I just think Wes and Samatta has set such an laughable low bar that Watkins looks better than he really is. Don't get me wrong Watkins is a very good striker. But he isn't world class.

Think it was Bruce's first ever game in charge. They've had to move a rb into cb and a new holding cm. Surely we have a great chance of winning this. I'm sure they'll attack and will play some decent stuff but our CM should dominate and we have Jack and they have no one close to that level. Worried their keeper will have a world class game and snatch a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks like a Championship team to me. Good with the ball yes, but nothing to fear here. A very open and attacking 4-2 Villa win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is arguably one of the best Premier League players of all time. To me he is up there with Henry and Drogba You know when I say he has the ability, there are those players that have ability to go that far but some never do and use that ability and become very best version of themself. Watkins may or may not reach the best of himself but I do think hes come into a premier team at the right time, it's now upto him to go seize the moment and make everything count. I guess I'm the first to say out loud that I think he could be fantastic not just for us but england down the line as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any half decent striker who does the basics well would look class to us. But i do agree he has got a lot of great attributes but i can't see him ever reach the level of Kane. That is not to say he won't become a top class PL striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong Watkins is a very good striker. But he isn't world class. Not saying hes world class now, I'm saying in the future he could be in some years. I dont think Wes or Samatta has set this laughable low bar, Wes wasnt given much of a chance but Samatta was absolutely rubbish. Watkins will make his own history here at Villa or with the national side. I think if he goes and scores around 15+ goals this season then people will really start to rethink what I've just said, especially if he goes on to do better next season. Watkins has a reasonable good season for his first, I'd put a bet he will do wonders in his second season with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not worried about that team at all. They'll hustle and bustle, but I hope our defence is more than enough to cope and our attackers can hurt their makeshift back 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
