His work on Sunday with his back to goal was superb, always showing for the pass and either holding the defender off or winning a free kick. He's definitely happier in this role, playing in a two crowds him out and makes him have to think twice about his runs.

He's perfect for the way we're trying play, Gerrard must think it's Christmas having him to work with.
Conversely - i would of backed Ings to have finished both chances that Watkins missed. For all his many attributes i dont think Ollie is a natural finisher
Ings? For us for anyone?
Luckily we are protected by insurance and our medics would have done anything necessary when he joined....right ?
