Apple's and Oranges though. And we wont get carried away. Liverpool were bad at the back, but we made them look bad too by using our brains and punishing their reliance on high line defending. Many have tried. Few have succeeded. Well if Ollie performs this well, how good is Benrahma? Sign him up! Reunite them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Ollie is going to be a superstar. 28m a absolute snip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2020 Peter Withe was famously the last piece in Ron Saunders' jigsaw. I wonder if Ollie will be a similar talisman for Deano? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Liverpool certainly poor at the back but klopps summary was spot on. The way watkins played, he was unplayable for them. The only way they could have stopped him was to get to the person supplying Watkins and they failed to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Already loving this guy. His work rate is absolutely incredible. His hold up play is fantastic. His finishing is brilliant. His movement is extremely clever. He looks like a club record bargain, even after the opening 2 games I thought the same. He's only going to get better too. Playing more alongside Barkley and jack and learning from them too. Couldn't be more excited by this guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can score with both feet and his head. He can hold onto the ball under pressure. He can carry the ball and beat players. He intelligently finds space all the time. His offside trap awareness seems to be top notch. He's quick. He's even good at getting back and winning the ball. £28m looks to be an absolute bargain so far. He really does look like he can do it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 What an amazing performance! He had five shots but didn't put a single one over the bar or wide of the post: 3 of them in the net, one well saved by the keeper and the other against the bar. Superb ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If Phillips can get in the England squad based on his championship form then I don't see why Watkins who was player of the season in the championship and has made an excellent start to this season can't be considered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
