Ollie Watkins

Archer is not the Watkins replacement. We need some height in the team.

I’m struggling to remember a player with a worst first touch than Ollie.

I wasn’t convinced last year, but at least he was scoring.Him
And Ings ( who is also poor ) just isn’t working.

I fear it may be a year too soon for Archer, but let’s have at look at least.

Gavin McCann, his 2nd touch was always a tackle. Watkins touch is really poor though and he's not a natural finisher.

[Richard E]

I don’t think it helps that his confidence looks shot to me.

Harewood. Bloke behind used to joke that Marlon could trap the ball further than he could kick it.

Don't forget Reo-Choker.

[Jon Crofts]

Apparently we are preparing a 'bumper contract offer' to keep Ollie and fend of any interest.

Can't see that myself.

I think he’s a good player off form and will be fine.

Gerrard loves him and Meatball, for better or worse. They'll be salaried beyond their natural pay-grade at the club for the next half a decade.

Ollie Agbonlahor too often than not in recent months.

I think he’s a good player off form and will be fine.

I hope so. He certainly played a lot better last season. Maybe a proper manager would get the best out of him, Gerrard clearly hasn't.

[ROBBO]

I really don't get it, for many months we saw him struggle for form with DS insisiting on playing the two strikers together, it plainly didn't work and so for a brief period  Ollie found a bit of form playing as lone striker, now we are back to the two strikers and people are suprised that Ollie has again lost form.

Yep. A player who could be in the World Cup squad in a few months time.

I think it shows up the paucity of English forwards, after Kane its Rashford ( lost the plot) , Watkins or DCL who are limited footballers.
