Look, I'm not saying he's not capable of some decent things, he is a professional footballer ffs. But the negatives (link up wise) far outweigh the positives, and the percentages of that I've not noticed improving. It's not natural for him to spot openings for a pass either.

I can be critical of Watkins especially with him not getting central in the box, but tonight he played well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Did okay, still not back to where he was last season, not sure he ever will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He’s a player transformed with Ings alongside him. Breathing a bit of a sigh of relief because he looked that bad for most of the season I was worried he was a one season wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He's got so many positives but his first touch is awful. If he can address that then so much more will fall into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Worked hard enough but really his touch is bad his use of his body is really poor. He's so easily muscled or eased off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Watkins was excellent against Plop, deserved a goal. His hold-up play and first touch was good too. Carragher commented repeatedly what a handful he was, their two defenders were having to manhandle him at times and of course the referee didn't help.

Hank Scorpio Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 His first touch is not premier league starting striker quality. He has plenty of other quality that is not one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 First touch is what prevents him from scoring more. A big flaw in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
