QldVilla Posted January 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2022 Both players have their pros and cons, Gerrard needs to start one up front and start choosing who suits the opposition best on a match to match basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpants Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It doesn't work because of Watkins. Ings deserves a run in the team without Watkins refusing to pass to him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted January 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think they genuinely hate each other. Definitely Watkins towards Ings. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Clear as day this ain't an option. Both were awful tonight. Watkins improved once Ings went off. To be fair, the whole team did. Ings is no doubt the better finisher but I'd pick Watkins on his workrate. Just a shame he appears to have inflatable feet and can't control a ball. It's one or the other now, not both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Ings/Watkins Coutinho - Buendia If that's not the setup against Everton then I'll be very concerned with whatever Gerrard is trying to do. It's clear as day they can't work together, Coutinho will be ready to start by next week so there's absolutely no excuse for it. Watkins and Ings are frankly both as shit as each other at this point so I don't care who starts just make sure it's only one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By the arse of McGinn Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’d drop the pair of them. Watkins needs too many chances to score and has the first touch of a rapist. Ings is a great finisher, but just doesn’t have the work rate to be effective in our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will be ready for next week, another 2 I expect, he clearly isn’t fully fit (despite that performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play archer as starter in next game mmmmm good suggest .. Give new start and give they fuel to fight as starter but ings might good idea when Buendia and Coutinho behind ings vs most team that swap Watkins top 6 as we will chase ball more which Watkins better in this.

Newry_Villan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It's a tough one. I'd probably go with Ings. He can't press like Ollie but he is the better finisher. Ollie has poor decision making and needs multiple chances to score. He reminds of Andy Cole in that respect. Cole was more prolific over his career though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) One cant run, one cant pass. Not good enough from either. Playing them both isnt the point right now. Its whether either of them should start at all. Right now they could both be dropped and I would be fine with it. It might do them some good. We need more from both of them. Much more. And Ollie can drop the attitude. Edited January 15, 2022 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 the Ings/watkins show is like something out of a grim dark slow torture scene. we need to play Ings OR Watkins, not both......seriously, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We have two good options to be the starting striker in our 4-3-2-1. One should be playing, one should be on the bench, determined by form, fitness and opponent. Easy. I think with Coutinho coming in this will be the case from next week as Coutinho and Buendia will start behind one striker… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
