hope the corner routine is a regular thing. bunch them all together and have porro just whack it into congestion, that suits the likes of rich and romero to a T.
glad hes showing what he can offer in the striker role now. still dont think his service has been good enough from the wide areas.

It’ll be good when the flying goose gets more game time too
Happy for him. Finally finding his stride. Let's just hope he can be consistent for us and not a fluke. If he can bang in goals like this then we really have a chance at the league when son,sarr,boss comes back.
Porro completely stuffed up an an easy through ball to him too when richy made a great run and was wide open. Service to him was shocking today
Really please me for Richie! Gone through a lot and it’s nice to see him in this form! I doubt he will ever be a solid 20 goal a year striker (I’d struggle to name anyone other than Haaland, salah and Son who do this year after year) but at this rate he will finish the season with 15 and a few assists! More than enough IMO
Watkins hasn’t scored in 7 games. Very good chance Richy ends the season with more goals
Even without the goals, Richy has been amazing. The effort he puts in to come back and cause a turnover, then sprint straight back up to be an option/diversion is amazing. And I wasn't a fan of his at all at the start of the season.
You really don't see many strikers putting in that level of effort. Such a team player.

Outstanding today.
Best thing he did what get time off to get his body ( and mind ) , in order. He was everywhere today.
It's really great for him. Mental health issues are brutal, it was brave of him admitting it and lovely he has been helped by the club. Also it's blindingly clear just how much the injury hampered him.
Everyone is reaping the benefits now. His workrate is fantastic, I love seeing him chase back and ninja steal or do a great tackle winning the ball back. It sets the tone for everyone else.
He can score a lot more goals, but it's up to the others to give him more service.
His finishing from crosses seems to be his forte, he could perhaps work on ones where he is not having it crossed in.. possibly just overthinking things, as opposed to a cross it's instinct.
Super happy for him to be finding his form.. long may it continue.

Yeah I agree. As with Son last season you can now see how much better they are when these injuries are sorted. Makes me wonder why managers don’t say anything about players carrying an injury when they do have one. It would help get fans off their backs for one.
Agree. Watkins is a fraud. He played quite well against Everton in dragging the defence apart but did nothing to change the game. Good chance he will be sold in the summer.
Gabriel Jesus is just a Brazilian Karl Pilkington.
Mr Dilkington
Absolutely.
I can't wait to see how many chances he'll get with Madz back in MF pulling the strings. His hot streak has coincided a lot with our terrible injury record - very patched up MF and defence.
Without his goals we'd be way down the table. We've got I reckon 13 pts in the games he's scored in.
Did he have flu for the Burnley match? Was really out of sorts for that one. Real anomaly, really needed that Porro rocket otherwise we'd have faced a replay or worse
If they can get the amount they want for him.
Not sure who is giving them 50m for Watkins
There's no upwards move for him....... None of the trad. big clubs would buy him.
His biggest asset is that he works hard; but as a result he's so often found too wide or deep to be a regular threat.
Tbh I don't know that much about him except he tries to bully teams physically, has decent pace and is very wasteful with chances.
Went back to watch portions of last nights game and I do think it was his best overall performance.
Love seeing the guy happy, something very infectious about it.
