Ollie Watkins

If Watkins scores again this season he'll be the first English man to score 10 goals for Villa in 3 consecutive seasons since Agbonlahor

All that makes his selection of Toney all the more strange. On form, sure Toney is ahead maybe marginally of Watkins. Selections of Phillips, Gallagher and Mount suggest form isn't what Southgate particularly values anyway. Phillips is a figure of fun for Man City fans!

Mings has a much stronger case for me. He has been solid in the main all season for us. Dier and Maguire have been poor and/or out of favour for their clubs. Don't think Guehi is much better than Mings either.

I'm just catching up and am amazed that Horsehead has selected some of the same tired old faces ... defies belief when club form is taken into acount. Dier, MaGuire, Phillips, Guehi, Gallagher - jeez, I despair.
I'm glad I'm not really invested in the Ingerland thing.

I must admit I'm curious to know who the manager is who would have not just equalled everything Southgate has done in major tournaments but surpassed it.

Just ‘a manager’ probably.

Well it’s difficult to talk hypothetically, but based on history one England manager has achieved more than Southgate.

Still, it seems Conor Coady's time as the off pitch motivator/ jester (or the Richards role, as it's otherwise known) is up.  Progress.

Not true,  Benteke has done it more recently than Agbonlahor.

Benteke isn’t English though

Never mind that how's his Spanish and has he been to Dublin?

Sorry, misread it. As you were.

Yes, he went to see Dion for tips on how to lead the line at the Villa before sealing his move from Genk.

Ollie Watkins sang Luther Vandross’s ‘Never Too Much" as his initiative song.

1000 kisses for a brace or hat trick today!
I hopeful of him delivering!

[Bad English]

Ah well!

[Smirker]

That finish today when he was clear for a one on one was classic Watkins.

That shot he got off in the second half when he turned the defender inside out and created a shot out of nowhere was classic Watkins.

A frustrating player. Come on Ollie improve your finishing! If he can do that he's a £50m player.

A shout out to their keeper Neto, he's been very good, (despite letting in 3).
AND what a name for a keeper, he could come to us as Emi back up when they go down - he'd see us through cup games no problems.

[Ian.]

I’d credit the keeper more than knock Ollie with that effort.
