Ollie Watkins

[OCD]

Yep, I noticed that his hold-up play seemed better. He made a bit of a mistake in the lead-up to his goal but he was still able to turn it into a goal.

He seems better since Ings left too and Duran is getting minutes and looking good in those cameos too.

He runs around a lot, but now he’s running around a lot and adding goals

You can’t ask for more from a striker than scoring goals,
 I’ve probably been one of his biggest critics on here as I don’t think he’s particularly technical but fair play to the lad he’s scoring regularly now that’s all that matters

Next act is to start scoring braces.
It's nice that he's converting chances and scoring one goal per game with clinical efficiency, but we'd want to see him score two goals since, given the chance, he can score frequently.
This season, I still have him for 15+. The signs are all there and given right match he can get a hat trick
At the moment it is he and Marcus Rashford that are the form strikers in the league. Expecting them to score every game.

How is he going to remain with us when he only has CEFR level A1 Spanish?

[eamonn]

We'll get him sorted with a villa in Spain for the summer, he can brush-up on mangling the Spanish (hence "Spanglish").

[darren woolley]

He's been playing well I'm so pleased he's scored four in four.

[Baldy]

Credit where credit is due. He has responded extremely well to the extra responsibility.

Has only enhanced Ed Sheeran career by his learning Spainish. So there's proof!

Keith Barron could become his Assistant - he knows a bit doesn't he?

[hilts_coolerking]

All he needed to add to his game was more consistent goal scoring and he appears to have done that so fair play to him.

[chrisw1]

Not a great first touch but excellent finish.  He's in good form at the moment and let's hope it continues.

"Ollie is really great for the club, he works very hard, I am so so happy with him, but when we speak in Spanish, his subjunctive is all over the place".

[Hookeysmith]

Thought he had a very good game, normally I am one of his biggest critics

Agree, surprised he came off.

He had an ice pack on so maybe a small injury?

[aj2k77]

His consistency is starting to improve a touch now. Looks a lot happier than a few months ago. He never seemed comfortable with Ings alongside him. Maybe he's one of those who has to feel like he's trusted to get the best out of him.

All day long.

Very impressed that despite failing to control the ball first time, I think everybody and his dog expected Watkins to try and cut inside and get a shot off. It's what he does. The fact he decided to take it down the left before firing a bullet shot across the Arse keeper I think took most by surprise. Cracking goal.
