There were two key words that watfordfc head coach Valerien Ismael took away from today’s 0-0 draw with Plymouth
There were two key words that Valerien Ismael took away from the 0-0 draw with Plymouth: ruthlessness and mistakes.Yet visiting keeper Conor Hazard was not overworked as only three of those 20 efforts were on target while, at the other end of the pitch, the visitors gained heart as errors crept into the passing out from the back that caused moments of true panic.
“When you miss the opportunities like that today then you keep the opponent in the game. Everyone knows that anything can happen when you don’t score and you’re on top. “Why did we make mistakes? I think it is more fatigue. The third game in the first week after seven weeks of pre-season was very intense.
Ismael said that preparations in the week, and the work his coaching staff and analysts do, means the Hornets are going into games fully drilled, which is breeding confidence among the squad.“My staff have worked perfectly so far to help us to analyse our opponents and what can be very good for our game.“I’ve said to the players to just stay focussed on their attitude. For sure we want to win, and I play games to win, but I know that sometimes football is not always right.
