Ollie Watkins

[SoccerHQ]

Bottled the penalty. Needs to work with a sports psychologist to be stronger in higher pressure situations.

Just never convincing as a penalty taker so would prefer a new one next season. He went for the corner and it wasn't even close.

[frank black]

Played well today. Shame he shanked the pen, but all round decent game.

[Bad English]

Why didn't Luiz take the penalty?

I wonder if he noticed the 'keeper going that way, and overcompensated.

That's what I thought.

[Footy-Vill]

I can't believe he put it wide!
Very poor on that front.
Seemed surprised himself.

If Emery thought we just needed a top wide player, the way Watkins is finishing the season is probably showing him that he needs another forward too. Even more so if we clinch Europe.

[Toronto Villa]

Oh Watkins can definitely be upgraded. So can 3 or 4 others

[eamonn]

What is Watkins' penalty record with us?

[Bobby Boy]

What is Watkins' penalty record with us?

I think scored once missed twice

His record prior to joining us was poor too.

Over to you Unai.

[Goldenballs]

Saw on twitter that he's missed 5 from 9. Dunno if true.

I know this sounds stupid but I don't think that he is a natural or instinctive goalscorer, he thinks far too much! His name is on the back of my shirt so I like him a lot but ............

Danny Ings is a natural goalscorer and would have scored that penalty!

Hard and high down the centre, left or right. A keeper will hardly ever save one.

Yes but we'd be 12 in the table if Ings had played all the games since February instead of Watkins. Man has opted for semi-retirement at WHam cos he isn't and won't be a regular starter there either.
