There’s been little complaint from Walter Mazzarri in what has been a hard opening fixture list which sees Watford play their fifth straight game against a top-half finisher from last term.

Watford manager Walter Mazzarri calls for his players to prioritise continuity ahead of their Premier League clash with Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.
“(Wayne) Rooney, (Marouane) Fellaini; the whole squad, all of the players.
Luke Shaw knows Manchester United need to be at it from the outset if they are to avoid their run of back-to-back defeats getting any worse at Watford. Sometimes the press look at what happens in Italy; the same with (Chelsea’s Antonio) Conte and Mourinho.
“Some of the players were playing their first minutes of the season, not many minutes for them”, Mourinho added.
Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Prodl also face late fitness tests, and Mazzarri said: “I don’t think (United’s confidence will be low)”.
The United boss also urged Pogba to forget about his price-tag and focus on his football.
67 min “I do have to agree with Glenn Hoddle’s point from the first half”, says Matt Loten. He did inherit (and also buy) better players but you’re right, the balance was ideal.
It is a remarkable, record-breaking fee that sees Pogba stand alone as the world’s most expensive player ever – a price tag that appeared to weigh heavily in United’s disappointing back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Feyenoord.
“I just want Paul to forget that and to play his football”.

“The motivation belongs to themselves so I believe in that, I believe that on Sunday they will try to win the match, try to give absolutely everything and it will be just by them to try to help”.
