Often not in the correct position, lacking anticipation and too slow to react to a developing situation. There is something wrong with him at the moment. Whilst JJ have clicked with Phil straight away, Ollie doesn’t seem to be able to read what Phil’s going to doJulian Joachim was quick, but this is a bit of a stretch.

While readying myself for witness protection, Watkins had a hand in all three goals yesterday. First one he makes a forward run that takes both centre backs away, creating space for Coutinho, then drops off giving himself a clear sight of goal and Coutinho the option of a pass. Second he stretches the defence by shifting wide right, creating space and giving an alternative pass option. Third his run opens up the entire right side for Ramsey to have fun in. I get he's not scoring enough, but it's clear he's being asked to stretch defences and, last night at least, that's what he did. Not claiming he was MotM, just that he's not playing as badly as is being suggested.
Right, I've rewatched. He has no involvement in the first, his movement doesn't shift a defender and has no impact on the player facing up Coutiinho. For Ramseys first Watkins isn't involved in the slightest. He doesn't even break into a sprint to try and get into position for a pass, rebound or deflection.He makes a fantastic run for the third which undoubtedly made the space for Ramsey. So I'll give you one out of three.
