With ten-man Watford and Arsenal struggling to impose it as it should, it was inevitable that Unai Emery change at half-time during last night's 1-0 win at Vicarage Road .
The replacement of Lucas Torreira was probably not what we expected, but the Uruguayan gave way to Mesut Ozil at the break.
Then the Arsenal boss explained his thoughts, suggesting that the crowd's disapproval of the Arsenal midfielder played a role, as well as a minor injury.
"I first decided to change Lucas Torreira because after the red card, the mood is against him," said Emery.
"The doctor also told me in the first period that he was suffering a bit for Thursday and I decided to agree, that 's the time.
"I think it's small and that it can be ready for Thursday physically."
Troy Deeney has received some words from Emerson. He was expelled in the 11th minute to pbad his forearm in the face of Torreira.
"I do not know," he said to the question as to what Deeney had shouted.
"It's not important, I did not really listen to him, I did not really listen to him and I just told him to say I did not know it."
Rumors that Emery would have said:"Donde están tus cojones ahora?" Could not be verified.
