Key Points of the Weekend

Is Ollie Watkins back to his best

Ollie Watkins has had a tough season so far as he hasn't been in the same goal scoring form he's been in for the last two seasons.

But he appears to have rediscovered that goal scoring touch in recent games after scoring 4 goals in his last 3 games.

Is he back to his best?

He only scored just once in the opening three months of the season where his confidence will have been pretty low as he wasn't scoring.

He appears to have got his confidence back with the form he's in at the moment and he'll no doubt want to keep it up, especially with the World Cup coming up at the end of the season.

He's been Harry Kane's back up striker for the last two seasons but his place in the squad has been under threat this season due to poor form which led him to being dropped from the squad back in November.

If he can keep up the current form he's in between now and the end of the season, he'll definitely be in the World Cup squad. But he will face a battle with Dominic Calvert-Lewin who has put himself back in contention with the form he's in.

A case of be careful what you for for West Ham

I asked earlier in the season if people were saying this very phrase when David Moyes left West Ham nearly two seasons ago as the majority of their fans wanted him out in the lead up to his departure.

If they did, they've been proven right as West Ham as a club have lost their way since Moyes left in that they haven't had a clear identity in how they play and their recruitment and decisions made behind the scenes have been poor.

The majority of West Ham fans wanted Moyes out because they wanted to see a different and more exciting brand of football than his pragmatic way of playing.

But their style of play since has been anything but exciting as they haven't had an identity in the way they played since he left as I mentioned earlier.

Their lack of identity is one of the reasons why they're in a relegation fight this season as a lot of their performances have been poor and lifeless including the one they put in against Wolves on Saturday.

Moyes had a say in everything when he was in charge including recruitment which has been terrible ever since he left as hardly any of their signings have improved the team.

His style of football might not have been pretty to watch, but under him the Hammers were far more competitive and had some of the best days in their history including that night in Prague when they won the Europa Conference League.

It did feel at the time that it was time for him to move on as the Hammers were beginning to stagnate. But the fans should've thought who they could get in to do a better job than Moyes.

Keith Andrews is a manager of the season contender

A lot of people had Brentford down to struggle this season after losing a few key personnel in summer including manager Thomas Frank.

Keith Andrews had big shoes to fill when he came in to replace Frank in what was his first managerial role after previously being the set piece coach.

He also probably had a lot of doubters because of his lack of managerial experience and the fact that the Bees lost their two best players in Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in the summer.

But he has since silenced his doubters as the Bees again have one of the best home records in the league, have beaten both Man United and Liverpool and are currently 7th in the league and four points off the top four.

He deserves a huge amount of credit for the job he's done since taking over from Thomas Frank and he has to be a contender for manager of the season because of how well he's done.

Amorim got himself sacked

Man United sacked Ruben Amorim this morning and it was his comments from his post-match interview following Man United's 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday that got him the sack.

In his post-match interview, Amorim said that he came to Man United "to be the manager, not the head coach" which he said at least twice.

That line was no doubt directed at the board because he's frustrated with not having enough control or as much control as he thought he would be getting when he was appointed.

He hinted prior to the Leeds game that there were were issues behind the scenes by saying that he "has the feeling if we have to play the perfect 3-4-3, we need to spend a lot of money and we need time" before later saying that "I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen".

This was another dig at the board which suggested that he wasn't going to be backed to bring in new players in January or even have a say in transfers.

When any manager talks about his club's own hierarchy like this, it only leads to one decision in the manager being sacked as it has proved on two occasions this season when Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked by Nottingham Forest and when Enzo Maresca left Chelsea.

Both managers talked their relationship with their club's own hierarchy in press conferences days before they were dismissed with Nuno saying that him and the Forest owner were "not close" and Maresca saying that "the previous 48 hours were his worst at the club".

Amorim has done the same here and has met the same fate as both Nuno and Maresca.
