Paulo Pezzolano knows Kwadwo Baah is key to Watford's ability to create chances but is not concerned they are over-reliant on him.
Baah scored an excellent goal off the bench in Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat to Norwich City and continued to threaten as the Hornets nearly worked their way back into a game that seemed lost at half-time.

Pezzolano stated that Baah is a key performer but that Watford have other players who can also create and score.
He said: "All teams have players that can make a difference.
"Then we have Luca [Kjerrumgaard], Vivaldo [Semedo]. We also have players down the middle like [Moussa] Sissoko and [Edo] Kayembe. Even the full-backs."

Baah has generally been deployed off the right since breaking through at Vicarage Road last season but played on the left on Tuesday, a position he told the Watford Observer earlier this summer he felt could improve his goal output.
Having netted such a good goal when dribbling inside off that flank, Pezzolano said Baah may well be used there again.

He said: "KB can play on the left or the right.
"We need to see depending on the opponent where we position him because he's a very explosive player.
"We know his quality and that he can play on either of those sides."
One of the few other bright sparks from the defeat was Nestory Irankunda, who played 90 minutes and posed a constant threat.
Pezzolano is excited by the winger's potential.
"We know the quality Nestory has, he's been working very intensely and very well during pre-season.
"He came in with very few minutes in his legs and he had to work really hard.
"I wished to be able to take him off earlier, to take care of him, but he was doing a great job. He's been doing a great job since he came to the club."
