It’s very difficult to judge if he is making the right runs from TV. His hold up play was good, he kept wanting the ball, he has good first touch. A huge upgrade on Wes.Think we need to be a bit more patient, not his fault we did not score from 27 attempts.
I think he's a cracking player. Runs all day long, wants the ball everywhere, can win it in the air, keep it with his back to goal, can hold it up on the ground and bring others into player, is very quick, can get round the back of the last man, can pass, can shoot - with both feet - can head, gets into superb positions. He must be a right handful for any defence. He's been superb for us so far and will only get better. Keep it up, Ollie.
Yeah, I think there might be an element of being in deference to some of his teammates. Needs to be less shy and more demanding from them.
I think Ollie’s all round game is very good, and love the way he can intercept and quickly control the ball. If El Ghazi hadn’t chosen to shoot on sight every time he was played in vs Burnley, and instead picked out Watkins (who was in good positions), I’m confident he would have converted at least one chance.As always, we will only see the best of him if we continue to add more quality to the squad.
Mane has now scored as many goals as Watkins.
