Ollie Watkins

[eye digress]

Can still see Aspinall trickling that one over the line vs Spudz in the cup. Or am I dreaming?

[eye digress]

Remarkable that Ollie has the gold standard of one goal every two games, along with assists and his other qualities, yet some on here were calling for him to be dropped/sold after the Chelsea game!

It’s as remarkable as it is strange, because he looked like he was really struggling early doors, and though he’s improved since then, he’s missed a hatful of big chances.

He’s not testing the keeper enough from half chances either.  Looks like he has his boots on the wrong feet sometimes, however no one can question his workrate and how welll he fits in the team.

The abuse he gets is fucking ridiculous. His record for us is exceptional and yeah he misses some chances but his overall contribution is superb.

Yeah,about today.....

He's just not good enough.

[Astnor]

He is very good to run himself free and get and hold the ball and run with into the box or thereabout. He is short of ability and confidence to do anything from there it just comes to nothing - today this was worse than not good at all.

That was 2021 Watkins.

Just nonsense.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

For whatever reason it's not working out for him this season. I can't see today doing much to boost his confidence either. He can have no complaints if Duran now starts more games. Maybe a rest will do him good.

Yep, a bad day at the office for Ollie today, and he suffers further in comparison with Duran who came off having scored a good goal.  He could easily have had a 30-minute hat-trick today, and instead barely worked the keeper.

He has days like this, unfortunately, but at the same time if he didn't, he'd be a £100m player and would probably have been sold a couple of years ago.

[Risso]

That was as bad a display from a striker against the worst team in the league as you’re ever going to see. Horrific first touches, terrible decision making and piss poor shooting and passing.

[Toronto Villa]

It was truly dreadful. Poor decisions in almost every instance. The ball he let bounce and not head to every chance he blew. Arguably his worst ever performance for us.

[taylorsworkrate]

Butchering three guilt edged opportunities in the space of about 10 minutes is very poor.

Didn't he have 5 in 5 before today? He had a shocker in front of goal today but nothing wrong with his hold up play.
