Did Watson play in defence or midfield? We’re a bit short of defenders at the moment.
Anyway, Watson has had the benefit of today’s game. Golobart came on as sub, and Alcaraz and Caldwell may also be fit this week. We may, unfortunately, have to replace Beausejour – Espinoza may be the best candidate.
I’m puzzled by Martinez’ selection of McArthur. He was rested/dropped for the Everton game, and has only started one game since – against Spurs last week. However, he has come on as substitute in every other game, usually in difficult circumstances, as he did today.
We need to win on Tuesday, so we’ll have to play our strongest available team, and I’m sure Martinez would like to Alcaraz play for some of the game. And then, I presume, we’ll do the same on Saturday.
