Spoony Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thought he played really well. Glad he got his goal. Don’t really get any criticism about his work rate or looking tired. Looked to me like he was working his socks of. He’s like a harder working Darren Bent though - he will never create his own chances like Benteke used to so he really needs good service.

foreveryoung Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 If we try and pass to him more instead of passing it around the box, we may have a chance. Targett and Trez crossing the ball in the box towards the end is certainly not the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 He keeps his place for me. He was good today and certainly better than the garbage Watkins has served up lately. I know it’s the Ings thread but of all the players in our side, Watkins has been my biggest disappointment this season. I’ve defended him on numerous occasions and I thought he was excellent last season but this year he doesn’t look like he’s ever played football before. His touch and passing have been miles off in some games. Not sure what’s up with that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Watkins touch and passing has been like before, but when he playes as the lone striker furthest forward you don't see that as much, he presses, runs and takes shots. This season he has been asked to play further down the pitch and then his touch and passing gets exposed. Ings makes more intelligent runs and reads the game better as well. I think when Ings is fit and in form he should be the no 1. With Buendia behind we have two very intelligent players who finds each other well, as was shown on several occations today.

Did it a couple of times today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His touch and passing have been miles off in some games. Not sure what’s up with that. I’m so surprised by this opinion. Aside from a tap-in that was ruled out, he wasn’t involved much. For me, Watkins was significantly more involved. if I had to rate tonight’s performances, I’d have given Watkins an 8 and Ings a 6 Edit: My bad, didn’t check the date on @Delphinho123’s post and I’ve got the wrong match.

I think the point is, that he should be hitting the back of the net - offside or not. The defender is clearing that if Watkins doesn’t get there first.
