Ollie Watkins

[Brend'Watkins]

His goal last night is one of the best he’s got for us. Not spectacular but a sheer will to beat his markers and get his shot away.  Harry Kane would have been proud of it.

I thought it was not totally dissimilar to his one at Man City.

I think the one last night was slightly better as he had quite a tussle with two defenders, and still got his shot away and on target. It was a superb goal.

[Rigadon]

His run of form has coincided with the wider team.  He’s always been a handful, but seems to have added clinical finishing to his game in a way I didn’t think he could.   Dominant, brilliant centre forward play the last few months.  Brilliant stuff.

In this form he’s exactly the type of striker Leicester have needed since Vardy lost a yard. Something I hope all Villa fans are pointing out with glee to their crisp munching colleagues in warehouses across the Midlands.

I know the reasons are obvious but have you noticed how much more he seems to be smiling?  I'm guessing his poor form was playing more heavily on his mind than was suspected.

Vardy's gone on a year too long. He's been a great player in his day and he absolutely terrorised us our first year back in the Premier League, but he's a shadow of that player now. Their back ups in Iheanacho and Daka are nowhere near as good as Vardy was.

I thought similar last season, on paper his goal record that year was still ok. But when I looked a bit closer alot of his goals were penalties.

My mistake! 20/21.  34 apps 15 goals in prem.  8 penalties

I'm surprised Ihaenacho didn't get a look in given the trouble he gave us in the reverse fixture.

Me too, the fucker always scores against us and pretty much nobody else

My mate Lewis (who you met) is mates with Iheanacho, and is going over to his brother's wedding in Nigeria in the summer. Getting flown over there in the private jet they're all going in. All because he fitted a garage door for Iheanacho and got talking to him about Leicester.

Ollie's finish was something else last night. A really difficult shot to pull-off giving the advancing defenders/goalie and the angle.

I could that , well maybe not the garage bit

It was. On two occasions before his goal I was calling him a "f**king donkey" for his complete lack of basic control. It's so frustrating. I've now come to the conclusion with Watkins you have to take the rough with the smooth. His speed, strength and goals are too important for us right now.

Honestly mate, where are you seeing this 'lack of control'? He looks like he's made of velcro since Unai arrived, that first touch for his goal was sensational.
