Ollie Watkins

[PeterWithesShin]

One of the best debuts I've seen.  Right up there with Stan.

And Didier Six.

You look at his stature and struggle to see how he's going to cope physically against big centre halves, yet somehow he wins a very high proportion of high balls and recycles possession really efficiently.

We've got a gem on our hands, by the look of it.

it's because he jumps really well, gets up early, loads of height and hangs there for a moment.

[robleflaneur]

He never stops and  apart from picking up possession,he frequently finds space in the box.A nightmare for defenders.

[Smithy]

I love his work rate.  He's very difficult to defend against, as Klopp mentioned, because he can do a bit of everything.

I also loved the tinge of disappointment for missing his 1-on-1 in his post-match interview - That drive to improve and do better will take him up to even higher performance levels.

I think he's going to score a lot of goals for us...

[Dante Lavelli]

He'd already impressed me without scoring, but today he got the goals his work so far had deserved. I did worry he might just be a poacher and not much else but he's very good all round, has a bit of nous, works the channels well and reads Jack very well. I think he'll hit 20 this season. He'll make a few too and I think there's a certain benefit he has from having been a wideman before. I guess like Henry. If he's half as good as Thierry, he'll do alright.

I previously said he looked like Bent on this thread but today he looked better.  Held up the ball and looked like he could beat a defender.  Fingers crossed he is the complete forward, the signs are good (caveat, we just won 7-2).

There's an efficiency about his play that's really impressed me from the off, this lad is going right to the top. With us.

[Somniloquism]

According to the Beeb, Klopp was mentioned him when speaking about us.

[Ollie] Watkins wow

[garyfouroaks]

i thought that he eased up a bit in the second half

Not a patch on This debut against Norwich

[Risso]

There's an efficiency about his play that's really impressed me from the off, this lad is going right to the top. With us.

He looks like he genuinely could play anywhere in the front three.

[ColinMac]

Watkins gives us pace, strength and an outball.. he stretches the opposition defence, he's a Gabby before he bulked up, once Wesley is fit he better get used to sitting on the bench 

[richtheholtender]

He’s the player gabby should have been

[aj2k77]

Brilliant kid, brilliant.

[Jon Crofts]

He’s OK is suppose.

Trying to not get too carried away after that performance from him, but goals aside, think his work-rate has been really impressive.

When it went to 5-2 and another goal for them might have changed the complexion of the game, he scrapped really hard to hold the ball up a couple of times and it just took a bit of pressure off.

His second goal was superb.
