Watkins has made a great start to his Villa career and I think he will only get better, he’s not even close to his peak age I’d say Helenius lived up to his price tag to be fair! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of a very small group of football pundits that I pay attention to when they talk, I dare say Simon Jordan would never give an opinion on the length of the grass of a football pitch when the score was 7-2. Ollie Watkins is going to get 20 goals this season if he doesn't get injured! Edited October 8, 2020 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to Listen to Souness too.....but his love for Liverpool eclipsed the professionalism he should have shown doing his job.....He let his guard down, like you would expect from a fan....he gets paid handsomely for being a pundit,not a fan. I didn't see pundits making excuses for us when we got mullered last season.....it was always how good the winning team was.....these pundits suffer from double standards and as paying viewers, we deserve better. They are employed to give a professional view.....that view should be impartial. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to make it simplistic as I you seemed to misinterpret me. Watkins looks exceptional, Wesley was an inexperienced and much younger player thrust into the PL and expected to perform and I think (and hope) he could be great. Davis sure has a lot to do but he can learn a great deal from Wesley and Davis. I still think Wes will shine......he will come good. flirting around this team with new found confidence and belief can only rub off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes up his mind and hits it true enough, its just that the keeper guessed right for the only time that day!

Look at Evra more or less breaking down because United were beaten by Spurs or Keane having an axe to grind against the club that turfed him out. For Sky it's all about creating that sort of drama nowadays rather than actually providing any sort analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
