You said "It's a fact that he won us the game today. Fact". Which it isn't. Luiz had to score the penalty. Martinez had to make excellent saves. Tielemens had to play the pass for Watkins to win the penalty. You will be the only person on Terra Firma to think Watkins won us today's game. I'll concede purely because you use the term terra firma. And because I've had around 15 pints. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's tried until the 95th minutes he missed chances but his head never dropped and in the end he won us the game, its a rather simple fact to try a grasp, isn't it? Yes, it is. A player being dogs**t for most of a game isn't a positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just rather win games comfortably by taking easy chances and not having to worry as much about dangerous counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less chance of you marrying Halle Berry (not being assumptious about your charm, just assuming you've never met her ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm not sure what having a 15 inch statuette of Wagner has to do with anything though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong club, mate. 39 minutes ago, Steero113 said: The point I am contesting was that he didn't win the game? He had a huge hand in winning the game. You've gone miles off-piste. Ollie contributed as much today vs. CP as rat-face did for Newcastle vs. Brentford, and rat-face will be hailed as "the game winner." And Ollie didn't embarrass himself doing it. Some days he's on, some days he's off. As long as he's challenging and pushing, I''m basically happy.

Marka Ragnos Posted September 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Quick question: What do you think of Ollie on the left wide and Zaniolo as a bulky striker/CF?

But generally, I agree Watkins is fine. I would like our 'control' to be a bit quicker whilst we are pulling the opposition out of shape. And as you say, it will come.

Keyblade Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I like how we have this expectation of strikers as a fanbase as if we have a history of having prolific strikers. In 30 years we haven't had a single one get 20 league goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thought some of his movement was decent, but overall another poor performance. His finishing is woeful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he doesn't! His passing is poor, his touch is poor. Yes he brings energy, but this is simply not true. So many moves break down because of his ability to make the right decision quickly, or to execute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
