Mic09 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 5 hours ago, useless said: Some of criticism that Watkins is getting is reminding me of the criticism that Mings was getting a few weeks ago. I was just about to post this. Hopefully Watkins wakes up a bit like Mings did. The thing is, contrary to what I would have posted under Smith, I think he should be played as a wide forward in a new narrower system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took two defenders away giving Watkins so much more space to play into, meaning that even with a poor first touch he could still then get the ball under control afterwards. Targett had a superb game though. Think this thing about Grealish is being overplayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this thing about Grealish is being overplayed Targett is a good player so of course he can have good games. But he's good in the final third as well with his technique, and without Grealish finding him he doesn't get on the ball in half as many good attacking positions.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I thought Watkins was ok but watching motd he did give the ball away a couple of times which causes dangerous breaks. He try’s too much sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He try’s too much sometimes. True. But he's used to being largely isolated when he receives the ball. This new system will see him having a simple option more often than not and as that becomes instinctive I think we'll see him step up another gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Good tonight. Well taken goal. Although the Amazon analysis being a touch unfair on others. Luiz was our best tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Truly sublime finish today and a hell of a lot of work. Was tasked with releasing his wingers from a one touch ball to his feet today and he did it very well many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
