I reckon there should be a list of who are considered the best penalty takers, whoever is on the pitch and highest in the list takes it. So for example, Tielemans is #1 and on the pitch, he takes it. If he isn't on the pitch then it's the second name on the list. Ollie should be a few names down the list. Penalties can be a weird thing, some love taking them some hate them. When I was a lot younger a mate of mine who was a striker and played some decent non league hated them with a passion. He'd have been 11th in a shootout if he had the choice. Me, I loved them, give me a penalty with everything on the line and i'd have been in my element and would expect to score. But he was a much better player and goalscorer than me in open play.
Blimey, talk about glass half-empty. He played great last night and scored a cracking goal. OK, he missed a pen, just give it to someone else.
We’ve played six pre-season games and he’s scored 4 goals. He could have had a few more too.I reckon he’s going to have a great season.
Watkins will have a lot of ammunition next season I think. Yes he'll miss a few, but he'll score a shitload too, because he's natural goal scorer. Get ready.
I wonder if Spurs will make a move for him now they need a striker and have £100m in the drawer. And i wonder if we'd listen ??
Aren't the Euros next summer? If I was Watkins and had ambition of playing for England I'd be sticking with the team that has just had a very stable and successful season under an extremely well respected manager.
