tomav84 Posted July 11 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11 14 minutes ago, Isa said: Dunno. That he could only match Benteke's best tally kinda makes you wonder how many Benteke would have banged in for this side. you have to factor in ollie's assists too (plus ollie's are all from open play, benteke scored 3 pens that season). ollie is by far the more complete centre forward IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The media do realise he was quality before he came the Euros yeah? They have never spoke so much about him, even though he wasn't far off top goal scorer last season. Just waiting for everyone to link him to a big 4 club.

Not to mention the gulf between the managers coaching them. It's not a slight on Watkins, more that Benteke was OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they're speaking more about him now - he's just scored the winning goal in a game almost the whole country is watching in a Euros semi final. You'd probably be equally as annoyed if he wasn't getting any praise 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 His emotion in the celebration is one of the best I've ever seen. It screamed of a lifetime of hard work and dedication paying off. What a goal. Shame he will be back on the bench in the Final. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 42 minutes ago, mjmooney said: Troy Deeney on Ollie Watkins: “He is a winger trying to be a striker — that’s just who he is.” I watched this podcast. It was on Peter Crouch. He actually said Ollie had never played striker until he came to Villa or was bought to Villa as a winger. How someone so wrong about everything can speak so confidently is unfathomable. True narcissist that prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
