He should just not go to Germany he should be starting.

Unironically this.

He's not a better striker than Kane, but he's a better all round player, and we'd be a better team with Watkins up top harassing, pressing and running the channels to keep teams on their toes rather than Harry Kane dropping back into defensive midfield because he's bored and wants to practice his quarterback balls.

No chance it happens though.

The attacking coach was having a long discussion with him after half time, I think about coming a bit wider and pulling off into the centre. It worked a treat he was sensational. Zabarnyi was made a complete fool of.

Poor Zabarnyi must have felt like he was in a washer machine on spin.  Just getting turned every which way. Amazing second half performance by Watkins. Deserved a goal, which means he will score twice versus Chelsea.

Toney is actually better suited to England under Southgate as he’s a blunt force instrument that requires no instruction. The likes of Foden, Saka, and now Watkins are used to coaches who’ll give them clear tactical instructions for each game which they just don’t get with England.

There are some strikers when they dont score they dont contribute anything. Ollie is not one of those.

As close to a complete striker as you can get.

Haaland is a better goal scorer. Watkins is a superior footballer. Im saying this as a Norwegian

There's obviously other phenomenal players in this league but as of right now there isn't another player more deserving of POTY than this guy. He was absolutely unplayable today (against a quality defender too) as he has been for most of the season, no purple patches or anything of the sort, just consistently excellent for the entirety of the season with the numbers to back it up. What a player.

He's world  class, grown over the last 6 games, best striker I have seen at Villa and that includes Yorke

Not just the best striker 

He is the best player Ive seen supporting the club by quite a distance

He absolutely should start. Kane is the kiss of death for sides chasing trophies.

Gosh - did things today that I wasn’t aware that he could. 
He really does seem to be improving week upon week.

If this improvement continues for the next 12 months - I think he will be one of the very best strikers in the world.

His touch and awareness were just fantastic today.
