Watkins has two anvils for feet 95% of the time.

Watkins is actively both ruining attacks and putting us in trouble by holding on to the ball too long now.

Every time he gets it, you can see he doesn't know what to do with it. Takes way, way too many touches.

Get him off Unai. He's breaking up our own attacks.

The way he always chooses the right self-checkout at Aldi though, nobody ever wants to give him the credit for that.

Yeh it’s concerning. He does a lot of things really well but that’s a basic one. Especially playing in England where high crosses are always going to be an oft used tactic.

The trouble is he seems much shorter than Emi so struggles with crosses that Emi just plucks out of the air.

Watkins did linger on it a bit but I'm not sure how it wasn't a free kick, Ollie probably needed to throw himself to the ground.

In general getting free kicks from Taylor seems to largely rely on on being as dramatic as fuck with a few rolls or a scream thrown in.

Ollie will score in a minute. That’s the only thing that will help mask the deficiencies in his overall game right now.

In the hope that I jinx it positively Watkins is now a waste of a shirt.
