Watford boss Javi Gracia: We must be sharper in front of goal

Watford boss Javi Gracia wants his players to be sharper in front of goal.

The Hornets have caught the eye with a number of goal of the month contenders as the likes of Gerard Deulofeu and Roberto Pereyra have stolen the show with individual moments of brilliance.

But Gracia argues: "I try to take advantage of the chances we are creating,' he said.

"If we score these kinds of goals I am happy because all of them are amazing goals but we need to take other kinds of chances as well.

"We need it, we spoke about it last week - we have been the team to miss the most big chances this season.

"I think we need to be more demanding to be more clinical in those situations. We try to create the situations where the players can finish because they have the quality to do it.

"Then there are other moments in play where they have to finish and in those situations we can improve because we have the quality and I'm sure in the next games we will do it better.

"All of them are demanding with themselves and only in this way can we compete the way we are doing."
