How do you know he has gotten away with it. Any disciplinary action should and would have been dealt with in private. Smith may have said something completely different to actually how it was handled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if we are going to play the 3-4-3, El Ghazi will have to figure out how to play right wing. Didn’t he play there against Norwich at home? He certainly finished the game there and was very poor as he has been for some time. I’d agree it’s his better position but it doesn’t seem to solve the inconsistency. That’s in his head I think.

I think we also need to accept that consistent strong performances from wingers cost more than £6m... so no doubt he does need to step up to keep developing. But I still like him an awful lot and think for his first season in the PL in a struggling team he’s doing ok. Look at his assist for Jack’s goal against United - his cross may actually have been aimed at Wesley but he had still gone the length of the pitch at Old Trafford to put it in! Maybe the fact he has been injured a couple of times putting in balls like that is also in his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was an option off the bench I'd be pretty happy, the problem is hes our starting winger so you expect a little more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 Would love a new winger to help lighten the load for him. He's inconsistent but there's a player there If we allow him the time to develop properly and don't get on his back whilst he's adapting and developing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Excellent 1st half once he got going and when he gets a bit of confidence he becomes a world beater. When a decent striker is signed he should be playing off him in a free role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Could be a very, very good player. Not that he is ever going to be as good as, but here's hoping, has a bit of Ronaldo about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 El Ghazi is one of our better players. He's inconsistent for sure but he makes things happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Laughable Chimp Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Think he's been another one that's gotten a lot of unfair flack tbh. Yes he's inconsistent but so are a lot of wingers. His goal and assist contribution is invaluable to us. Another thing, he's a guy you can tell from 10 minutes whether he's gonna be a nuisance or crap for the entire match.

Hobbit Feet Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He’s clearly a confidence player, great when things are going ok or his way but sulky when teams not performing or have a bad patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thought he was brilliant first half. It was strange watching a forward that has pace and skill to beat a player. They were scared of him. If we could train him to run the channels teach him to be stronger recieving the ball with his back to goal I think he could fill in nicely as a striker. Still want another proper striker but a forward three of Grealish, El Ghazi and Bowen could be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an inch shorter than Wes but only weighs 4 kgs less and look at the size of him. He is also heavier than mings and Hause. I think he needs a shot of confidence and I think playing striker is just the thing to do that. It says you are a great goal scorer and when you are playing well you are our 2nd most dangerous player. Also he absolutely left one of Tielemans after Luiz got turned. You could see from about 15 yards back el ghazi was going to take him out. Was a tactical foul and stopped a break. I want to know why we don't do it more when it is so effective.

abdomlahor Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 i love our anwar. wouldn't want to rely on him as a striker too often considering the amount of chances he tends to miss, but he's a nice option to have in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
