Phil Silvers Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Love this dude, my favourite of all the new signings and shaping up to be our best striker for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Into double figures now. He scores goals and just never stops working for the team, I absolutely love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Apparently Ollie has got a 90 min sprint planned for Wednesday evening as there is no match and he'll be bored otherwise. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 So so good. His work rate is immense. He will only get better as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) How fit is he? Has the markings of going down as a true legend here. Mental to me that some fans actually still don't rate him or give him a hard time when having a barren spell. Seems to score in clusters.

theboyangel Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Watkins for England? We could do with that kind of work rate internationally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 He is brilliant. Not a fan when he goes out wide to get onto the ball as he looks uncomfortable. Brilliant at finding that half yard or getting a shot off quickly. Starting to get into the conversation of maybe an England call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Indigo said: Sounds harsh because he's already hit a total of goals I think most people would have been happy with him getting over the course of the whole season, but I think the only thing stopping him from being a top level striker at the moment is that he spurns a few too many chances. What a signing he's been though, genuinely transformative to the way we play. Really bullied Holding at times today. Yes he has but at the same time I don't think he's had many if any where he's made a complete hash of it or got his decision making wrong he's had shots low and hard across the keeper that haven't found the bottom corner but from the angle he's at its absolutely the right idea it's just the technique is off by a gnats pube He's not missing much because he's gone near post when he should go far or vice versa etc he's doing the right things and it's usually super fine margins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 He has a great knack og pinching the ball off defenders. I don't remember having a striker at villa who has done this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Watkins is performing so well, be great if he can get 20 PL goals. It's certainly possible, he must fancy himself to score in every game he plays! His hold-up play and movement was top class against Arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his penalty record, might just be a composure issue. Its the only part of his game where I can point a flaw in. If we trust xG, he has the second highest xG in the league so far, only behind Jamie Vardy. If he can improve his finishing he could truly turn into a world class striker. Right now he has all the tools though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa 59 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Love Ollie I don't even think of him as a striker anymore. I just see him as an extremely hard working team player who scores goals! Worth every penny. Magnificent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now he has all the tools though. He's only 2 goals behind that xG number and he's been very unlucky with some chances. Rattled the woodwork a couple of times. He gets in to great positions. The finishing will come IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Love the dude. Has been wasteful at times but now consistently scoring. Maybe they’ve sharpened up his finishing a bit. Slowly becoming a complete striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
