Ollie Watkins

[Mister E]

I thought he played really well when he came on today; and not too much demanding football, so should be back nice and fresh for our game at the weekend.

He’s looked good in both his sub appearances. If I was England manager I think he’d be my first choice now, unless I was scared of the media.

[Somniloquism]

He should have started definitely when Kane was out with a knock. To then ignore him again with Kane back smacks that his face (team he plays for) doesn't fit.

[Footy-Vill]

Didn't like the way Rice ran past Watkins after scoring and didn't celebrate with him initially. Thought he could have showed a lot more acknowledgement as Ollie set up the goal very well with his cross and he was the assister. Watkins had to chase him to the corner to get an embrace!

Thought he was treated appallingly this week, a thoroughbred left in the stable. Waste.

With Tommy Tuchel being appointed and he signing Kane and managing and playing him for Bayern, it looks like Watkins will be the sub striker for a while yet.

I made a similar point in another thread, I'm part of Footy HQ! He was always going to be sub during this next cycle regardless, I just think it's plausible, though, that he may see even less time now.

I noticed that too. If I'd have been Watkins, having first been ignored I'd have thought 'ah, fuck him' and then walked back to the half way line on my own.

Don't worry. Tommy Tippee ain't scared of no one.

Yeah but he loves Kane.

Goal again for Watkins - that's 5 goals in last 5 games in the Premier League.
Leading from the front!
What a striker.

[Sexual Ealing]

He's very impressive for a lad that can't play!

[supertom]

Five goals this season and he's not been near his best yet. When he hits full flow, defenders beware. Considering he's not a footballer it's not too bad. Mind you, Danny Welbeck also has five goals so the naysayers might be right.

Is it me but Ollies heading in the past 18 months has improved a lot. Has Dion taken time out from walking up stairs to give him some extra training?

Also the touch that got Anderson sent off was perfection. He got it in just the right spot to get in front of him and the result was then inevitable.

[manic-road]

Brilliant finish today, he has improved so much under Unai.
