How often as Ings played on his own? I can't think off the top of my head. I think I'd rather a finisher but they both lack what the other has which is why we need the machine from The Fly invented.

Just hasn't really got going this season though.

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,He hasn’t got Grealish setting him up any more.That doesn't make him rubbish though. Our service without Grealish has been mostly abysmal all season. I'm not excusing the play of Watkins or Ings but we've not exactly done ourselves any favours with how we have supplied them.

In answer to the thread’s title, I’m beginning to think neither.Certainly this year we need to try one or the other as both is continually proving a waste of a spot.But Ings looks a bad buy to me - some nice touches and 2 (I think) really good finishes don’t make up for no pace and sluggish movement. Watkins send a shadow of his former self but at least is still moving and pressing so offering something. But his touch, confidence and finishing have gone, and he looks clumsy on the ball.
Very disappointed in both of thm yesterday. Ings should only be a last 20 mins player.

You want some energy and spark coming off the bench in the closing stages and Ings won't give you that. If Watkins has started and has been pulling defenders around, you want more of that coming on off the bench.I suppose the logical order would be Ings starting, with Watkins coming on to give us that energy in the final stages.
