He's also still sulking after Rashford came in and took his place. Attitude problem.
same happened with Duran.

He's been brilliant for us in the past and I hate to say it but he's done at this level.

Which is why nobody has come in for him.

Sure they didn't? Or just didn't offer enough?

Basically the same thing.

I think that’s premature - when everything is clearly wrong there might be individual player issues but it looks more systemic to me.

Absolutely. Watkins got bullied today with two giant centre halves on him all game. He had little space to work in and we all know his close control and back to goal isn't his strength. Rogers, Cash, Guessand, Konsa were all worse and that's before we discuss the chastity belt put on the team by Unai. He really needs help.

There's absolutely no zip to him though. Like the team he has been incredibly flat so far. Maybe a bit pissed off that he hasn't managed to get a move over the summer. I see a declining athlete though, tell tale sign of a forward rarely trying to go in behind anymore.

Sadly I think he's done. His hold up play was among the best in the league a few years ago. He just can't do it anymore.
