If he has the ball for less than 2 seconds he's great, more than 2 seconds he's shite. We all know when he picks up and runs at a defence from deep he will run into a brick wall and screw it up. His most effective work is the instinctual stuff imo He literally ran at the defence from deep at the weekend and got an assist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Arsenal would see his limitations as well as his goals, hence why they've never come in for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 With Watkins pace and pressure he puts on the defenders I think he has to be starting. With Ings finishing ability he has to start too. I'm just not sure that starting 2 up front suits the rest of the squad. How do u fit Watkins, Ings, Bailey, Buendia into the starting 11 with Gerrard as manager ? They are our best chance of scoring goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, where does Gerrard put Ramsey who plays well Coutinho who he must have promised will start and the Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I love when the Villa social media account post vids of Ollie banging goals in training like he’s Ronaldo, then in an actual match he misses 4 sitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yes he scored but he was absolutely awful and a major reason for how bad we are at keeping the ball and building attacks in the final 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I'd imagine there's some stats to contradict me-but he looks a net loss out there every match. Scores once with composure but the rest was mostly poor touches, give aways, blind alley runs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) This lad couldn’t trap a bag of cement. He scored - fine, but my god, he was dreadful in every other aspect of his play and the game. It wouldn’t bother me one bit if we sold both Watkins and Ings. One is a very poor footballer who works hard and the other is massively overpaid and probably not fit to play 90 mins regularly. Id flog both, play Archer up top and then use the money to buy two central midfielders. Edited August 20, 2022 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 A terrible team performance overshadowed the fact that, his goal was a very good finish ( Currently seeking positives ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
