Watford VS Tottenham Saturday Jan 1st 2022 @3PM

[Dixiefish61]

Substitutions: Pierluigi Gollini, Japhet Tanganga, Matt Doherty, Joe Rodon, Harry Winks, Dele, Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele and Bryan Gil.

Lo Celso fit enough to make the bench - that means another Argentina match within about a month

Chile 28th Jan. WCC

Dropped to the bench means you wasn’t dropped to the bench despite starting the last two games

No, and I've explained above why not. The game has changed since what 'dropped' meant 20+ years ago. Starting 2 consecutive games during a particularly busy period doesn't necessarily make you part of the manager's first choice 11, and returning to the subs bench after those 2 games doesn't mean you've been 'dropped' - well not to most fans anyway - obviously you yourself can take it to mean anything you like, as long as you recognise that your understanding is different to that of 95% of other fans. That's all I'm pointing out.

Two changes from match v Southampton, with Skipp & Lucas back in for Winks & Dele

Glad to see Conte doing some rotation

Winks was dropped after a great game according to the experts like Guido 🇺🇦 and SpiderSpurs on here - fact

Looks like the rebirth of Pirlo has to wait a little longer

Dropped to the bench is dropped

Dropped from the starting line up is dropped

Sugar coat it all you want, many said he deserves a start. The manager disagrees.

Eat it

Rotated.

Eat it

P.S Bin vote cast. I wish you would grow up. I won’t hold my breath.

Never reply to me again. Only my mates can reply to me.

Don’t waste your time. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

Hello I dropped a bottle of Milk

Did you drop it on the floor, or drop it on a rug?

A rug

Then you didn’t drop it

As I say, you can interpret it to mean anything you want - it means your understanding of the term 'dropped' will be different to 95% of other fans, but that's entirely up to you.

That's all semantics anyway - whatever wording you use, Winks came in to do a job while others were having a rest, or even when Conte wanted something specific for a certain game, now those others are back. No big story or drama, just normal use of a squad of players. It's really not rocket science, amazing that several on here seem to be struggling so hard to understand it.

Don’t waste your time. You can lead a horse to water etc

……but you can’t teach it to remember the rest of the saying…

 

[thinktank]

This to go 2 points behind scumbags, with two games then in hand.

Wanna see pure desire.

 

[Gmspurs]

After today's result..... This is must win.....

Going way over the top aren’t you

Learn footballing terminology
It’s not academic debate

As opposed to the world class midfield that Watford possess....

Is Sissoko playing?
