We've done this to Wesley, Samatta and now Watkins. We have stop stupidly fucking belting it long from the back. That does my head in. And we have to play far more compactly. But it starts with launching it long which means the team can never start with a structured shape.

Panic over.  I was messing about with my fantasy team yesterday and accidentaly sold him (I'd been playing with some options and didn't realise I hadn't put him back when I made my transfers) so he's a cert for a hot scoring streak.  You can thank me later.

Martinez has shipped 7 goals since I bought him.  Sorry about that, no transfers left.

Yep, pisses me off too.  As soon as we have any sort of set back like going a goal behind, rather than sticking to our game plan, the likes of Mings gets a glazed look in his eyes, and starts hoofing it 50 yards to nobody in particular, rather than utilising the skills of McGinn, Luiz and Barkley etc.

Superb performance tonight. Goals aside, I thought he led the line brilliantly.
And 6 in 7 😀

Now this lad's a proper forward.

Even before the goals, ran their defence to bits. Wide, deep, forward, they didnt know what to do.

Ollie admitted he was delighted to score at the Emirates because he is an Arsenal fan.

I’m glad Risso isn’t in charge, he was ready to haul him off right before his brace! ;)

Well done Ollie, took the goals superbly.

He's a brilliant forward I'm so glad we've got him.

He may go quiet for spells but he's new to this level, and he's got an eye for a goal and getting in good positions. I just hope he doesn't get injured as we don't have anyone comparable to bring on anyway.

I appreciate that we all see things differently, but I'm amazed that only 7 games in and some people question his ability / performance / contribution.

With a full season in the Premier League under his belt to build-up his experience and nous, we will have the striker we have longed for.

Love and cherish this boy.
