Quique Sanchez Flores admits Watford are finding it difficult to solve their goalscoring problem.

The Hornets have scored just seven goals in 13 League matches since the turn of the year with Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo both struggling for goals.

“The second half of the season we have problems to score,” said Flores.

“It is clear. “I try to support the strikers because Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo are amazing players and have a lot of responsibility.

“We have one style of play which depends on our strikers.

“We try things but we are not this kind of team, we are building and it is the first year in the Premier League.

“We do not have a lot of tools and lots of different responses when we have problems. It is something that is not easy to solve.”
