I thought he played really well when he came on today; and not too much demanding football, so should be back nice and fresh for our game at the weekend.

He’s looked good in both his sub appearances. If I was England manager I think he’d be my first choice now, unless I was scared of the media.

He should have started definitely when Kane was out with a knock. To then ignore him again with Kane back smacks that his face (team he plays for) doesn't fit.

Didn't like the way Rice ran past Watkins after scoring and didn't celebrate with him initially. Thought he could have showed a lot more acknowledgement as Ollie set up the goal very well with his cross and he was the assister. Watkins had to chase him to the corner to get an embrace!

Thought he was treated appallingly this week, a thoroughbred left in the stable. Waste.

With Tommy Tuchel being appointed and he signing Kane and managing and playing him for Bayern, it looks like Watkins will be the sub striker for a while yet.

I made a similar point in another thread, I'm part of Footy HQ! He was always going to be sub during this next cycle regardless, I just think it's plausible, though, that he may see even less time now.
