I've been following Watford all season and was thrilled when they were promoted to the Premiership over Leeds (...SCUM!). They play some excellent football and thoroughly deserved their promotion, the main reason I followed them was to watch the progress and development of Ben Foster and Chris Eagles.
We all know about Ben Foster, and in my opinion he is the future England number 1. And, I think Fergie should bring him back to United for next season and give him some opportunities to impress, although if Fergie leaves him at Watford or sends him elsewhere who am I to argue?
Chris Eagles has also impressed me thoroughly and not just because of the goal in the above clip but because his general play has really improved and hopefully he will shine through if given the opportunity at United. He has the ability to split the defence with a single pass, can pass the ball long and short range, has got a good shot on him (in the clip) and also tracks back to help out the defence as well as surging down the wings. He is still young and can still improve, hopefully he will be given the opportunity at United over the next year or two, or even left at Watford to see if he can cut it consistently in the Premiership.
What do you think about Chris Eagles?
And, on that strike. It's phenomenal, especially with his ability to get it at the right height, angle and pace to get it through the defenders who were rushing back and the goalkeeper. Quality strike, on the first-touch too.
