UpTheVilla26 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I'll have to have a look now that Ollie is starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Wow, he’s actually picked him. Hope he smashes it, big opportunity to stake a claim tonight. Grealish and Maddison playing so enough creativity behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Dropped quicker than Southgate’s pants when he sees Mount if he doesn’t score witting 2.65 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I'm happy for him starting & hope he gets on the score sheet will do him the world of good, but let's not kid ourselves he could score 4 or 5 tonight he won't start ahead of Kane & we never play 2 up front, just praying he comes back injury free & buzzing because he has netted for his country, Southgate has pretty much said the only reason he called Watkins up because Wilson has an injury.

He could score 7 tonight and he will make way for Wilson or Toney when available Edited October 13, 2023 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 2 hours ago, Tom13 said: His ball control technique isn't a strength of his. I'm far from the only person to think this. PS the sarcasm at the end is pathetic The sarcasm is because your point is simply absurd. “It isn’t a strength of his” is reasonable - I disagree, but relative to other parts of his game I can see your point. “Poor”, as you described it, is simply a ridiculous thing to say about someone who leads the line in a top 6 PL team and is playing for England as I type this. It obviously is not poor or he wouldn’t be where he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Channel 4 talking Watkins down big time, the presenters awful as it is anyway but the tone of her questions to the ‘panel’ is a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Funny how Ollie and Tyrone always deliver for England when given the chance yet there’s none of this Southgate continued trust like he has for Maguire and Phillips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Watkins scores 2 in 2 for England, more than 500 days apart by all accounts. So scoring for England is no guarantee that Watkins will be involved in future squads this season. Another example of Southgate making it up as he goes along.

Will depend on Wilson being fit but you can see it now, Watkins preferred over nkeitah tonight, nkeitah makes the next squad when Ollie doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Odd interview. Seemed to have a different outward persona. Almost as if he's been told he's not confident enough so has tried to act uber-confident in the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 2 hours ago, MrBlack said: Which if that's the case, why didn't he start Nketiah? He does talk absolute riddles and bollocks most of the time. No idea, its what he said when he was asked on Watkins call up at the presser, neither will get any minutes against Italy if they do be only a few minutes.
