Ollie Watkins

[PeterWithesShin]

We need better.

[astonvilla82]

10 goals in all comps plus internationals now.

signing for the Arsenal in January

Yes, for £200m.

is that a starting bid?

[pablo_picasso]

Another game, another goal for watkins.

Fair play to the lad.

I hope his form continues & continues to ram my words back down my throat... 👌👍

[Footy-Vill]

I've done my research and in Luton 5 away Prem matches the opposing centre forward has scored against them in every game.
Ferguson, Jackson ,Vinicius, Calver-Lewin, Wood x2

Watkins will be scoring then but can he get a hat trick?

[Brazilian Villain]

Yes, and no.

[paul_e]

yes and maybe. It'll depend how early we score. If the game is similar to Thursday and we get on the board in the first quarter I think it'll be a comfortable win to pad out the GD. If we go into the second half level then it'll be a much more nervy game.

absolutely this,
 if we score in the first 20/30 mins we can go on to win comfortably, wasted chances can come back to bite as seen today at Stamford Bridge so its important to score first as early as possible and control the game

Ollie works hard no doubt but he misses sitters weeks after week.

He missed a sitter against Luton which in the end didn't matter and another today.

In the end this will matter.

[Meanwood Villa]

Missed one against West Ham too

We know, Unai knows, the players must surely know, we have a player when facing goal is one of the best in the business. With his back to goal he's at very best, average. We've bet the farm on him as our only real centre forward. Players need to look for that through ball for Watkins to run on to. Watkins needs to go searching for that ball. Today his movement was poor, gluing himself to their central defender.

Like when Wenger spoke to Henry, Unai needs to have a similar chat with Watkins.

[Risso]

I don’t really think it’s a case of what way he’s facing, he just misses too many easy chances.

[ChicagoLion]

He is never going to be a natural finisher, sadly we punted Archer out and we have no alternative when we could really do with something different.

[SoccerHQ]

He's always going to be one of those who scores at a good rate but should score more.

We've had three years of him and all in all he's been a fantastic signing. However if people are still amazed he misses reasonably simple chances most games then that's the way it's going to stay.

[VillaTim]

Think he's going to go on another 6 or 7 game barren run again now

[Risso]

He's only scored in three Premier League games this season. One of those games was a hat trick of course, but we need our only striker to be hitting the target more regularly. A relatively simple header today, if that goes in, then there's every chance they shit themselves for the rest of the match. A similarly straightforward header against Wolves that he missed, and it's three points rather than one, etc.
