EdenHOST
Like the, the, the, um, if we just talk about the first half, I thought the shape was good, I thought the discipline was good.
EdenHOST
Um, I thought Tank and Grimes were working really hard to cover spaces.
EdenHOST
Couple of times they kind of moved, moved them out of, out of position, didn't they, and got little balls in.
EdenHOST
But you'd expect that with the quality that Man City have.
EdenHOST
The press was really good.
EdenHOST
That was-- You know, he did a few things on the ball, set pieces, interesting.
EdenHOST
Upgrade on Grimes, I think, from the set pieces.
EdenHOST
I thought his deliveries were good.
DanGUEST
We were compact.
DanGUEST
And weirdly, that 5-3-2 almost allowed Matt Grimes to play higher.
DanGUEST
We didn't want to play out.
DanGUEST
So Matt Grimes wasn't sitting in between a back three.
DanGUEST
And I like that.
DanGUEST
I like having Matt Grimes a bit higher up the field.
DanGUEST
And he can affect the game in areas.
DanGUEST
We can all drop in 20 yards of space and play a pass.
Aaron CartwrightHOST
do what they've always done.
Tom HattonHOST
We've got Matt Grimes.
Tom HattonHOST
He's shit-hot in the Championship.
Tom HattonHOST
Well, you know what? Matt Grimes is a bin man in the Premier League.
Tom HattonHOST
And he moves like he's got Toblerones in his boots.
Tom HattonHOST
And he's just a lovely footballer.
ClaudioHOST
There you go.
ClaudioHOST
Matt Grimes, that's the ground he covered yesterday compared to Onyeka.
ClaudioHOST
And you can see he's picking the ball up everywhere.
ClaudioHOST
I mean, it may not look like to some he's not doing anything, but he's certainly covered a lot of ground.
PeterHOST
oh oh certainly i mean i think it indicates 5.3 million euro whether or not that's accurate we don't know but it's certainly more substantial than anything Watford have done in a little while unless we count our goalkeeper and we've got no idea what's happening with that some people say 8 million some people say 800 000 some people say ah buyout was probably involved somewhere in that so Probably the top end of that is agent's fees.
PeterHOST
Who knows? You mentioned departures there and a name immediately, one that we've discussed because a little bit like Matt Grimes when he was at Swansea.
PeterHOST
We've liked Ben Whiteman a lot over the last few years.
PeterHOST
And on occasions, we've come to you and he's been good.
DeanHOST
The worst.
DeanHOST
At the end, we jumped into Grimes.
Ross SpenceHOST
And there was another one.
Ross SpenceHOST
The worst one was when Milan, and I knew he was going to give a foul.
28 MINS LATER
Ross SpenceHOST
But it's like, I get that.
Ross SpenceHOST
But if he plays that next week and we lose 3-1 at home or something like that, everyone's going to be like, well, why have we gone to a five-backer? He's just going to look at the personnel and the players that we've got and he's going to look at it and he's going to think, well...
Ross SpenceHOST
Grimes will suit a game like that because ultimately their double pivot that they play is not the most physical in terms of legs.
Ross SpenceHOST
You know, Gross and Ayari are not big, strong players in the middle of the pitch.
Simon LilliburyHOST
I just think overall it was a wonderful performance.
Simon LilliburyHOST
We had a bit of a conversation about Matt Grimes that people enjoyed, disagreed with, whatever, last week.
Simon LilliburyHOST
What do we think of Grimes today? I was saying that Grimes shouldn't start in this match because I didn't think we'd have much of the ball.
Simon LilliburyHOST
We didn't have much of the ball.
speaker_3PANELIST
know you fucking
Lewis BowdenHOST
say that, Matt, my club.
Lewis BowdenHOST
You ain't going to do nothing, Bear Grylls.
Lewis BowdenHOST
I fucking am.
Lewis BowdenHOST
You can't lose to Hull at home, unfortunately, if you want to survive.
Lewis BowdenHOST
And also, they haven't really got any good players.
Lewis BowdenHOST
Who actually have they got? Who's good? Matt Grimes is pretty good.
Lewis BowdenHOST
Is he not? He's a bit naff.
SimonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hopefully he'll come in and maybe we'll switch to a back five, which Lampard did at Everton to keep them in the Premier League.
SimonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
i'd like to see a change like that it will be interesting in midfield whether we stick with captain matty grimes who isn't as physical um as a couple of the other midfielders but he's obviously a very influential player in the squad be interesting to see if we stick with him from the start or it will be yarenchi and onyeka potentially in the middle there we've got gus aimer as well good option uh jaredoni's talented as well but yeah In terms of approach to this game, I think it will be a defensive first approach and a case of trying to give ourselves a real chance to maybe nick a point or even put in a respectable performance.
SimonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If we are to spring a surprise on Saturday, we'll be very shocked and very happy indeed.
SimonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But you never know.
MilesHOST
Radoni plays, yeah.
MilesHOST
And then you play, I wouldn't play Grimes.
MilesHOST
I'd play, what's his name? Urenchi.
MilesHOST
Urenchi.
MilesHOST
I'd play Urenchi as well.
MilesHOST
That's who I would put in the midfield this weekend.
MilesHOST
I just feel that Grimes, I think you drop Grimes this weekend.
MilesHOST
I think you drop him.
