Now Douglas Luiz has left , Watkins can step up for penalties.

He can step up, but Tielemans should take them.

Watkins was a hero for England at the Euros, getting married he's on upward trajectory.
Some strikers don't like taking pens but I think Watkins is at his peak and would love for him to add this to his bow.
He'll have a strong chance of over 20 premier league goals for sure if he's on pks.

Yes but we must choose the best kicker and that's Tielemans.

I'd expect Watkins to be given the chance if he wants it.

Anybody know what's going on with Ollie? Not in the squad for the final pre-season games, his thread halfway down page 2 on this site, it's as if he has fallen off the earth.

I saw a mention in the Duran thread of Ollie misbehaving but not sure if it was a bad attempt at a joke or not. I assume so but?

Anyway, it's not looking good for him starting on Saturday so wondered why he has been out so long when Konsa and Emi have both come back into the team.

I would say it is looking perfectly good for him starting on Saturday, which is why he wasn't risked in our last pre-season friendly.

Really? Starting the season without a single minute of pre-season? I genuinely don't think I've ever seen that before.

I read somewhere of a suggestion that he was poorly sick. Besides, Konsa and Emi have only played one game and i'm not sure where a thread is on a football forum is too much to worry about.

I heard a suggestion the club are trying to arrange a behind closed doors friendly this week to give him a run out.

I meant that it had gone quiet on the forum and therefore it seemed nobody had heard much about his whereabouts.

Hopefully he has a game or two behind closed doors as Risso said.

I heard a rumour, they say he's got a broken heart.

It would be a cruel summer if he left.
