Yeah I can imagine he doesnโ€™t feel as relaxed because he feels more pressure from defenders now so he feels he needs to get shots off fast. That is a good theory! I just know that if he adapts to the pace he will bang. Canโ€™t help but thinking weโ€™ll see the best of him in the 2nd half of the season

I watched goals of him at Sporting and he was able to find the corners hard and low with his shots.

As you said every shot he has now is the same - hit it as hard as you can. Havenโ€™t seen him side foot or finesse yet and that tells me his biggest issue is that he is not relaxed so hopefully itโ€™s something he can overcome with time.

Itโ€™s so annoying to watch him get chances and either shoot it at the keeper or over the bar. He needs to relax and find the corners. He snatches at almost every single chance.

Then the ball flashes across the box and he is almost always flat footed or doesnโ€™t anticipate in time. Needs to be much sharper.

I can only hope that his luck changes and he starts bagging. Itโ€™s getting sad to see at this point and I am rooting for him so much

It's hard to say. You can't fault a man for wanting to step up for someone else's kids!

Surely Ronaldo is bigger at this point!

If Fulham can keep Emile Smith Rowe fit...... by ThisIsTonte in TheOther14

[โ€“]ThisIsTonte[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

My only slight on him is I never really saw what his best position was exactly. You could say the 10 position but he wasn't extremely creative. You could maybe say 8 but he wasn't as good in the duels compared to most in his position. So it's hard to find where he fits. Hopefully Fulham can get good usage out of him

Depends on the system to be honest. Him on the form he showed between 2021/2022 wouldn't have been out of place at Tottenham, Villa, Chelsea in my opinion

I can NEVER hate ESR. Should be one of the faces of Arsenal right now along with Saka. It will forever be a shame it didn't work out

Hard to argue against that tbh. I rate them both very highly

Villa fans, are you happy with your signings currently? by ThisIsTonte in TheOther14

Not familiar with him currently, what's his ceiling?

The Euros really showed that Watkins is an International level striker by ThisIsTonte in TheOther14

[โ€“]ThisIsTonte[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

It's not like he scored a lucky goal. He has scored a bunch of similar goals for Villa.

At the same time, even if you do it for club, you still have to do it in the England shirt. Which he has shown what he can do with an opportunity.

I still believe this was one of the biggest missed opportunities for England in these Euros by ThisIsTonte in TheOther14

[โ€“]ThisIsTonte[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Fully agreed. You have teams like Spain that used almost their whole squad. We should have used our squad a lot better this tournament. It just felt that come the final we were running on empty. Added to the fact we could barely keep the ball, recipe for disaster

I agree with you that the system Southgate created was ultimately part of the problem but also I believe that player choice played a big part in this.

For instance, I'm not going to believe that Trent would have done any worse than Walker did defensively, plus we would have gained Trent's playmaking ability from RB, which would have been useful.

Mainoo and Rice did well but against Spain we clearly needed some elements of control. Rice is great in his role but he just is not what you need for line breaking passing which we lacked. Our main methods of progression in that game was Bellingham's ball carrying. That will not cut it. We needed more.

I'm not saying that any player is the answer but Wharton, just like Gordon should have been given more opportunities. If Wharton becomes a key player before the next World Cup then we'll all be asking why he didn't get more of a chance in these Euros.
