Ollie Watkins

[eye digress]

Should have had a hatful last night, but we’ll settle for two!

He was a menace all night, running on the shoulders of Konate and Van Dijk.

So pleased that Ollie’s managed to turn it around after looking so poor back in the Autumn. Seems crazy now, but he genuinely looked finished.

Hats off to Unai, too. He backed Ollie to come good earlier in the season when everyone was questioning why he continued to be selected.

The thing about writing him off was that he looked a step slow, which is what happens when players hit the other side of the hill. However - there was always the caveat that he might have been carrying an injury, and it's starting to look like that might have been the case. He looks to be moving so much more freely.

Thank you Tuchel.

Durable as well ain't he? Six seasons for us, over 35 league appearances in all of 'em. That's a big help.
