Moyes may face tricky Watford selection dilemma

Mikey Antonio looks to be a doubtful starter for the game against Watford on Tuesday evening unless the manager takes an untypical gamble.

The No 9 was returning to London  from a couple of  World Cup defeats with Jamaica and, beyond his jaded form before leaving, may be both weary and jet lagged.

Whether the boss decides that he can be included remains to be seen but it’s a 50/50 call based on what David Moyes had to sat before yesterday’s game.

Should he decide against including him we will no doubt again see Jarrod Bowen through the middle and whilst he plays that role well, we miss his presence down the wing very badly indeed.

Like Tomas Soucek in a purely defensive midfield role, the No 20 is not quite the player we have been used to seeing when called upon to play an alternative role.

Commenting on the Antonio situation Moyes declared ahead of the Kidderminster game per Hammers News: “We left London yesterday at two o’clock and Mic had not arrived back yet so that was why we did not have him today so that is not good.

It’s not good the situation it would have given me a chance to choose but we did not have Mic back. I have not even seen him since he got back.”
