He should be putting those chances away he missed today.
FIFA has approved a 26-man squad for the World Cup, giving Ollie Watkins even more reason to score 20 plus goals and play well this season.

Look at the competition to play second fiddle to Kane.
There's Kane, Abraham, Rashford, Bowen, Saka, Sterling, Foden, Ratboy, Calvert-Lewin, Bamford, Toney, Wilson all as strikers who will hope with a fair wind and a strong start that they may have a chance, some more likely than others. To be in with a shout Watkins needs to be playing, causing problems and, most importantly, scoring to have a chance.
It’s not his goalscoring that is the biggest problem for me I could live with that if it’s hold-up play was betterLike others have said there’s not many forwards getting a bag full of those anymoreI know he puts a shift in and isn’t lazy which is fine but he hasn’t got much of a touch And too much of his play comes to nothing and his link up play isn’t good enoughBut he’s probably our best option like others have said again We’re not in a position to replace him for a Champions League type forward hopefully we’ve got others coming through so let’s hope Gerrard can get the best out of him but if the basics aren’t there then I’m afraid it will be difficult
