Which other player’s thread did you post on mid game? There were many candidates- or even the coaching, which is where the real problem lies right now.

OK. Moving on, when do his performances become his fault?

Only Watkins gets the excuse of 'no service' every time he's criticised.


And yet you're only posting on one player thread.

I post on multiple.

How long does he have to go on like this before it is down to his own performance, in your opinion?

Usually only about Watkins. He ALONG with the rest of the team have questions to answer, but the issue in the last few games is not simply Watkins as pointed out to you. You are behaving like he specifically has been missing chances like Beto did today. Yet nothing has been laid on a plate for any of our players.

As for your earlier question on which £70mil strikers, choose any of the ones who have moved teams this season to the Prem. Or if you want to add others, please do. Then tell me how many you think they would have scored with the TEAM playing like they currently are.

When the rest of the team pick up their performances, as been mentioned to you multiple times.

Same time as when you admit you have an agenda against him. The whole team, and management and coaches, is a problem right now. You, however, only focus on Ollie.

I would shit on Ollie if he's screwed up in front of goal. Thing is I can't remember an opportunity for him to fuck up yet.

Does this include Ollie?

Fucking hell this is boring. We all know what 'whole team' means, obviously that includes Ollie.

He's been poor this season, as have the rest of the team.

I've no idea why anyone would try to pretend that he was poor in previous seasons though, even going to the trouble of deciding that assists don't count as a positive contribution to suit an agenda.

Weirdo behaviour.

He wasn't great but I have some sympathy for him. No-one passed to him, crossed to him or played any through balls for him. What was he supposed to do? All the attacking play was by Everton in our half 60 yards away from him.

I never said his assists didn't count. Its posts like this that make the Smirker vs Watkins thing, a thing.

I said they didn't count when I was talking about his goal scoring. Only goals count when it's about goalscoring.

I am not seeing a lot of movement off the ball from him and on the basis he is not brilliant back to goal with physical defenders he has to make himself available by moving.
He is not helped by the pedestrian style of play though.

Right now, he looks like a player who doesn't want to be here.
