I wouldn't start Mooy just yet, I'd like to see what Stephens and Propper could do with real pace in front of them.
Two changes: Mooy for Kayal, Maupay for Jahanbakhsh.
Not the best team, just the one vs Watford

Are you saving the best team for the EFL Cup then?
Still leaves a 1% chance for Ali J then

Watford team have neither Deulofeu nor Pereyra fully match fit with neither likely to play 90 mins. Good news considering what the latter did to us last year and what the former is capable of (eh...Wolves?). New sicknote signing Danny Wellbeck unlikely to be fit before the clocks change.
They have signed Craig Dawson from West Brom who will form a solid CB pairing with Cathcart. Doucoure is very good in CM and Watford resisted their old manager's attempts to lure him to Everton. He missed the game at the Amex last season and we battered them 0-0, thanks to their other star...Ben Foster.
Will Hughes always plays well against us.
Hornets fans appear a bit..meh about the new season, some still with a hangover from the Cup Final. They fear they have an ageing team and are in that mid-table PL space of complacency and adjusted expectations of a team who are, relative to their size and history, seriously overperforming. The only way is down. I'll travel more in hope than expectation. 2-1 Watford sounds about right but will be yelling hard for summat' better.

Maguire went. I assume Dunk shuffled out yesterday with nobody noticing. The club buried bad news by announcing the Amex deal
Or perhaps Mooy was doing a Duffy

Massively confused by people suggesting Andone starts..... I like Andone but I don’t see what he has done in pre-season to justify starting ahead of Murray who has settled into the new system with Locadia and Trossard quite effectively.

Thinking - too early to chuck Maupay, Mooy and Webster in.......and not sure about Bernardo as didn't figure in pre-season much ?

That would be my starting line up too. No place for Groß?

Yep I’m a clown .... I genuinely was 50/50 between him and Locadia to start .. and then I left him off the bench. He takes AJ’s place on bench

I'll wait for the injuries to kick in, will get easier to pick a side then

For me it’s more hope that Andone starts. He didn’t get a fair crack last season and I was really hoping he would this season as I really rate him.
I agree with you that is the side that is likely to start tomorrow based on pre season.

Has to start with Webster. Burn has done well but he is not a 20 million pound player.
Can also see Gross in place of Locadia
Andone and Maupay are in direct competition for the main striker position I reckon. Murray will probably get a few games before one of them is given a start and becomes first choice - likely to be Maupay IMO.

strong and stable with me, or...

I know it will upset people, but I think we'll set up to be very solid and getting back behind Watford tomorrow. I don't think Potter-ball will materialise just yet. Experiments during pre-season yes, but this is points on the line. I think we might be more adventurous, but expecting a lot of defending and a lot of time without the ball.
