Being as quick as Mbappe would be good to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to prove himself all over again. Massively lacking in confidence sometimes. As we improve that will surely get worse as he gets stronger competition. If that is really the case we should sell him now because he’ll just repeat it and/or get worse. He’s 26 now, he needs to grow a thicker skin because he’ll face the same competition if he goes to the other clubs as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that aspect of his attitude or mental state has improved recently, he looks happier and when he scores and in general on the pitch, seems to celebrate more, points to the badge ect, I think Gerrard’s man management of him has been good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just can't be our main source of goals next season though. He’d be straight in the West Ham team - Antonio is 32 now and Watkins has outscored him consistently since coming into the Prem.

Delphinho123 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 All of the stories linking him away seem to suggest perhaps he is looking for a move. Don’t know why, I just get the feeling maybe he is pushing this? Could be completely wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Ings is rumoured to be on £30-40k a week more than him, his agent will almost definitely be pissing purslow off by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_a Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It's a shame we can't stick Ings and Ollie into the teleporter in the fly and combine the two. Save some wages too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The Athletic today has a long article where a group of players watch the CL final and chat. Ben Mee mentions Watkins as some kind of personal favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 First glance I thought a good stat for him but thinking about it and looking into it it’s ok but looks better at quick glance. Very few forward players have >70 appearances over that time for various reasons, a lot aren’t playing with out and out striker, and many other reasons plus 23 goals over two seasons is an average of 11.5 per season which even by any standard is at best….”ok” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets in good positions but does seem to miss as many as he puts away. Still, a very good return. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
