Ollie Watkins

[Ian.]

Ollie Ollie Ollie! Get in

[Smithy]

It's bizarre that he's got a goal and two assists in the Champions league tonight, and many of us are still a bit disappointed with his performance.

Let's be honest, he could EASILY have had a hat-trick tonight.  But on the flip side, that fourth goal doesn't get scored if we have any other forward in world football leading our line.  Ollie is a brilliant player for us, but he's not clinical - and in my mind that's okay.  To improve upon him would be VERY difficult indeed.  Not impossible, but difficult and expensive.

Not tonight he didn’t. We won 4-2 and he was directly involved in 3.

And missed five sitters.

They weren’t all sitters, but in any case you said he “needs” to be more clinical. He didn’t tonight - we won we’re in the last 16, enjoy it.

Indeed and congratulations to your lad, Paul. You must be well proud.

So weird.

Always keeps his head up, even after missing a couple and a penalty fiasco
Proper team player

Would it work better if I put a little smiley on the end of the sentence? I can do it just for you.

Is it a joke every time you’re weird about Watkins?

Sorry Paul, it's just that you come across as Ollie's overprotective Dad anytime his name is mentioned. Match highlight tonight was your "Take that you fucking Ollie haters!" when he scored. Absolutely brilliant.

No offence intended.

Emery on Watkins: "I don't want him to be sold. it's good new to have offers from other clubs.

"Every player can be in the market in case its good for the player, club & the team. But to get this deal, of course we are going to be very demanding and Watkins is our striker."#AVFC

Sounds ambiguous?

[Monty]

It's just that he's so weird. If this were a one-off that would be one thing, but it happens all the time. He's crucial to our best stuff, he scores, he assists, he looks like the complete centre-forward - and three or four times he gets in front of goal and looks like he's having one of those nightmares where you can't move your legs. There's nobody quite like him.

Very selfless all round performance, plenty for the Watkins fans to enjoy, but provided loads for Sexual Ealing, too. What a guy. 😊

Not tonight he didn’t. We won 4-2 and he was directly involved in 3.

But he should have been directly involved in 6.

He’s a top eight premiership player and now a top eight champions league player. Useful player to have on our journey to where we want to go. I’ve no doubt, we’ll get a top striker in to add competition

[PaulWinch again]

Right, but I understand that. But the comment was he “needs” to be more clinical. He didn’t tonight, we won and we got top 8. He is massively important to us, and if he took all his chances he wouldn’t be with us.
