It's from the Daily Mail, so I do apologise in advance for any distress this may cause, but it is a good article on Ollie.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11999721/Aston-Villas-Ollie-Watkins-taken-game-level-thanks-Unai-Emery.html
One thing I've liked about the Villa from the Smith era, and on in to Emery (we'll forget about the short interlude between those...) is how much I genuinely like the players we have. Tyrone Mings, John McGinn, Ollie Watkins, ... all seem really nice, well-rounded people. Emi Martinez seems like a lunatic, but I always think you want your goalkeeper to be a bit of a head case. They're the footballer equivalent of the drummer in a band.

haha yes algy

Buendia seems a bit of a stroppy tit. It doesn’t really matter of course, but he doesn’t score highly on the likeable scale.

It's the first time he has really f**ked me off today. I was glad he was subbed and he's definitely grinding my gears a little more.

Having scored 14 goals I do think there still an opportunity for 15+ goals and making his best ever Premier League season
Watkins likes his scores against Liverpool
So let his record be made against them next Saturday.

Fact:
5 games and 5 goals vs Liverpool

Given that there are two games left, I think you are correct.

He’s bang out of form at the moment, doesn’t look remotely like scoring.

He was unlucky with that diving header today.

He was unlucky with that diving header today.
Y = h (X) + e

Here y is the performance results, x is the input, h is a function on your input x and e the luck factor. The performance is the function of your input and luck factor.

Then, interestingly, we can arrive at the expression


So I'm not sure if I agree.

It's not like he missed chances today, can't really remember him having any. Not sure if that is even more concerning

Always hopeful Watkins scores in games. Today he may break his Premier League record and get 15 goals!
He has liked playing Liverpool and is 5 for 5, so we shouldn't be surprised if he scores.

I imagine most of us are hopeful he scores.

Bottled the penalty. Needs to work with a sports psychologist to be stronger in higher pressure situations.

He needs to be more way more consistent. Superb for his run of scoring a few weeks ago, but now back to being utterly anonymous again, and he bottled that penalty today horribly.
