Watkins will start, he’s like Kane for England undroppable

I know we love a narrative, but he’s the 9th top scorer in the league and last season got 19 league goals and 19 odd assists. He’s hardly hopeless.

Whats Duran done to warrant a start since the beginning of October. Randomness.

9th top scorer in the league ?! That is something i'd leave off my CV

What's Watkins done to start?

Watkins isn't working and if something isn't working you need to try something different because if you don't then nothing will change

He’s always been the same, misses plenty of chances but all strikers do, Salah missed one today that he’d normally bury and Haarland has missed sitters as well. Because of the teams form as a whole Watkins misses are more costly  at the moment.

He scored last weekend didn’t he? Forced a brilliant save the other night? Scored 19 goals in the league last year, probably worth a bit of latitude.

I think someone at the club should know by now how to play Watkins and Duran together even if they don't start together.

Many say we can't play them both together, but that can't be right. Both of them seem to go into a bit of a sulk mode when they are on the pitch together.

and with 3 games in 6 days he needs to be rotated

Last week he scored a tap in even I would have scored then in the second half had an opportunity and set up to shoot then dithered

The Palace goal? You probably wouldn’t have. How about the 19 goals in the league last year and all the assists. He’s obviously useless…

Well maybe 3rd last year will do. The point is he’s still scoring a fair few goals even in a team that is struggling.

[Nii Lamptey]

Not long got back… Abject showing today.
I can cope with players being out of form, but what I can’t stand is shit goalkeepers and defenders taking a fucking age to get the ball into play and up the business end of the pitch, even when 2-0 down.
Ollie had good enough chances to come away with the match ball today - How much longer are we going to suffer his third of a season goal drought?? Just hit the fucking thing!!
Poor starting eleven from Unai too - Bailey had his best game in ages midweek, so what does he do, put a chink in his fragile confidence by dropping him and replacing him with a £10million pound mistake from the championship.
*another special mention for Unai for starting Rogers yet again too. Brilliant decision.

Bloody annoyed. Cannot see where our next points are coming from.

Think I can manage to put a ball in an empty net. Sky commentator today said we should be encouraged by the spaces Watkins is nearly finding. Sums him up perfectly he's not a lone striker he's just a better version of Weimann he needs to play off a proper striker.

He is Paul, but he continues to miss gilt edged chances in key moments of games , we cannot win anything with a striker like that
