Ollie Watkins

Something is wrong with him … he was the worse attacker on the pitch today and there was some pretty stiff competition for that prize

for the sake of the team we need to start Ings as soon as he is fit 

Watkins needs some time on the training pitch to learn how to control a ball and also work on his decision making

I don't think he has confidence in himself or the role he needs to play for the team. Last season as mentioned above there was clear patterns to our play and Oli shined.

This year we are switching between formations and players. How can you be confident to lead a line when you don't know who is behind you and where they actually are.

Not to mention the continual aimless hoofs, he's not Benteke.

Same with most players, play to their strengths or they aren't going to be the same player, it's simple and even happens to world class players.

He won't have the DS safety net for much longer and with Ing's in compo could find himself sitting on the bench. Workrate is good but just not happening for him at the moment.

His workrate is not what it was last season. He was running channels. Bullying defenders aerially. He was leading the line. I can forgive the dry spell in front of goal but simply he is not working hard as he was last season....and isn't technically proficient to make up for it.

Needs to stop moaning about nothing challenges and start being a selfless player again. Being an outlet. Getting out wide. Stop being stop and feeling sorry for yourself.

Pivotal point in his career now that he doesn't have Deano's favouritism. Either kicks on with it and fights for his place like we know he can or continues sulking. Hopefully it's the former and let's give him full backing to do so.

Don't think Gerrard will be playing 2 strikers, so Watkin's will need to play out of his skin, to get the number 1 spot.

Or wait until Danny Ings picks up one of his dozen injuries every season...

Surely we'll see Watkins out wide now. Deano probably promised him he'd stay up top but SG won't. We know how good he is pressing, he could be deadly with Bailey the other side and Ings central. 

That'll upset him. he told Smith he didn't wanna play there.

He must have been unsettled the moment Ings was announced. No way we are selling him anytime soon so he'll have to get on board - if he cracks on he could be very effective, he'll have plenty of chances as others said Ings gets injured more.
