What a player he’s matured into. Every time he attacked them today you could sense the fear they had of him.

And there's apparently a conversation to be had about whether he goes to the Euros.

Funny, isn't it?
I dont get the love in for Toney.  He cant even get in the Brentford side ahead of Neal Mauphey (however you spell it).

Brentford were arguably better the first half of the season when they had Mbueno and Wissa playing. Mbueno's injury impacted on them more than Toney being banned/coming back.

I take it all back & eat humble pie with a side salad of humility.

I was wrong & I am delighted to admit that in public.

Any concerns I had with Watkins have been ironed out by both the manager guiding him & the player for both listening & implementing the changes that have made him one of the best & most consistent all round strikers in the country.

And as most people think that the Premier League is the best league in the world, that would currently make him one of the best all round strikers in the world.

19 goals - 2nd, 1 behind Haaland
10 assists - joint 1st
29 goals/assists - 1st

Also, while it doesn't really matter because it still doesn't count, in the list of "top scorers if hitting the bar or post counted as a goal", after today he's now three clear of Haaland at the top with 25 league "goals".

Nah, it's fine. Because Ollie obviously *is* the best striker in the league so the made-up stats are sound.

Toney is a potential troublemaker. For all his talents he is not a likeable person and not the sort of personality I'd want in my team.

Toney is a decent enough player, he’s just not on the same level as Ollie.

That's my view too, whereas Olie is the sort of guy you want your daughter to bring home as your future son-in-law.

Agree he comes across as a total twat. You need a hard case to manage him as opposed to a coach. Moyes or the ilk.

Ollie is fucking relentless machine, the T2000 of centre forwards.

Toney can fuck off.

Some tosser on Talk Sport this morning still reckons Toney is in front of Ollie because he can take a penalty. FFS pathetic
