shame Ollie didn't get to play more with better attacking midfielders - he didn't get long with the likes of Asensio, Grealish and Rashford. Poor bloke had Trezeguet, El Ghazi and Traore too often.

They probably say the same about him! Only messin' Oll, happy anniversary. You're as talented, hardworking and handsome as the day we first set eyes on you.

Here's to five more years of 15 goals a season, 12 assists, a questionable first touch and great attitude. Love ya, babes.

He's had to make do with Youri Tielemans.

Still no goal for Watkins this season.

17 in his last 63 apps now.

At what point does this reflect badly on him or is it still the fault of everyone around him?

Well maybe, just maybe, a team that produces absolutely nothing might make it hard for a striker.

If he was doing what Beto was doing today, then you might have a point. But currently he isn't missing loads of chances, we barely create any.

So its the team's fault?

He's had about 2 chances so far this season. We're creating fuck all so it doesn't matter who the striker is.

Well yes, there’s been pretty much nothing produced this year. The team set up is appalling, just look at our XG

After 4 matches how many good chances have we created for anyone to score?

He hardly got a pass to him today in fairness

Watkins is also allowed to create chances for others. His assists are always brought up. He hasn't been doing that either.

He's been atrocious.

We really should have sold him when the offers were there.
