Problem with Ollie Watkins is his strike rate. He misses so many good chances before he eventually nets one. He needs upgrading.

I'd love to see Archer given a chance with this team.

Good shout - Watkins for Cam.

I don't see how Unai can judge him until he's given a fair opportunity to show what he can do. Throwing him in after 5 changes doesn't seem the best way to go. Maybe Unai doesn't rate him that highly.

Love all the decidely homo-erotic descriptions of Carlos's physique we've had this series.
