Watkins is clinical. amount of chances we create he would have buried a lot of them, he is 2nd top scorer in the league for a reason and would thrive with us. He also puts a hard shift in.

{Ed001's Note - he goes through long periods of being unable to hit the side of a barn mate. He is very hot and cold. Works hard and I do like him a lot, but he can be very wasteful too.}

Draw a game and start replacing members of the squad.

@bhav_reds said "Watkins was clinical". Now I know you don't watch Villa for sure. You also said, "he puts a shift in". Oh and Darwin is a lazy donkey? Are you for real? Watkins is a good player BUT he is just as wasteful as Haaland and Darwin (even tho Darwin is the better player, IMO) BUT if you are at Villa and you are English, nobody will care if you go 10 games w/ o scoring. Darwin gets battered cos he passed rather than shot even IF a goal came as a result for him passing it.

Watkins can hit the post 3 times and he will get rave reviews for his overall play cos well, English tax is a REAL thing. Heaven forbid, Darwin does that. It would be news for a week, which it was vs Chelsea. Darwin has more goals and assists in all comps. than Watkins YET Watkins is more clinical. Like I said, take the day off, man.

That's true Oli but foreigner bias is also a real thing. Wijnaldum was no more talented than Henderson but yet everyone seems to remember Gini as some scintillating Zidane style footballer and remember hendo as just a hard working dude who did the basics well.

Watkins might go a few games without scoring but then mane did that, Salah is currently doing it - but Watkins is the highest scoring English player without being fed 20 chances per game like Salah is.

If you put prime Torres in this team or prime even prime Salah in this team we win 5-0 against United. It's how we can tell Salah is well past his best because he is missing chances that 3 years ago he would have buried. He's also getting outpaced by players who aren't even considered quick. The majority of salahs goals now are pens or box finishes, so we should play to his strengths and move him into the middle as a late Ronaldo style poacher.

Nevada, I agree, bro BUT the Manes, Salahs and now Darwin used to get/ now get battered for it in the media whereas the likes of Watkins are left untouched and this is more prevalent when you play for England. As for Hendo, he was the target ever since Fergie got bitter and angry cos Hendo had the guts to reject him and join King Kenny at Liverpool and cos he was such a sore, pathetic loseer about it, he attacked Hendo in his book in the most despicable of ways and it got stuck on him. The Fergie part is a fact.

Also, you got to realise that Hendo got the armband from Gerrard and the anti Hendo fans along with the por-Gerrard fans did NOT think Hendo deserved it hence, he was targeted as well. This is just what I have observed over the years so there you go, mate.
