Emphasised his player of the year credentials. Those assists were just top class.

Outstanding all round performance today, two beautifully worked assists.

Becomes only the 9th English player in The PL era to get 30 or more goals and assists in a season.

There was that one bit of magic feet from Watkins near the half way line, Trinity side that Messi would have been proud of. Hopefully somebody will put a video up of it.

Stunning performance today from Ollie, energy, commitment, no little skill and 2 assists. Loved the way Bournemouth were pressing us high but this left Watkins one on one with that donkey of a centre back and we took full advantage.

I’m sure Sky will still be scrambling trying to find a way to justify Toney over Ollie for the Euros.

That second half performance in particular was a different level. Incredible.

I've said it before but I really hope Ollie isn't picked for England. I couldn't care less about the national team and I'd like him playing with anger and a chip on his shoulder for us next season

We can’t hope our players don’t get picked for their country while playing for us. We want as many as possible good enough to warrant being selected. Because if we don’t provide that platform through our own success they will go somewhere else. The problem will the England manager. He’s a twat.

He'll be picked for the Euros but he'll get little to no game time, so it's a bit of a win win for us. Shame for him, but less chance of him getting a major injury.

Probably his best all round performance for Villa today. Was absolutely unplayable.

Today is up there with the best performances from a Villa striker, without scoring.

Best striker we’ve had in the last 30 years? Different style to Yorke, but you could make an argument he is better.

I get the point and he clearly should be picked. I just think that Ollie is at his very best when he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Maybe if he got picked occasionally but not selected often enough to keep him angry?
