rodders0223 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 He's feeling the pressure. As we saw with Ings he ain't great at competition and really tightens up and snatches imo. Duran is absolutely pushing to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero7 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 He will be fine, he’s a top striker, every forward have their moments, still think his work rate was far higher than Durans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It’s more a frustration than a concern at this point. Confident he’ll be back to his best at some point but could really do without this. Still love him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins will get games and get back to goalscoring ways....but honestly he might get pushed out before he has a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Great that we are 6 out of 9 despite Ollie being woefully out of form. We'll need him to be back to his old self if we hope to keep it up (Kenneth) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Thank God we didn’t flog Duran. What’s Watkins xG this season? Missed a chance vs. West Ham where he just dribbled into Areola, missed two sitters vs. Arsenal and snatched at his 1:1 today. Obviously has a lot of credit in the bank coming off a phenomenal season, but if he doesn’t sort it out soon it’s going to cost us points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I prefer. And how many times has Watkins won the games for us, lets not start writing off our best player due to being a bit out of form. The work rate of Watkins and tracking back is incredible, just can;t see that in Durans game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you said to me before Duran came on that he would do nothing but score. I'd bite your arm off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need him to be back to his old self if we hope to keep it up (Kenneth) Pretty excited to think where we'll go once Ollie gets back in form. Not worried about him. He's still getting on the end of a bunch of top quality chances for himself every game despite not having a pre-season, it's just genuinely unfortunate that he hasn't scored at this point. Once the first goal hits they'll come pouring in. Note that he didn't score in his first 5 Prem games last season: that hardly stopped him once he got going...

mikeyp102 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Was the freekick where Onana scored intended for Ollie? Looks like it’s been given as his assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he’s not fit, Emery has said he’s not fit. He’s just not up to match fitness. That’s it. It’s nothing to do with his head being somewhere else ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it’s been given as his assist It didn’t look like he touched the ball though. And I also didn’t think it was intended for anyone in particular. Just Ramsey kicking across goal hoping someone catches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
