Reivax_Villa Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Nearly won us then game with a goal Could have won us the game if he had taken his chance. 33 millions is a bargain and is the hardest working player by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 2 minutes ago, useless said: Ings was just as guilty as missing good chances today, despite how poor we were first half could have been two or three up, at least Watkins got a goal. Truth be told can see why Gerrard wants to improve that area, we need someone more ruthless in front of goal than both Watkins and Ings. Ollie's miss is much much worse. His touch takes him away from goal. Criminally bad touch. That was the match winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It doesn't matter which was worse, they both had good chances to score goals, Ings more so and missed badly every time, at least Watkins scored one of his chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really cannot afford to keep missing these chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He is such a good player but whenever he gets through in a 1 v 1 chance he usually fluffs it. I suppose that's the difference between a good Premier league striker and a world class striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He can be a frustrating player but he's the least of our worries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Blows my mind that of the two strikers we played today, Watkins is the one getting the shit. Ings was either missing chances or totally ineffective. Watkins worked his arse off, got a goal, should have had an assist. Yes he probably should've scored at the end but it doesn't completely negate what was a good performance otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 World class strikers convert less than 1 in 5 chances. Can't call him sh*t when we spend 80+ minutes generating f*ck all for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Watkins is the least to blame for our defeat today, the fault is with the players behind him that couldn't string more than a few passes together, let Palace win every second ball, and kept wasting possession with long floated balls. Also feel Buendia and Ramsey should have come on much earlier. If it wasn't for Watkins we wouldn't even have a point. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Don't think we need get rid, I'd rather we sign a prolific striker to help him compete with places. Ings, Watkins and a new striker can rotate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball was slow and Ollie had to literally wait for it to catch up to him. People are in here acting like it was a 1v1 versus the keeper. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well to get himself onside but you'd expect better in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
