Ben Foster has been Watford’s starting goalkeeper in the Premier League

He said: For a team like us when you are changing outfield players it can maybe make a difference but when it comes to the goalkeeper, especially when you are talking about someone with the talent of Gomes, I get to see him in training and hes an unbelievable goalkeeper, I dont think it makes that much of a difference.If you are changing a handful of outfield players then it can make some difference but Gomes is still a world class goalkeeper.I still think he has a lot to offer. He spoke about retiring at the end of the season and we are all trying our best to get him to change his mind.

Ben Foster signed for Watford from West Brom

We are a good team. We signed in the summer and straight away could see weve got a lot of quality in not just the starting XI but throughout the team, Foster said.It proved me right straight away and we got off to a great start and just kept it going as well.When you get to my age, you just feel a lot more comfortable, you know what you are and you know what you can do and cant do. Watford are very good at looking after me in the week leading up to the game and they understand that if I dont want to train on a Wednesday then they are happy with that.I can just go and do a bit of gym work.Im just in a great place. Ive made mistakes and I know how to deal with it and I can just enjoy the games, which is a nice feeling.
