Troy Deeney reveals Watford ignored Javi Gracia’s tactics against Tottenham
Watford captain Troy Deeney admits the players ignored their manager's tactics in the 2-1 comeback victory over Spurs.
The Hornets, who now have four wins from their opening four Premier League games, came from behind courtesy of two set-piece routines, with Deeney nodding in the first and Craig Cathcart heading the winner.
Yet, while Deeney confirms the team have been working hard on dead ball situations under Javi Gracia, he reveals that neither goal came from the manager's tactics.
In fact, the players deliberately ignored Gracia's set-piece instructions, according to the Hornets skipper.
He said: "The gaffer has got to take credit. He’s worked a lot on the set-pieces. Funnily enough, the two that he’s worked on we didn’t do.
"We just ignored him and went our own way and the ball fell for us. The players have got to take credit for that.
"If we would have missed he would have hammered us!"
