DEENEY: I’D NEVER TAKE A CHEAP SHOT AT MARCO

TROY DEENEY and Marco Silva cleared the air after the Watford captain’s comic one-liners at a fans’ forum were turned into a grudge that never existed.

The Hornets talisman (left) asked fans to lay off Silva and “let us kick the s***” out of Everton. Posting on Instagram, Deeney said: “It’s no secret I can say dumb stuff and sometimes don’t know when to shut up, but I’ve always spoken of my admiration for Marco.

“I would never take a cheap shot at him, let alone when he’s going through a tough patch... not my style.” Watford goalscorer Andre Gray said: “With the ex-manager here, there was a bit of extra spice, especially for the fans, but it pushes you on.

“We didn’t play that well but we got over the line, and regardless of that ‘edge’ we would have gone for it.”
