The Ollie Watkins Thread

[Silhillvilla]

Every year England are sensational in the qualifiers or friendly games, then come the real games they choke. This summer will be no different

Bellingham is a excellent talent, perhaps we should have tried to poach him a couple of years ago? He would have been well known among scouts. Now he's at Dortmund I'd say there's little to no chance of us signing him.

Don't think there is a cat in hells chance of Bellingham joining the Villa - about as likely as Gabby playing for Blues

Anyway back to Ollie.

Wonder if he will start against Albania ?

Great to see TBF, Mings feels like Villa through and through at times. Been so long since we've had players like that.

next season after the euros i can see call ups for Konsa and Cash . 5 Villa players in the squad potentially

I just can’t see Cash getting past Walker, Trippier, Reece James and Trent Alexander Arnold for a place in the squad. He’s decent but right back is one of the positions England are overflowing with good players. Targett is more likely to get a chance as there are only a couple of options at left back and Southgate has resorted to playing players out of position there previously

 

[Silhillvilla]

Maybe not for Cash then. I don't see Targett as an international player. Not quick enough.

So, Ollie gets 4 goals against Liverpool in a season. Wonder when that last happened.

Cracking goal today. Fully deserved.

Imagine what he would be like with proper support. He must be as frustrated as we are.

I don't think it was a cracking goal mate, it was a goal but he'll have better shots stopped , so he takes it and moves on

Great forward pass from McGinn. Ollie does a great swivel and gets his shot away. Cracking goal.

By the way, the last person to score 4 goals in a season against 'pool was Arshevin for Arsenal in 2009.

Ollie Watkins has created 38 chances from open play in the Premier League this season, no other striker throughout the league has more. Harry Kane is joint level with the Villa forward.

 

[The Fear]

You would never tell he is a) young b) making a big step up would you?

He has looked like he belongs, right from the get-go.

He has looked like he belongs, right from the get-go.

c) Just a really likeable lad.

His head has never ever once dropped despite being isolated for long periods over the las couple of months. Just keeps going.

And the thing is, he can still improve two fold. There are parts of his game he needs to work on like his loose control running with the ball - and I say that constructively. He seems the sort of guy you can provoke a bit of a reaction and he goes out to prove you wrong. Love that attitude
