Deeney’s Watford dream of halting Manchester City’s ‘Grand Slam’
LONDON, April 8 — Watford achieved mission improbable yesterday to win an FA Cup semi-final that had looked lost but their next Wembley task looks more like mission impossible when they have to halt an apparently unstoppable Manchester City in the final.
After his major part in Watford’s unlikely comeback from 2-0 down with 11 minutes left which saw them prevail after extra time, Deeney sounded like a man who now feels anything is possible with his “special” team. “This team has got something special. We’re not the most talented but the hard work, the desire, you see it there.
Yet City, who won Saturday’s much less exhilarating semi-final 1-0 in a fairly routine fashion against Brighton & Hove Albion, have perhaps looked a fraction off the boil in recent outings.
