There's no denying how poorly ollie was playing earlier in the season, but it appears that there were mitigating circumstances for this, including knee trouble. A mythical 30 goal a season striker is all well and good, but watkins' importance to how we play far exceeds goals scored, and there's a very real chance of us being a worse team with a more prolific striker who contributes less in general play.
I've also been really impressed with how his control has improved lately. Some really deft touches, compared to the toblerone feet i had (perhaps unfairly) labelled him.
