Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted February 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2021 I said a while back I think he’s a better all round player than Tammy and I stand by it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Scores 1 in every 3 shots on target, or 1 in every 6 shots. Decent return I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) On 03/09/2020 at 23:12, useless said: We're not signing Watkins as a winger it doesn't matter how many more goals Benrahma scored than him from the wing, we're signing him as a centre-forward where he scored 26 goals and was player of the season in the championship, I watched at least ten Brentford games last season and Watkins was mostly excellent, have more confidence in him making the step up to the premier league than any other player I saw last season in that division, he performed better for Brentford last season than Abraham did for us when we were promoted, much more of an all round game. Having a good season Edited February 6, 2021 by useless Accidently quoted that, so have made the text smaller to show that I don't think it's worth reading again.

Yeah and me, his all round game is better his off the ball stuff both when we have the ball and when we don't is the best I've seen in a long long time, including Benteke Seen some England shout stuff and the Wikipedia scouts were out, what Watkins does for us is criminally underrated unless you watch us every week and understand how we play, he's key to it, even the clean sheets stats and huge improvement to our defence all starts with ollies high press 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I also love the way he’s very two footed. He can shift the ball past a defender from either side of the area and shoot. Its a really effective attribute of his game that perhaps goes a little unnoticed. Edited February 6, 2021 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get players that can do it but don't get in anywhere near as many goalscoring positions as Ollie, let alone score as many. For someone who only did it for one season in the Championship he has had a remarkable season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Does anyone else think it looks like he plays in slow motion when on the ball. I cant work it out? Hes obviously moving really fast, as defenders very rarely tackle him or block his shots, but it looks like he moves slow. Might be the way he runs.

It’s like he takes plays on really slowly yet they can’t stop him. It’s bizarre. Some matrix shit going on.

Xela Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Fantastic signing. I was a bit apprehensive of him being our main striker this season. I liked him but thought he could have done with some help, hence why he were looking at Wilson as well. He's been amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 For all his great attacking play that moment when he sprinted all the way with Saka shows what a player we have here. Can’t wait to be able to cheer him on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to be able to cheer him on. One of my favourite parts of the match. This is why he’ll be a fans favourite (he already is) when the crowds come back. Everybody loves a trier, especially when they’re also f***** good at football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Noticed that he nearly caught their keeper out with a couple of early shots. I still can't remember the keepers name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 What on earth does he run on. Absolute terminator. He was really confident today after that early goal. You could see he was loving the final 20 mins. The challenge of it. He was back up on his feet after every collision haring around. What a hero to have in the side. You'd be embarrassed to not put in everything you've got playing in the same side as him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Potentially the best striker to play for Villa since Yorke? Angel, Carew, Gabby, Benteke - none were as complete as Ollie. He is Kane Lite and closing that gap. His hold-up, his runs, his use of his body are absolutely exceptional and integral to how we play. Absolutely brilliant player.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Some of that luck came back to him today, but he's deffo earned it. 3 goals each against Liverpool and Arsenal this season too, with a game to go. Wouldn't be surprised to see him improve on that record. He has scored 10 League goals already. 12 total. There are 17 games to go... Yet he has been such a revelation, those goals are almost secondary. I think we've all seen enough to know he's the business for Aston Villa, and probably will be for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This guy is as important as jack now. Has to be the hardest working striker in the league. We lose him to injury and we are in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exeter Fan Too Posted February 7, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2021 Ollie's grandad and uncle must be a bit fed up. (Ollie was brought up as a boyhood Arsenal fan) So v Arsenal its P2 W2. Goals F4 A0 (Watkins 3) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got a swan-like quality, where it all looks so graceful. You know he’s working really hard but makes it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
