It’s ok, we’ll just do a Pep and play Jed Steer as a false No.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Ollie in general, but he needs to be more of a threat....right now, I don't think he is. Has looked distracted this season, maybe Ings arrival has rattled him. He is a solid forward, hard working, better than Tammy who many here hold a candle for. I do think if we are playing the way Gerrard wants us to we don’t need a forward who has to be a tireless runner, we just need a finisher. Not sure Watkins has fully established that quality despite showing very good glimpses and being very versatile. He is an Arsenal fan and Arteta has them flying. If they flash the cash I can see this happening, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 There's no chance whatsoever that we'd even entertain the idea of selling him to Arsenal, he's been way better than Ings this season (hopefully that changes today), and has been our best and most important attacking player. Plus I'm pretty sure us selling another one of our better players is the last thing that Edens and Sawiris would want after only recently losing Grealish, they won't us to be seen as club that can't keep it's best players.

sheepyvillian Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 As hard working as Ollie is, that first touch is not always on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we didn’t sell our better players but if we get good money and improve then why not, let’s not kid ourselves we are not Real Madrid. We still have pull, plenty of spending power, and a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmygreaves Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Enormous Watkins shaped hole in the forward line evident today. His running, energy and desire would have invaluable. Brentford's defenders had a stroll this afternoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way, it was nice to not be frustrated by our striker making poor decisions, for our striker to have some link up play with our midfield.

We missed creativity but he doesn’t provide that. Ings pressed very well. I can’t see how you can say that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I think he would have tried to take a touch and over run the ball Buendia played for Ings goal , as much as I like Ollie it was nice see what Ings could do without him in the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about what he would’ve tried to do. Ings is such a quality finisher he made it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) This is the reality if we don't progress on last season. Our better players will start to leave. Watkins will push for a move if arsenal are in for him. Either we get to Europe or we have to sell. Edited January 2, 2022 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
