Ivic: I Want More From Hornets

TROY Deeney’s inspired display saw Watford ease past Preston, but manager Vladimir Ivic demanded his Hornets play better.

A starring performance by Deeney, making his first start of the season, contributed to a comfortable win, with Domingos Quina, Nathaniel Chalobah and Joao Pedro joining their skipper on the scoresheet.

But Ivic thinks his side have room for improvement.

“I believe we had a good game, but this was not our best performance,” he said.

“This is our target, to play better and be able to play every game like this, to improve some details during the game.

“When you have a lot of injured players you need to be smart in how to use them.

“I could speak about Troy and his quality, and how he’s important for the team, but I don’t think it’s a doubt.
