Walter Mazzarri wants his Watford players to take out their anger from a humiliating defeat at Liverpool last time out when Leicester visit Vicarage Road tomorrow.

The Hornets boss revealed even two weeks on, he was still irritated by the manner of his side’s loss at Anfield, in their joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League.

The international break could not have come at a worse time for his players to get the result out of their system, having to wait a fortnight before taking on Claudio Ranieri’s side, and Mazzarri said he would hope to see them use their anger when they take to the field tomorrow.

He said: “I hope if the team is angry, as I am, we will have a good game in terms of the way they play.

“At the end of the day, a game can be decided in individual moments, but if they are as angry as me it will be a great performance.

“The loss against Liverpool came just before the break and the only time I managed to see the whole squad has been since Wednesday. I can guarantee the game against Leicester will be completely different.

“What I said to the players stays within the dressing room. They know what happened, and what I said, but now it’s up to them to go and show me they understood what I want, and I have no doubt they do.

“I expect a game completely different from the one we had against Liverpool, but I want them to show it on the pitch rather than me talk about it.”

Watford sit second-bottom in the Premier League fair play table, having already accumulated 28 yellow cards from their 11 games; including five for defender Jose Holebas, who will miss tomorrow’s game through suspension.

And Mazzarri admitted it will be crucial for his players to take out their frustration from their defeat in the right way.

“It’s not easy, not easy at all,” he said. “But I tend to trust my feeling and my perception. I speak with the players face to face, and then it’s down to my feelings to realise whether they understand.

“Until the moment they go onto the pitch, even I can’t really know if they really got it or not, but I’m positive that they will put on a great performance. I don’t mean the result, but the performance.”
