Zatman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Has stepped up in recent weeks. Is on for minimum 10 goals and 10 assists for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He had a good game tonight and he often looks so comfortable on the ball. This is what we need to see him doing more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Something strange with him. He's the most player that I get afraid when he gets possession. Yet he's the most one that could get a goal somehow. When he past by players he's dangerous, but doing that it's more riskier from him than any other player.

villalad21 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Bit surprised how easily he's taken to the Premier League. 3 goals and 3 assist in 12 games. 1 in 2. Very solid numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got the attributes and can finish. He’s a bit of a liability playing wide in a 3, he doesn’t track back well enough and doesn’t do enough going forward to make up for it either. Just like to bring this post up. He played as an inside forward last night, and get into central areas more often than not. It seemed to suit him.

villalad21 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Love the idea of him playing as a CF. Only problem is we're really short of wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Surely it's only a matter of time before he gets a call up to the Netherlands squad again given how he's taken to the PL, particularly when Ryan Babel's still getting a look in. If he keeps scoring and assisting I'm sure they'll have a look at him in the next round of friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Considering his age and how is constantly improving. Another bargain really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be far off being a starter in the Holland squad let alone being called up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 To think he was getting a lot of stick on here a few thinks ago. He has contributed to 30% of our league goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Could easily see him getting double figures by the end of the season. Might also be an option to consider him up front at times as some people have suggested, particularly as Wesley continues to struggle for goals. He's got the pace to get in behind defenders and is relatively strong for a winger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this system goals will come from everywhere. Edited November 26, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if DS changes anything if Wesley continues to struggle in front of goal, Kodjia certainly ain't the answer at this level and while I like Davis I trust him in front of goal even less than I do Wesley. AEG could be a temporary solution up to January if he can adapt to that position given he has good movement and can finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK your post is stupid. Yes he could be a striker and would probably be quite good at it (has 2 goals and 3 assist in 7 games). However el ghazi has made great strides defensively lately against Newcastle maximin had 2 players on him at all times except for when Newcastle were countering. On top of that he got a goal and has got 3 goals and 3 assists in 12 games. On top if that mcginn and grealish could have easily played him in 3 or 4 times but waited too long and the chance passed. The reason we should have had 5 or 6 goals is because el ghazi should have had 4 if mcginn and grealish played him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'm a bit worried a big club will swoop in and buy him in the summer as he will probably finish with 8+ goals and assists and is still young. He contributes so much to our goals that it is unbelievable that some people say he doesn't offer enough going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to start your post with ‘ok your post is stupid’ - it’s not Twitter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
