Ollie was constantly fouled , having his shirt pulled In fact Cahill climbed all over him immediately before their second goal. Deserved a goal or two on performance alone. He's been a huge part of why we've scored 50 goals this season. Is that the first time we've scored 50 in the premier League for a while? Ollie gets very little protection from refs. Now he's being typecast as a diver. Palace were able to kick lumps and climb over him. I cannot think how frustrating that must be to not play your natural game. It's not just a Grealish issue in the side - though of course, he still gets very little protection. I watch Ward foul Jack three times in minutes of him coming on. The ref had multiple chances to stop it by issuing cards and did nothing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref had multiple chances to stop it by issuing cards and did nothing. To be fair Joel Ward did get a yellow for his third foul on Grealish. I'm not disagreeing with you, teams know they can 'rough' us up a bit and I think we are a bit of a soft touch. Especially in the middle, teams can play through us easily and it's why yesterday Palace had more shots against us than any other team this season. Yesterday second-half we were really poor and Villa only have themselves to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2021 Can't believe I'm actually going to watch Ollie play for us on Sunday. I wonder what shit song we'll sing for him? One Ollie Watkins Or Oh Ollie Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadridVilla Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 With Harry Kane reportedly leaving Spurs, would it be a surprise if they targeted Ollie to replace him? Personally I think they will target a bigger name with European experience, but I would imagine Watkins will be somewhere down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if they were interested, but don't think they would want to spend the amount it would take for us to sell. Assuming it would be about 65m or more to get us to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Should've had a hat-trick today but 14 league goals in his first season would be a good return for a Darren Bent-type goal poacher, let alone someone who contributes massively to the team even when he isn't scoring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 He's some player. Zero ego. He's absolute and genuine in his effort. And obviously a very talented player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Top top striker. 21 goal involvements. Should have had another penalty today and should have scored a couple more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Paid £33million (with add-ons).... already worth £50 million. Spurs would love him as a replacement for Kane. But I doubt we would sell unless they come in with silly money - £80 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Can't wait to see him play in front of fans on Sunday. We better give him a hero's reception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 How many goals is that now from pressing defenders trying to play out and pouncing on their mistakes? Has a real knack for it, better than anyone we've had in ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 But for referees this season, he’d be looking at trying to reach 20 on Sunday. Incredible step up from him to the Premier League and I wouldn’t trade him for Abraham in a million years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
