I meant to ask if Wilson is such a better finisher how come Watkins is the only striker close to Haarland & Salah?

Probably because Isak plays more than him.

If we're talking this season though, Son, Isak, Bowen and Hwang all have more goals than Wilson or Watkins.

Obviously the ones who watch the full matches more can confirm, but has he stopped straying offside as much as he used to as well. I don't remember too many chances / goals ruled out from him this season for that offence.

Only offside 2 times this season.
And Aston Villa have only been offside 8 times all season.
Only Man City 7 with less.

Steven Gerrard -No insight.
When he started last season with Watkins, Luiz and Mings on the bench Vs Bournemouth!
Shocking.

I sincerely hopes Watkins hits 30+ in all comps this season.
I think he's being humble saying 20!
And he's not on pens but can see 20 goals and then some!

Ollie's read delivery of the 'story' was rather stilted but kudos to him for getting out there, doing it and enhancing his Villa credentials.

Hmmm, I didn't remember posting that. So I checked, and I didn't post it!
