I'm shocked by Ings lack of contribution. He should be doing what Ramsey or Coutinho did tonight.

Beginning to wonder if either of these are good enough.

Neither. Both awful. Watkins is a lower league trier, Ings looks about 50.

Awful, really?

Yes, rubbish.

He’s not rubbish. He scored a lot of superb goals last season. But he’s not good enough to be our first choice. He’s having some second season challenges so we need someone who is legitimately top level to push on,

So Louie Barry needs to be our starting CF then.

Archer is worth a try given current form.

Is there an option for neither? Watkins finishing isn’t elite level and Ings can’t lead the line. Could well be that what see a new centre forward in the summer.

He hasn’t got Grealish setting him up any more.

This does not work. It has to be one of them up top with Coutinho, Buendia, Chucky and Bailey as the 2 behind.

He’s going through a dip in form. If Coutinho and Buendia link up like they did tonight he’ll get plenty.

Watkins keeps running into dead ends - needs to get his head up a bit, don't want him turning into Agbonlahor
