Klopp on Watkins after 7-2:
"It felt like everyone scored a hat-trick that night! It was a very good moment for Aston Villa in general. They were flying for a while. You need these moments and Ollie is a really talented striker. He's strong, fast. He has a good package."

Steady on Jurgen!  :o

Ollie is quality. You can also see his hold up play is improving.

He can be very proud of what he's achieved this season.  12 goals and 3 assists would be a good return for someone in their first season, and there's 8 games left. Just needs better players around him up top now.

A goal a game from here gets him to the mythical twenty league goals. Unlikely, but still possible if he can blag another hat-trick somewhere. Against Man U, please.

By any measure Ollie Watkins has been a massive success. He’s worked his bollocks off too, ran as much as anyone in the PL and looks a very natural goalscorer. And he’s done it all with a smile on his face and a brilliant attitude.

Probably commenting on Ollie's fatherhood. I liked how keen he was to get the ball from the net after he scored so he could do the "baby" celebration.
Would have preferred Nakamba and Trez to have joined in with the 'Bebeto swinging the baby barbershop trio' version, but it was nice all the same.

Only skimmed it, but interesting 40secs at 38:20 where he references the bigger pressure of being at Villa as one of few strikers, more than the pressure of England camp.

Ollie talks of his move to us around the 25 min mark and his relationship with Jack.

Level with Harry Kane, on 38 chances -No striker has created more chances from open play in the Premier League this season than Ollie Watkins!!

I think it shows how much a team player and all round attacker he is.
Not only goal scorer but a creator too

My opinion on Watkins is that it's a pity he has to keep coming wide to get in the play because he is a natural finisher with absolutely no supply.
