useless Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He wasn't good or anywhere near it, but we were so bad that he was far from our worst player today and we looked even worse in attack when we went off. That said maybe time to give Ings a start against Watford, see what he can do with a start and the rest might do Watkins some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Its actually painful watching him try to play football. Offers nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He needs dropping indefinitely. Get his head screwed back on or try again at a different club. Fed up of defending him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'm now at the point where I'm convinced we won't improve as a team until 2 of our first team players are replaced. Watkins is one of them. He offers absolutely nothing. Would rather have Davis or Archer playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s utterly garbage at the moment and I’m not sure he even enjoys playing football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Get him out of the club. Didn’t even give a shit when he scored or when it was disallowed which piles onto the impression he gives that he just doesn’t want to be here. Not sure where that stems from but it doesn’t matter anymore, just get rid. He can’t trap the ball, he can’t hold up the ball, he has zero strength, he can’t pass, he can’t stay onside, he can’t shoot. I have absolutely no idea what he offers. He kills EVERY attack he is involved in. Every single one. I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a player this much. How he is starting beggars belief. I am not exaggerating when I say I truly believe he’s the worst striker at the club. I’d play Davis, Archer, Ings, JPB, Buendia, Ramsey, Young, Olsen, Gerrard or Purslow up front before playing him again 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 His head is well and truly gone. Somebody made a good point the other week when Coutinho scored against United he didn't look arsed. Didn't look too arsed when he scored today tbh. Needs some time out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Completely lost his touch, but also terribly ill-served by endless long balls against a massive backline and robbed by VAR yet again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as Watkins is, Ings is even worse. The people wanting him to start don’t seem to watch the games when he comes on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 We'll keep Watkins and let Ings go to Newcastle, and he'll go on to score 15 goals next season. Watkins will continue to charge about the pitch like a man possessed, trying to do everything on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCGB Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I was amazed we loaned Archer out giving how poor Watkins and Ings are/have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'm actually starting to get slightly annoyed with him. I've defended him countless times but he needs volleying up the arse. Starting to look like a melt on the pitch and needs to be the bully he was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, he probably knew VAR would check it so he wasn’t getting overly excited. Regardless, he was still happy. High fives and smiles. And it’s a crock of shit that he doesn’t celebrate when his teammates score. Criticize him all you want for his piss poor finish or constantly losing the ball but people need to stfu about his “attitude.” Christ, it’s like when people were moaning about Buendia when he first started or Mings chewing gum. Absolute insanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Watkins is gash. I knew it when i was calling for us to sign tammy in the summer. Watkins is a one season wonder. Cash in the summer. I didnt like how miserable he was when he scored either. That pisses me off. Edited February 13, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is starting to look like a mental health issue from the outside. on a side note imagine if we had Richarlison - he looks miserable even when he smiles.
