Not many years ago in season 2014/2015 Nigel Pearson was manager of Leicester City which was at the bottom of the table at Christmas. Everyone saw them in Championship next season, but then suddenly they started to win everyone everywhere and stayed in Premier League. This long winning row is hard to forget. I would go so far to say that this manager set up team which won league title next year under Claudio Ranieri. It looked like Italian just came in to pick up cream after him.
This season Watford was at bottom of the table, changed 2 managers and recently appointed this man Nigel Pearson as their new coach. His records with this club are quite impressive. Draw 0:0 against Crystal Palace, losing against Liverpool with only 2:0 conceding second goal near the end of the game, wining 2:0 against Manchester United, 1:1 away against Sheffield United, easy 3:0 win against Aston Villa and today 2:1 win against Wolverhampton. All of those clubs except Aston VIlla are in top part of league table. Some players like Deulofeu and A. Doucouré play like born again under new manager.
Today win against Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton which are very very good team is final proof that Nigel Person is keen to do with Watford what he did with Leicester few years ago. When you look outside you see well motivated players ready to do everything to win every game they are involved in. High standards he established in that club, which has crypto betting house sportsbet.io on shirts are easy noticeable.
He looks very strict and authoritative near out line and there is no player who wants to see him angry in dressing room because he didn't give everything during the game or failed to obey his tactical plans. That brings us to David Backham's statement about Roy Kane which was "He has everything what man need to become good manager. He can scare players to death in dressing room." I think same apply for Nigel Pearson with difference that he is better manager than Manchester United legend.
I think club which win Manchester United and Wolverhampton can not get relegated. Those clubs who are above relegation zone now should be in great fear from awaken Watford. One of them will switch place with Hornets until the end of season.
What do you think can Nigel Pearson save Watford ? Can he repeat what he has done with Leicester in 2014/15 ? I say decisive yes to first question. We are watching repeat of "The Great Escape"!
