Ollie Watkins

[paul_e]

Just to mention Maatsen's shot might have been in the keepers control but Watson diverted it last second so it hit him and bounced off and Onana knocked it in.

Assuming you mean Watkins, it wasn't off him, it was the defender (coufal I think).

In the ITV highlights, they do an extra slow mo from the camera in the goal, it did look like Watkins.

Elementary.

higher tempo play suits Watkins much more. This slow, sideward passing just doesn't suit him.

[PhilVill]

100%. He was vastly improved in the last 25 minutes. This slow play needs bombed completely, it invites sloppiness throughout the team. We play high tempo, we destroy most teams.

High tempo all season = burn out by March. Uni has it all worked out. Conserve energy until April/may then bring the heat

I just posted something on another thread to the sane effect - same with the high defensive line, Emery is evolving the way we play for a reason.

Well done Ollie. Top man, worked his socks off as well. Missed that one he should have scored, but kept going and got the winner.

Thats why you need two top strikers. Ollie knows now he has to score and play better as he has duran breathing  down his neck.

Well done ollie great finish after the earlier  bad one. You more than made up for it

[Toronto Villa]

Fair play to Ollie. Missed a great chance early on but took his goal superbly. He knows he’s under pressure. He knows Duran is back. We need him on form.

Brilliant Ollie!

[AV84]

How many more does he need to pass Gabby as top scorer? I'm pretty sure this time last year we thought he'd have done it by now.

Don't know about that but according to my commentator that was 50 goals in all competitions under Emery.

Which is some going considering we were turd when he took over just over 2 years ago.

[PeterWithesShin]

Ollie is up to 68, Gabby is on 73.

Another goal closer to being our top pl goalscorer! What a well-taken goal!
The combo of Ollie and Morgan shows how important they both are to the team effort.
Ollie getting in amongst the everton whiners probs saved Onana from a sending off.
