Kind of looks like he stumbled on the ball and accidentally pushed it to Mcginn. I don't think it was his plan when he got the ball but after the stumble he meant to give it to McGinn. However when he got the ball it looked as though he was planning to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be almost certain any time one of our forward players gets the ball in that position they eye up a shot and then reassess if it’s not right or they stumble etc - much better than still trying to make the shot work.

Popular Post Keyblade Posted November 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2021 He was planning to shoot, but when he stumbled, he quickly changed his mind. On the replay he clearly lays it off, he does a little stab at the ball while he's stumbling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, watching it real time I thought he took a poor touch ala Bailey setting up Ramsey but on the replays he definitely meant it as a lay off, he's stumbling and it's caught under his feet but he gets it off to mcginn and it ends up a good assist Was a great move and goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he did well to spot SJM and lay the ball off that well weighted after messing up his own shooting opportunity. Certainly nothing accidental about the assist itself.

Very good movement for our goal, great one two with Buendia. I’ve liked the impact of El Ghazi off the bench last two games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I was more relieved he decided to lay it off instead of shooting like he normally does. The 1-2 with Buendia was great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I think we need him back, always look more dangerous with him in the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 5 hours ago, commander said: I think we need him back, always look more dangerous with him in the team. I actually think we'll sell him next month. A few thought he might get regular games under Gerrard due to possibly suiting the formation but he's barely played last two months and Young has been regularly picked ahead of him. If we don't loan him out it makes sense to give JPB a few games near end of season as we did with Carney last 5 games last season and AEG still being around would stall things in that area.

M_Afro Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Sadly I just don’t think he is good enough. He seems to have many of the required attributes but rarely manages to use them all at the same time! I can see Smith being interested in him, Davis and Hause.

jacketspuds Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Now that Traore is fit, and Bailey hopefully will be soon, I can’t see El Ghazi getting much game time at all. He’d probably be 4th or even 5th choice when he needs to be playing every week at this point in his career. I’d sell him and reinvest in other areas of the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) The playoff final was on of the the sky channels today. I don’t care it came of his back, I spent the weekend in London with my son and because I was there with my boy it was the greatest sporting moment of my life. The guy may not have a future here but he provided me with a moment I’ll never forget . Edited December 29, 2021 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) So a getting up to speed Traore and Trezeguet both ahead of him today. When Gerrard said the other week there were a few players who weren't quite buying in to or up to speed (can't remember exactly how he worded it) with what he wanted to do, starting to think one was AEG. Unless of course, he's being kept fresh for when the other two are at the ACON. Edited January 2, 2022 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
