Popular Post markavfc40 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 One of the top strikers in the Premier League. It is as simple as that. Due to his attitude/determination then I am also in no doubt he is yet to reach his peak. We are fortunate to have him and we'll have a hell of a struggle to bring in a striker of his quality when we have to replace him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Only two players have more assists than him, both one more, and only Salah has more goals and assists combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This is maybe a stretch but after reading the Unai Emery article one of the quotes that I wanted to look into, was that he met someone who played under him at Valencia a short while ago, and that guy said he'd been watching Watkins. Now initially I went to look at the squad thinking it might be an iconic striker like Morientes who is a fan of Watkins and that would be cool. But the fact he said player, not striker made me look further. Then I realised that Bruno was a Valencia player. That was significant for me because it might mean he's just had a look at Watkins in pre-match preparation, or he might have gone to watch Watkins with an eye on making a bid in January with how light they are up top. It's one position everyone is saying Chelsea need and they're happy to throw cash around. The thing is that Bruno got sacked after we beat them at the end of September, so if he was a target Bruno liked in particular, it might mean their interest lessens.

Pinebro Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Great thing about Watkins as well is he is never injured which I have always looked at as a key attribute. Edited October 23, 2023 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Just watched the highlights again. We are lethal when he gets played in down the Channels either with Watkins getting a shot off or pulling the ball back we create chances almost every time. It’s clever too because he isn’t wasting energy running down the wing it’s the channel maybe no more than 2 yards outside the width of the penalty area but as soon as the full back pushes and leaves that space his is on it on pass or two passes and the balls away and he is gone. Proper coaching with a proper player learning how to use the fantastic footballing attributes to there maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finished his career at Brighton before going into the backroom team with Potter and then following him to Chelsea, where he replaced him until Lampard came in and stayed with his backroom team and then Pocchetinos too. But he was let go from Pochs team after they lost to us end of September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 People say the strangest of things..BBC live Q&A Quote Anon: If anything was to happen to Harry Kane before the Euros is Ollie Watkins a natural replacement? He seems to score goals for fun with Villa but never seems to replicate it for England. Phil McNumpty doesn't even attempt to correct the question, highlighting the fact he's scored in his last two appearances, which happened to be over a year apart.

Who is more complete? Haaland is better striker naturally but he is not a complete striker, his work rate is miles below Ollies. Nunez is a worse finisher than Ollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
