Ollie Watkins

[ChicagoLion]

Literally he did not lose us the game literally but literally could have won it literally.

I got to witness a striker score 80 league goals for us in 5 and a half seasons and yet he gets slated regularly.

I know xG is hated by some on here but the chance that he had early on was 0.34 so about 1 in 3. That's a good chance but not a 'he had to score and by missing he's responsible for us losing the game' one.

That said if he was more confident with his left foot I think it was easier on that side but if we're going to criticise players for having a weaker foot he's nowhere near the top of the list for that.

Literally nobody has said he's responsible for us losing.

I did!

We'll It's all your fault then. Stop being so negative Monty.

And just what am I meant to do with 4,000 'Emery Out' t-shirts, then?

Burn one every time Watkins misses a sitter

Villa's Ollie Watkins has scored a Premier League goal on his birthday in consecutive years, netting against Brighton in 2024. He's the third player to score on more than one birthday in the competition after Teddy Sheringham (1994, 1995) and Tomás Soucek (2022, 2025).
