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzell Posted 3 November 2015 Share Posted 3 November 2015 What area of his game don't you like then? Why don't you rate him? Always good to question people who don't have a clue. You have probably never even seen him play. But because he plays for Watford and isn't a fashionable name you don't rate him Just don't like him pal. Sorry if I've upset you like. I mean if it means this much to you I will change my mind just to make you feel that little bit better if you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl the Llama Posted 3 November 2015 Share Posted 3 November 2015 Can't understand the Watson rimming - Capoue's easily been the standout midfielder at Watford this year, Watson just seems to fill the space not occupied by Capoue and hope he does something useful.

Popular Post Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 November 2015 Popular Post Share Posted 3 November 2015 Articles like that are funny but everything in the media is still either about him being hard-working and quick or a bit of a joke figure - there's still nothing that reflects what has actually happened. The truth is that he has improved aspects of his game that nobody mentions - his hold-up play now is excellent, his first touch is much improved, he makes great decisions, he's great in the air and his movement is better. In short, he has become something of a complete striker. You can't be a one-trick pony when you're basically up front on your own, largely being supported either by a second striker who most of our fans are not sure about or a lightweight winger. You certainly can't do that with your team third in the Prem while you're scoring 11 goals in 11 games. Vardy has been second striker for a lot of his time here - first to Nugent and then to Ulloa. His best spells have coincided with him being given the central striker role - the end of the title-winning season and this season so far. That's when he's thrived by taking responsibility and feeling like the main man. I think it does him a disservice to suggest he's just a hard-working, quick striker in the middle of a lucky streak, and especially - as that article does - to suggest his success is down to knowing his limitations (and phrase it like it's some great revelation). That's the complete opposite of what he's about - if he went by limitations he'd still be playing for Stocksbridge. In fact, he's continuously worked hard on his deficiencies to the point where he hardly has any these days. There was a point in the Norwich game where he dropped off the front and held onto the ball and looked really composed and it struck me how different that was to what we've seen before. Then think about his goal on Saturday - he could have done the same thing but he sensed the opportunity, played a great first-time ball and went for the return. What about the way he won that penalty at Bournemouth - there were three defenders chasing him. That wasn't just pure pace - that was clever play to get into that situation. Whisper it but he's actually a very intelligent footballer. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 3 November 2015 Share Posted 3 November 2015 He knows his limitations, but he also knows his strengths, he knows how to play to them, more importantly so do his team mates. His goal on Saturday just summed him up, Kante's first instinct was to look for Vardy, Vardy knowing that made sure he was ready to receive. Drinkwater knows Vardy isn't going to try and turn the defender and try an outrageous bit of skill to get in behind the defence, he knows he is going to look for the lay off and then run in behind. Drinky and Vardy both know he is going to win a foot race with West Brom defence, so they just create the space and stick the ball in for Vardy to run onto. It was still a great run and finish, but the build up was so simple, effective one touch football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 3 November 2015 Share Posted 3 November 2015 Vardy ...how strange how pundits, so called football journalist, cant see or dont mention his greatest skills, in which he has showed in many of his goals. # Taking a ball at pace # Running at speed and controlling the ball at his feet, over long distances, having no doubt what he will do with it. # His twist and turning, with immediate pace, many fall flat on their faces, but Vardy carries on with point 1. # At pace taking on the shot, and when necessary taking a side step, to clear bearing down defender. # He reaches most of the through balls, even when they have been too strong. # his side flick tekky on Saturday, is not a one off. W.Wide I have hardly seen elsewhere this skill from his pace so consistently. Let others make him out to be other peoples fools and jester, this guy ..Jamie Vardy... is damn skillfull. And no arrogant self-centered, self important upstart, but neither was our Gary.Feet on the ground type of guy, who can burn leather . I hear luney-toons want to sign him up, to take over the 'Roadrunner' roll..beep, beep!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
