"We are not preparing for games, we are preparing for finals. We are aware of the situation, we are not in a good place," the Spanish coach stated vehemently in his press conference.
However, Quique Sanchez Flores wanted to send an optimistic message to his collapsed dressing room: "The positive thing is that there are many games to play, many opportunities".
The reality is that Watford are at the bottom of the 2019/20 Premier League, they have only managed to secure two points in seven games and have conceded 20 goals, for the four they have managed to score so far.
This weekend, Quique Sanchez Flores's side face Sheffield United with no margin for error and with the illusion of adding the first victory of the season that prevents them from falling in the standings.
