If Claudio Ranieri didn’t have a grasp on just how much work he had to do at Watford, within an hour of their match against Liverpool, his brief will have become crystal clear.

With the lowest recorded possession in a Premier League game being the 17 percent that Swansea managed against Man City in 2018, per Alexander, unless there is a significant improvement, then the Hornets will make history.

Watford owner, Gino Pozzo, is known to dispense with managers at the drop of a hat, and, it seems, often without much thought having gone into the repercussions.
