thabucks Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 He is on a bad run of form no doubt, but he is getting into goal scoring areas and getting chances, which is something… it would be more concerning if he wasn’t even getting shots - Probs there just shit… He needs to find his confidence & rhythm again and get a run of goals.

Think you are watching a different game to most of us! He’s not doing any of that! Did he even have a registered shot tonight?

GingerCollins29 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 He's never been a great finisher, but he always, always bust a gut for every ball, closed people down, showed for a pass and held up the ball really well. He hasn't done anything near that this year. He doesn't run, he jogs. He needs to cone out of the starting 11 but i think that will make him sulk more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just not trying hard enough, an Gerrard should be noticing this. There has been zero change over the break, which is worrying. I'm not sure how many chances he has left to prove he still has it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I’d rather have a striker that gets into goal scoring opportunities and puts them away instead of one that is renowned for his pressing ability. Would much rather have Ings on the pitch at the moment, to make the clever runs for our CAM’s to pick out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always put up with a player who lacks ability but gives his all. Ollie doing the opposite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Curveball - Play Bertie up front. Although his suicidal cross field pass across our box will be non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but posting that just after he played a game like that which you haven’t seen when posters are slaughtering him probably wasn’t reading the room based on the game. Plus I don’t agree with your assessment re based on overall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be that much of a curveball. According to Transfermarkt, when played at CF, he's scored 38 goals in 72 games. WTF? I'd certainly rather watch him than Watkins.

foreveryoung Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 i don't like to slag our players, but watkin's is proper boring me lately. It's his change of persona, he just don't look like he is enjoying his football at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather him sulk than me pissed off game after game with him. I think I’m more pissed off with him because I have seen what he can do last season and now I get a second rate version this season.

useless Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Wasn't great, but still played better than Ings has ever played for us. Don't mind giving Ingsy a go, but I don't think it would be long before people are calling for Watkins to come back into the team. It's like Janet Jackson once said.

Villarocker Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Became a dad, got injured, Villa bought in a proven PL striker in Ings who will absolutely be on more money and he's been average since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
