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.

Our best team is:

Kolarov
Kolarov Kolarov Kolarov Kolarov
Kolarov Kolarov Kolarov Kolarov
Kolarov Kolarov

In my opinion.

Surely having Ian and Nacho means just one up front?

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.

Let's start with a few clean sheets first.

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

That might just be our best set up at moment mate.

Caballero
Maffeo, Tosin, Stones, Kolarov
Sterling, Gundogan, KDB, Nolito
Iheanacho, Silva

Willy

Sagna - Kompany (fit he is better than Stones and Otamendi combined) Stones - Clichy

Yaya - Fern

Dave - Tin Tin - Raheem

Aguero

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

kolarov would score a free kick, so 11-26.
