United jangan sampai kalah donk

Tottenham Sukses Ditaklukkan, Watford Kini Incar MU di Vicarage Road
Rifqi Ardita Widianto - detikSport

Jakarta - Watford menikmati start sempurna di empat pekan pertama Premier League. Tapi kini tantangan besar muncul, saat Manchester United datang berkunjung.

Watford jadi satu dari tiga tim Premier League yang belum terkalahkan di empat laga pertama musim ini. Tim besutan Javi Gracia ini hanya kalah selisih gol dari Liverpool dan Chelsea.

Berikutnya Troy Deeney dkk. ditunggu laga berat kontra MU di Vicarage Road, Sabtu (15/9/2018) malam WIB. Watford menantikan pertandingan berat, tapi juga menyimpan optimisme karena bermain di hadapan pendukung sendiri.

Sebab pada laga terakhir sebelum jeda internasional lalu, mereka sukses menumbangkan Tottenham Hotspur di tempat yang sama. Saat itu Watford sempat tertinggal lebih dulu karena gol bunuh diri Abdoulaye Doucoure, tapi membalas melalui Deeney dan Craig Cathcart.

Dari kubu MU sendiri secara laju sebenarnya belum meyakinkan di awal musim ini. MU malah sudah menelan dua kekalahan saat ditumbangkan Brighton and Hove Albion dan Tottenham, dengan dua laga lainnya dimenangi yakni kontra Leicester City dan Burnley.

"Kami tahu ini akan jadi laga yang sangat menuntut. Tapi bermain di Vicarage Road, kami merasa tangguh dan berpikir bahwa kami mampu menaklukkan semua tim lain, sementara di saat yang sama kami paham kalau tak mengerahkan 100% maka kami bisa kalah," ungkap Gracia dikutip Sky Sports.

"Kami siap untuk memainkan laga ini dengan dukungan suporter kami dan kami merasa nyaman di sini," imbuhnya.

Start sempurna sejauh ini membuat atmosfer di ruang ganti Watford kian nyaman. Sebaliknya, MU diselimuti aura negatif karena rumor-rumor perselisihan Jose Mourinho dengan CEO Ed Woodward dan juga dengan Paul Pogba. Selain itu ada pula sorotan soal cara memperlakukan Marcus Rashford.

Soal situasi di MU ini, Gracia menegaskan tak mau ikut campur.

"Saya tak tertarik dengan situasi klub lain," tandasnya.

YOUR ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO WATFORD V UNITED

Manchester United will be back in Premier League action on Saturday evening when travelling south to face an in-form Watford side.

The Reds head to Hertfordshire in search of a second successive away win, two weeks on from the encouraging 2-0 win at Burnley prior to the international break.

However, Jose Mourinho’s men are bound to face a stiff test against a Watford side who have won their first four league matches.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game at Vicarage Road…

WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?
The boss delivered some mixed news on the injury front when speaking to the media on Friday morning. Diogo Dalot and Marcos Rojo will play for the Under-23s against Reading on Friday night as the pair step up their recovery from injury, while Luke Shaw is available for the game after suffering concussion during England’s Nations League defeat by Spain last Saturday. Ander Herrera is doubtful with an ankle injury and there’s also a question mark over Marouane Fellaini, who picked up a minor back problem that ruled him out of Belgium’s two recent games. However, the Reds will definitely be without Marcus Rashford, who will begin a three-match suspension following his red card at Burnley

HOW ABOUT WATFORD?
The Hornets are only set to be without two injured players – former United midfielder Tom Cleverley and ex-Everton forward Gerard Deulofeu – with boss Javi Gracia confirming to the media on Thursday that “all the players are good” and “the rest are available”. In addition to Cleverley, Watford have two other former Reds in their ranks - goalkeeper Ben Foster and defender Craig Cathcart, who scored the winning goal in their impressive 2-1 victory over Tottenham last time out.

HOW HAVE WATFORD STARTED THE SEASON?
The Hornets go into Saturday’s game on the back of their best-ever start to a Premier League season. Heading into the weekend, they are one of only three teams – along with Liverpool and Chelsea – to have won their opening four league games of the campaign. Watford opened 2018/19 with a 2-0 win over Brighton at Vicarage Road before beating Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor and earning 2-1 wins at home to Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur. They also saw off Championship side Reading 2-0 to set up a Carabao Cup third-round tie against Spurs at Wembley later this month. Their perfect start to the campaign also led to manager Gracia being named the Premier League’s Manager of the Month for August.

WHAT’S OUR OVERALL RECORD AGAINST WATFORD LIKE?
Historically, the Reds have a formidable record against the Hornets over the years, registering 20 wins and five draws from the 30 previous encounters between the teams in all competitions. United also boast a strong record at Vicarage Road, winning nine and drawing two of our 15 previous visits to Watford’s home. Mourinho’s men completed a league double over the Hertfordshire outfit last term, winning 4-2 in a thrilling game at Vicarage Road last November before Rashford’s goal gave Michael Carrick a victory to savour at Old Trafford in his last game as a United player on the final day of the season. You can watch the goals from both meetings below.

WHO’S THE REFEREE?
Mike Dean will be the man in the middle on Saturday, taking charge of his third Premier League game of the season. The experienced official oversaw three United matches last term – our 4-0 home win over Crystal Palace and 1-0 victory away at Burnley in the league, as well as the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat at Bristol City. He will be assisted by Darren Cann and Dan Robathan, with Paul Tierney appointed as the fourth official.

via MEN rest ga ikut otw ke watford

Ini formasi terbaik yg bisa dipakai mou dengan skuad saat ini. Fella senang jadi gelandang bertahan, pogba senang bisa maju ke depan, sayap pun berkembang. Cuma ga ada lagi formasi cadangan kalau formasi ini udah dapat ditemukan penawarnya.

[fredrian.seven]

Mick Smalling lagi2 membuktikan dia yang terbaik diantara bek yg kualitasnya segitu2 aja. Paling berpengalaman diantara semua.

Untuk Fellaini ini bikin dilema. 2 gol United andil dari dia dan bahkan 1 assist langsung dari Fellaini. Tapi beberapa kali dia kerepotan dengan permainan cepat Watford plus keberadaannya bersama duo Matic dan Pogba serasa jadi pemborosan tinggi badan. Pertahanan emang butuh duel udara Fellaini untuk membantu Lindelof tapi nggak perlu sampe 3 orang gitu juga sih. Mungkin Matic bisa diganti Fred untuk lebih melancarkan alur serangan.

[fredrian.seven]

Kosong banget si Gray. Gelandangnya entah kemana. Bahaya!

[Zulfan]

Toh dengan formasi ini juga United ga keliatan superior amat di lapangan.

[fredrian.seven]

McTominay masih dimainkan saat masih ada Fred. Ini ibarat orang diterima kerja krn nepotisme. Main hanya karena badannya tinggi.
