Most definitely but it's also easier when 95% of your receiving passes ain't McGinn passing it from out third in Gerrard quarterback role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins should get the nod ahead ahead of those two, especially given the form he is in. Toney won't be available for selection either so there isn't much competition. I think Southgate rates him and will be more then happy to call him up over Wilson and Tammy. Its only Kane who is guaranteed a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scores 64 goals in total for Villa, 45 in the then First division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Ollie gaining towards some good players in the Villa history books. I’ve been critical of him in the past, but all credit his form at the moment is brilliant.

Watkins yes must be in the next squad Toney has now admitted most of the betting charges so I would be very surprised if he was selected in the next squad.

To be fair he was asked the question and he was never going to say No he’s not good enough when he is the man that coached him. Ask the VT’s if he is good enough for a top 5 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the rose tinted glasses off after reviewing the last couple of years, would you pay big money for him? He's in great form now with 6 in 7 games but looking at him over the last couple of years, you'd have to say no if you are honest with yourself. If he continues this form or close to this form that he has now that he's being coached properly then it's a different story and that maybe in the summer to review by clubs. I think clubs would want to see this form over a good stretch of time before blowing the money they would have to to buy from us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
