4-4-2 is never going to happen under Pep . Yaya will be on his way in January , Ottamendi and Clichy are utter garbage !

I'd much prefer him to play that formation and that team looks good for Watford. I would probably swap KDB and Silva round. I'd also consider playing Tosser instead of Stones who seems to have no sense of responsibility.

If we're having a 4-4-2 with a twist I'd go:
Willy
Sagna Otter Tosser Clichy
Yaya Fern 2
KDB Silva Nolito
Nacho
The lads are familiar with this system

No need for a bench mate. If Kolarov gets injured we'll just play with 10 Kolarov's.

Bravo
Sagna Otter Stones Kolarov
Fern 2
Sterling KDB Silva Nolito
Nacho

That doesn't look great but it's actually the team that beat the Rags at the swamp with Fern 2 in for Fern 1 due to suspension. Maybe we should try this against Watford. No Gundo or Sane

I'd be more inclined to play something like that with those guys available. Silva and KDB central, Fern 2 playing to his strengths (defensive reading of the game and able to challenge in the air), Nolito with his infectious enthusiasm. We'd have some counter attacking threat too.

That's a good stab at this question NB.

Looks decently balanced although I'd prefer Angelino rather than Kolarov.

I did ponder that but I think three novice defenders with Stones as the senior guy is asking for trouble. If we went with Sagna as RB then yes, Angelino in for Kolarov
