That decision to pass to Bert was inexplicable, even to Bert, who was as surprised as the rest of us.
Quote from: OCD on March 07, 2021, 12:46:55 PMHe's hit the woodwork 7 times this season, twice in the last 2 games that could have given us 4 points. Really unlucky.Is it bad luck or is it that his finishing is poor? 10 goals looks impressive and his workrate is phenomenal. However, the number of big chances he's missed is 11. A more clinical and ruthless striker would have put more of those chances away.

would have 20 goals if it wasn't for the woodwork and dodgy decisions. A very good first top flight first season for Watkins. I really hope when we improve again this summer he's not pushed out wide - he's proved this season he has what it takes to be a top flight striker.
I love Watkins but Yorke was special.
All his goals have been when Barkley has been playing. That stat is still a little concerning. We need to strengthen in that number 10 position. It would be good to have a centre forward who drops off in addition to an attacking midfielder who can be pushed forward. That would allow us to play a variation of 4-4-2 when teams come to our place and park the bus.

I think I'd have him as one of the wider forwards next season in place of Traore who is so hit and miss it's unbelievable.I agree with that, I think it'd suit his game, and he's a much better all round player than any of our wide players with the obvious exception of Jack. I don't think playing wider would unduly hit his goal return either.He’s been an inch away from 7 extra goals this season.When guys say he’s not clinical enough just add that 7 to his tally and see where he is.I’d go with unlucky rather than not clinical enoughIt's poor finishing. It's not some weird twist of fate that on another day would somehow have gone in.

Like another poster alluded to, sometimes a player can still hit the frame with “poor” finishing.
