Ollie Watkins

[OzVilla]

Ronaldo always gets hit with the pre Madonna stuff but very few ever comment on his desire to be the absolute best. To do what he’s done and to still do what he’s doing at his age is simply astonishing. Not just the playing at a high level but the training and dietary discipline that he has to maintain.

That's because he didn't want to remain Like A Virgin.

I still remember his touch for the very first time.

This shouldn't go unnoticed

You can just imagine Emery telling Watkins to Express yourself and it was Borderline his best performance once he was Into the groove - sorry couldn't help myself..

Well played Ollie, keep it up.

Don't worry, it's human nature

Papa Emery doesn't preach

[Footy-Vill]

Handled well by Watkins ! Great finish.

[Bad English]

Score but infuriating all the same.

That was the full Ollie Watkins package today. Lovely goal, tireless work rate and some nice hold up play but also there was the usual bobbles and bad touches (one that even Olsen would've been embarrassed by).

[Somniloquism]

Not seen any mention elsewhere with the praise, but any reason Ollie wasn't even in the squad? injury?

Feeling ill the day before the match. Same with Bailey, although he was well enough to be on the bench. Nothing serious by the sounds of things.

Him and Bailey were sick on Saturday. Bailey recovered enough to make the bench.

I'm sure I read about Emery having a similar type of player that couldn't control a ball. He had a large box built where the player was stuck in there for 30 minutes and had to play it against the box wall without stopping. Something mad but apparently it did the trick. Oh and don't be surprised if Pako Ayestaran has a hill built at Bodymoor Heath. He's done it before and even if the players don't like it they'll be fitter for it.

I've often advocated this over the years when our fitness has been left wanting.

If I recall correctly, Sir Ron was also a fan.

Just gerrum up Barr Beacon.
