Watford manager Javi Gracia is not happy with former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton.

The pundit made comments about the club related to their FA Cup win against Newcastle United.

The BT Sport pundit Sutton was unhappy the Hornets changed all 11 players for the cup game, saying that he hoped they would lose.

And Gracia was not amused. He said in his press conference: "I respect all the opinions from the different former players and former coaches and journalists. I accept all the opinions of these people around football because I think they know about what they are speaking but in this case I have a different opinion.

"I can accept criticism because it was my decision, but I don't like when different opinions are disrespectful to my players.

"There are many players in Watford working very very well. When they play they get a good result and I think they deserve recognition.

"When you lose you have to accept and to be quiet, in this case I think the players deserve good recognition."
