I'll give you that about Watkins, but I stand by what I say about Toney.

Watkins is fine but I would say Solanke is better than Toney
I wouldn’t have taken Toney. Rashford is fine as a 3rd choice and you can also use Bellingham as a false 9 too. I’d have bought another wide/attacking player instead, either Bowen or Palmer.
Surprised MGW didn’t make it seeing the numbers he still put up being in a poor Forest team.
The squad would have looked stronger on paper with Palmer, Gibbs-White, Wharton, Hall and Maguire instead of Toney, Eze, Henderson, Livramento and Burn. But we have to trust that Tuchel knows what he is doing and has his reasons.
Yeah I would have had Toney out too although can't say I've really followed him while he's been in Saudi. Maybe have Gordon as an extra option through the middle and take Palmer.
I thought Toney looked half a yard off it tonight..
Yeah. He was poor. A bit too eager to impress I think.
Watkins when he's broken through at every club he's played for... Exeter, Brentford and villa he's played initially on the LHS of the striker and played it v well ...tbh I'm surprised tuchel hasn't used him there.. would have made sense and wouldn't have needed 2 pic 2 left sided players.ie rashford and Gordon
Maybe Or the pace and level was a little to much for him after playing in a championship/league 1 standard league.
I'm a fan of women refs ...noticed it before.. the players treat them with much more respect than they do men..
Well male refs have been incompetent AF for decades, may as well see what the women can do.
She was a good ref too. Kept the match flowing as much as possible.
Much easier in a friendly played at snail pace though.
At some point there is every chance a game goes to penalties and you bring Toney on to take one, that's all he is there for I think.
22/1 on England not getting through group stages.
I saw a women ref a prem game.. same thing happened the players were amazingly respectful, no nastyness,none of the usual in the face rants... it was absolutely refreshing.
We’ve done this every time for like the last four tournaments. People can waste their money if they want.
We’re an at minimum quarter final team and from there it’s a whole lot of circumstance and luck from every team.
Rashford cannot play as a centre forward.poor at holding the ball up. Toney is very underrated . He is a very good player . He’s in Saudi but plenty of those players were in the last euros and did well.
If you want a big centre forward he is as good a deputy to Kane as we can get. He will get minutes. We will be using 5 subs every game .
