Ollie Watkins

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Youri is surely the one on pens

I take it you missed Rogers' penalty last week for the England U21s? Rogers' Rocket into the top left hand corner.

Watkins was dreadfully unlucky against young boys because there was no hand ball for his goal.
He also won a penalty for sure as was completely hacked down for Ramsey goal.
I hope his Achilles is ok because came off and had ice pack on his ankle.

A bit of a mess yet again this evening. Nothing wrong with the goal by Watkins.

They use semi-automated VAR for offsides which has an accelerometer in the ball. During the euros they called an accidental brush of the ball
 by the scorer using the same technology. So they might have for tonight. But if they used their eyes, it was too close to call and a bad decision unless some angle we haven't seen was used.

It was a shit angle they were showing us, you would assume they would have a better one more side-on to see it. It probably has brushed his hand but it is so sleight.

I think it was more a handball when Watkins lay on the ball for Ramseys goal.
It was a penalty then if ref had blown the whistle.

Watkins if you're reading this I still support you!
You're reliable, dependable and a decent committed professional there's a young pretender called Duran who some have fallen for it's like the ones who want to trade in their wives for a younger model!!

You're still the main Villa striker and it will be you v Kane to show England who is the best come Bayern Munich.
Duran can support you by starting or replacing but Ollie I don't give up faith in you despite the many here being wooed by the exoticism of a young South American may your thread thrive on!

[Footy-Vill]

Emery has declared Watkins is fit and available to play v Wolves.
His XG in the Prem is only second to Haaland this season

[Footy-Vill]

Watkins has 4 goal contributions 2  goals, 2 assists in his last 3 matches.

In 8 games for Villa V Wolves Watkins has 1 goal and 1 assist and two yellow cards.
Not scored against them at Villa Park just yet!

[Footy-Vill]

Get in Watkins!! Beauty !

I'm sure his first thought after the game is to check H&V.

Ollie hasn't been near his best yet this season for obvious reasons but he's still so good and vital to how we play. That's now 4* goals this season.

I think we're looking at another 20+ plus in all comps.


*I'm counting it.

[supertom]

I'm sure his first thought after the game is to check H&V.

It bloody well should be. Shouldn't even ring his Mrs before he's checked on here.

I'm sure his first thought after the game is to check H&V.

I've heard he's more of a VillaTalk man as people over there don't keep calling for Duran to start instead of him.

Seems to be working perfectly presently, no need to change what seems to be a good tactic of big Jhon coming on after 60 minutes. Watkins still a fair bit off it and once he back on it, he will ge lt to 20... Big Jhon will get 15 plus this year too
