Ollie Watkins

[Risso]

5 in 5 what? Certainly not goals.

[Caribbeanvillan]

He's just not good enough.

Just nonsense.

His job is to score goals, he's not doing it. Every game he plays in, the talk is about the chances he misses. Then it's about his confidence, well I can imagine it's shot to pieces after that effort today. I hope Emery starts Duran, he deserves his place up front.

[Monty]

His schtick has always been 'is he good? yes, but also, no?', and he's really committing to the bit right now.

[Risso]

If you're not going to give Duran a run in the team after today, well he might as well pack his bags and leave in January.

That would be the biggest mistake we could make
I think I’d be physically sick in my souwester

Must have heard that wrong during commentary!

[PhilVill]

Whether you a big fan of his or not, he was piss poor today. Just one of those half hours and hopefully puts a good shift in Tuesday as it would be nice to get to Xmas and guarantee at least a play off place.

[VillaTim]

Think it's fair to say he isn't an impact sub

What you heard was it was 5 in 5 against Brentford. I heard it too.

His hold up play was excellent to be fair.

Made a mess of at least two assists, delayed pass to Barkley too long and failing to square it to McGinn was criminal really. McGinn put him through and he failed to head the ball was very strange.

[Demitri_C]

Abysmal. He was truly dreadful today. That chance when all he had to do was square it to mcginn fie a tap in and he ignore him then just runs away from goal and loses ball. So bad.

Duran for me should be starting

[PaulWinch again]

He had a bad game - he’s had a load of exceptional games over the last year. He is massively in credit overall.

[Demitri_C]

Think he is having a bit more than a bad game. He has generally not been anywhere near to his normal levels this season.

Not sure if he is carrying a injury but he has looked really bad in various games this season. These were very rare last year

[Flamingo Lane]

He certainly didn't hang around at the end of the game, straight off he was, he did not look a happy fella.

[Des Little]

Can’t fault Ollie’s application or work rate, but I can fault his decision making and  (current) inability to finish. There was enough chances for a hat trick for Duran today, and I think he’d have taken it.
