Watkins and Duran didn't end the game together and I think Duran scored when Watkins was off the pitch.
Both scored which is just fantastic!
I think with Ginny injured there's an opportunity for JD to start with Watkins.
A two up front scenario

Interesting words on the Watkins and Duran playing together debate 

Emery said:
"It’s my challenge to try to get the best of (Duran) him, playing as a striker, playing with Ollie Watkins. The idea is they will play more together"

What's interesting will be the number of goals and assists they both gets this season given some shared striking duties and minutes.
The impact so far has seen them both produce good output and that's encouraging.

Vs Ipswich Watkins started Duran bench and came on to play together.
Only given 20 mins of time on pitch together and little evidence there was any link up play .
Duran on 64.
Watkins was subbed off 84.

A thought With Ramsey injured there's a chance for Duran and Watkins both starting ?
Watkins could even play wide left forward.

On TNT it was interesting to hear Ash Young talk about Watkins after Ferdinand suggested he was a confidence player.
Youngy said "Ollie is a worrier"
When asked after Duran must be considered to be starting because he's scoring Youngy said " Ollie scoring as well so he doesn't think he drop him"

Though way Duran keeps performing it is going to be worrying Watkins. I do hope something can be worked out for beneficial of team and having both on the pitch together.
