Ollie Watkins

[brontebilly]

Awful yet again

[ldavfc4eva]

Needs to be taken out of the firing line now, confidence is nil

[Olneythelonely]

Really, really bad. His replacement being Abraham is also a big problem.

[Flamingo Lane]

Not that this is going to be our main concern, but I wonder if he'll be in the England squad for the coming international break.

[PeterWithesShin]

Ollie was poor, somehow Tammy was even less involved when coming on. Doesn't inspire goal scoring confidence for future games.

On the basis of overall performances I wouldn't think so

That second goal from man utd, there's no way Ollie would hit that shot. He would dither and lose the ball.

He wouldn't even get to the ball these days. Worryingly, Tammy looks pretty hopeless too.

[PeterWithesShin]

Malen didn't look good either when starting. It's almost as though how we play isn't suiting any of our strikers.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes and it’s because we don’t produce good chances. The strikers aren’t doing well, but it’s happening to too many to be just about individual performances.

Tammy appears to have had every ounce of confidence squeezed out of him by Unai insisting on playing Watkins no matter. £50m spent on Guessand and Tammy and what's the return, could that money have been spent on one decent striker instead?

Watkins would have tried to cut back inside and he would have been tackled.

True - I remember when Watkins was a great goal provider when he wasn't scoring, that's not the case any more...

[Lsvilla]

I think he's intimidated by Maguire who easily dominates him in the air and on the ground.

[Rigadon]

He has zero confidence and it’s painful to watch.
