Southampton manager Ronald Koeman slams Man United target Mane interest
Watford are a newly-promoted team and are expected by many to struggle for survival in the Premier League this season, but they managed to pick up a point against Southampton. Watch the game on live streaming with Sky Sports on Sunday at 4.00pm.
Koeman confirmed on Friday that the player “is not for sale”, a stance the Dutchman repeated after watching his side draw at Vicarage Road.
The draw keeps Watford unbeaten upon their return to the Premier League, with three draws to their name since promotion from the Championship.
Southampton will travel to Denmark for the second leg of their Europa League play-off game against FC Midtjylland knowing they need to inject some zest if they are to progress in the competition.
Predicted Everton lineup vs. Man City: Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Galloway, McCarthy, Barry, Kone, Barkley, Cleverley, Lukaku. Looks like Mane took a blow to the head in that collision with Behrami and Nyom… and his game is over.
Watford boss Quique Flores said it was impossible to achieve a win against Southampton at Vicarage Road on Sunday after a 0-0 stalemate.
“We are keeping clean sheets but it’s important for the confidence of the players”.
And Watford did not have a shot on target despite Ikechi Anya delivering unsafe crosses and Etienne Capoue missing from two yards out.
“I hope that we will have everybody available for Thursday, Sadio as well”.
“I don’t think Watford created a lot”.
With a bit of luck, the Hornets may have been coming into this game with maximum points, having come within minutes of winning away to Everton and then having the better of West Bromwich Albion for long periods without making a breakthrough.
“The initial incident I didn’t see exactly but he was not good enough to continue”. “He could be at Watford or another team”.
Former Hammer Diamanti added urgency on his second Premier League debut but Matej Vydra, who scored 16 goals last season, and new £4.6m Dutch forward Steven Berghuis were not even in the 18-man squad.
