Quote from: eamonn on May 15, 2022, 06:50:43 PMDo we not expect too much from Watkins and Ings? It seems every chance they get, even if it's a half one, they get slagged for missing it. Yet, I think their conversion % stats compare pretty favourably with the top strikers in the PL. Surely the problem is more that they don't get enough service. Ings has had loads of chances recently, and mostly his efforts have been terrible.

There's no point in Ings if he isn't going to score.
Ings has 6 assists this season, our joint-highest setter-upper with Buendia and 5 more than Watkins so he does more than score/not score.
The thing I struggle with is that his first touch is poor and its not improving, why?

If I'd been there I'd have booed her.
