Watkins isn't a good enough finisher to command the central striker spot himself. For me it has to be Ings, I just have more confidence in him when he gets a chance vs Watkins trademark slipping while striking the ball and hoping it goes under the bar rather than over it, his ball striking technique is poor.
-
Why would you prioritize ball retention in that position? In an 8 yes, keep the ball, keep it moving etc. He's a 10/inside forward. He's always probing and by definition playing lower % passes. A 10 with huge ball reention stats is a shit 10.
-
They will have fixed a price at which we can buy him uncontested at the end of the loan if we want. So another team can't just sign him for more, we have the option to buy him first, for the agreed amount. Kind of like how City could ahve bought Douglas Luiz for £25m or whatever.
-
There's a reason they scored twice when they only actually put together 3 decent moves in the whole game. THIS GUY!
-
By that logic all players who would play for us are sh1te. So what's the point?
-
When I saw the trademark crossfield ball directly to the opposition from Traore I knew we were fu&%ed.
-
We have too many demonstrably poor players to kick on. Even with Gerrard kicking them on this squad has too many major weak links to really build a decent run. Targett and Hause were awful today. Not because they played badly, becasue they aren't good enough. We need defensive reinforcements in a big way.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
kevpants replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
Should be playing where Bernardo Silva is playing. I think that might have been the plan becasue Silva was off but he's had a resurgence. Doesn't belong in a City front 3. I dunno, maybe it's just that with Villa he got to play on the break or in open field play. At City he's always against a static back 5 becasue teams just sit back and you can't just run at that. It's very depressing to watch. -
I would give him a run in the team and bench Watkins. It's not like Watkins is doing anything to keep his place, the never rending enehergy from last year is not there this year. Thanks fatherhood. I always hated when we played against Ings, he's one of the craftiest little ba5tards in the league. I'd give him a chance.

Strange game, maybe it's all the COVID cancellations and missing players but it feels like the wind has gone out of everyone's sails. Was very hard to pick a MOTM. No one was awful but no one stood out either. Really enjoying Watkins and Ings misplacing passes to eachother then shouting at eachother, great chemistry. Ramsey has great heart. Carney got a bit of a wake up there just how much better Prem midfielders are vs U23. Chelsea won't be anywhere near the title race. Tuchel won't be there by Easter.

Just spoke to her. She’s very relieved. It was a close call.
-
I'll go bolder. By Monday I expect every single PL squad to have at least 8-10 players positive.

More chance of my Aunt growing balls than this game happening I think.
-
Teams that go there and try to go toe to get decimated. Look at Ole at Utd thinking he could take them on and getting absolutely destroyed. If your ego drives you to think you don't have to adapt that's what happens. Frustrating them was 100% the right plan. Then we changed it if/when they got a goal. I think the plan was spot on.
-
I wonder is Gerrard now realising "Oh my god. They're words removed. We were words removed. Was... was I a word removed?" Yes Steven, yes you were.

Ah you can't ever expect to get anything from that place. The refs, VAR, media etc. it's all stacked against you. We gave them a shit afternoon so that's some solice.
-
I'm just enjoying how pissed of the home fans are. Jesus they really are entitled little spoiled brats aren't they? You can see in Emi's eyes he's dying for the opportunity to do a little dance in front of them. He's in front of the kop in the second half so if he does, it could be legendary.
-
I’ve repeatedly X-rayed them and now they glow in the dark and appear to be magnetic. I couldnt find my house keys last week and I found them on the under side of my plums.
-
Oh cool a joke. Cool. I get jokes. Haha.
-
What kind of moron uses pass completion as a metric to measure a central striker? Classic case of someone who doesn’t understand the game.
-
X-ray your balls Kaspy because they absolutely shrivelled up on you today. With all his talk. He is the reason they’re conceding from corners so much. You could see our strategy was to put the ball on top of him because he sh1t himself every time we did.
-
I’ve been his biggest critic but you’re wrong. He’s still off the pace but the ability he has is way above any other player on that pitch today. He’s being forward thinking and positive and messing up some low % passes. That will get better over time. Im now convinced he’s going to score and create some absolute bangers.
-
They’d knock tower bridge and build a 70ft bronze replica of it. The thing is Ramsdale flings himself around the goal for routine saves. Emi can fling himself but he only does so when he needs to. I have no idea how he got to that ball. I’d love to know what his vertical jump is. I’m sure it’s been tested. That is unbelievable athleticism.
-
To be fair. I’ve always been glad to see him ref our games. He’s been the best ref in the league for years. But today was awful. Whatever about the disallowed goal. The decision to book Nakamba as the first yellow card after about 12 consecutive Leicester fouls was just bad refereeing.

Is… is he our best player?
