It's Your Round Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Brilliant today, he might not have scored but he made that first goal with his sheer determination. He’s a real menace to defences with his none stop running and pressing. Well done Ollie, I love to see him do well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Only watched the 2nd half but Watkins was immense. His hold up play and general tenacity was really good. Just wish he could complete the package with finishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Cops alot of stick Ollie , but for me his class and Emery will get the best out of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Minus the Emery performances the last 18 months I’ve felt like his ball control passing touch technique has been poor. Since Emery has come in he’s holding the ball up much better, passing , touch technique have improved big style. his finishing though. Hopefully he’ll get to 12/14 goals for the season. Was fantastic again today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Again showed today why i think someone to play alongside Ollie will be more likely rather than a replacment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Reading the match thread you'd think we had Ross McCormack playing up front. Ridiculous and shameful for a guy who bust his guts out for the shirt every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 games since Emery took charge. Can't ask for more. Keep it up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KentVillan Posted January 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 I wonder if Emery has worked with him on his awareness around the box… getting his head up more, listening for calls, not feeling the need to get on the score sheet. A lot of people dig Watkins out for his finishing, but when he’s playing badly, his biggest problem is not getting his head up and seeing the obvious pass. Today, with the exception of the early chance, he did seem to be constantly looking for the right pass, and that’s what’s so encouraging. He’ll score goals anyway because he gets in so many good attacking positions, and his style suits our counter attacking tactics. And his finishing isn’t awful, it’s just not up there with the really elite strikers. Jesus is a pretty average finisher and has been brilliant for Arsenal this season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Incredible reactions to setup the first goal - he covers about 18 yards to rush for the ball before Lloris. He missed a chance in the first half, but makes it count in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Again, he gets so much criticism and yes he can be frustrating at times, specifically his finishing. However you can't deny the impact he can have. Getting in those positions (even if he should finish more), assisting the team and creating assists. He can even finish chances others wouldn't. Some think its so easy to go out and get that 20+ striker and Watkins is easy to replace. Can he be? Probably, it's certainly not straight forward though.

Brilliant assist as well Bullied them time and time again under the high ball. He has a good knack of leaning into the defenders and stealing the ball off them when they miss the first header.

foreveryoung Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I agree great game he had, for a outfield player. Losing the will to live with him playing as a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 He's such a strong runner and keeps it going for 90 minutes too. Dean Smith said he was the best pressing forward in the Premier League and that's what he was today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
