So basically you are saying Watkins has been hindering him and the Villa scoring goals. Harsh but fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s a 100 percent chance he starts tomorrow. Almost more certain than Martinez starting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that last week so while Gerrard has said they’ll be changes and one of those 100% should be Ings in for Watkins, I’ll be walking to the ground around team news time expecting the change but won’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.

He doesn't have the pace for Gerrards system. Think we should try Bailey uptop and get our 3 best attacking players on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for Ollie up until the last few weeks/month. Ings deserves it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to provide at least some width. Work the channels, get in behind the defence and generally create space for the 2 Inside forwards to work in.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If we can play some of the slick, defense splitting football we've shown we are capable of in flashes... he WILL finish then off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I love Ollie but Danny deserves a shot today, take the pressure off Ollie for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope that if he does we can get enough quality service to the front three so that we can see how good they are. When we get teams on the back foot and take the pressure off our midfield a bit we can look seriously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
