Ollie

Great news. Talking of stats since Emery has been in charge only Salah and Haarland has more goals and assists than Watkins. Also top points scorer on FPL.

Morning OZ. As I posted, he is indeed a fine forward. It was his miss ratio, especially when he has time to think, i.e. one-on-one % situations. I mentioned his hot streaks and his awfully long barren spells. His hit and hopes.

Those stats, based on chances, should read 20, 25, even maybe 30.

As I said, I like him and appreciate his work ethic.

I just don't see him as a clinical striker. He misses too much.

No, you’re actually spot on. My son was telling me that after the first five games Ollie was statistically the most wasteful striker in the prem under the ‘goals expected’ Under chances he should be a 20 goal a season striker. Still, he’s still maturing and could easily make that jump this season. Wouldn’t that be grand.

T'would be absolutely amazing, Oz.

I await in great anticipation for Ollie to graduate into a demon goal-getter.

His improvement under the current manager suggests that all is possible.
