screwdriver Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 He was great 1st half some good old fashioned wing play, couple of good cross's and a shot that loris spilled but I don't remember him doing much after the break. and sods law when hot n cold Gazi is luke warm and gets subbed the replacement hot and cold winger is sub zero!

He was ok first half, not great. Missed another clear cut chance to score. This guy really frustrates me. Looks good in flashes. Has talent, but decision making and teamwork let him down. Also goes missing when the going gets tough. Edited February 17, 2020 by Philosopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right thought you meant first half. Yes was a decent chance, either side it's a goal. We did actually score two minutes later so not as crucial a miss as the sitters we had first half.

They kept getting in with almost every ball over the top or in behind, atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the physical attributes to make it but mentally he is not there yet. He could start by actually putting in a shift every week. He is so lazy at times it drives me mental. Jack is three times the player AEG will ever be and he still works 10 times as hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Put us in the shit early on with one of his typical panic passes, but apart from that was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Seems fair to mention amongst all this talk of missed opportunities etc that he gave us the first goal. Beat his man well, great run and pinpoint cross. If not an own goal, Samatta has it on a plate. The squad isn’t over endowed with ability like this and I wonder who his doubters would replace him with on that wing.

omariqy Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I wouldn't call it a clear cut chance. It was a good chance but on his wrong foot at an awkward height. He has missed worse than that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mean to belittle his contribution, I really like him... but the ‘pin point cross’ was actually a huge deflection off their fullback.

Yeah it was, angle on the TV replays doesn’t show it but angle I was sat at it ballooned off their full back. Great play still by El Ghazi for the goal though.

imavillan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 His overall contribution is poor and his defensive qualities are zero. Yet i like him, but We are in a relegation scrap and he is a luxury that needs to be sacrificed. For the final 12 games we need a lot more than he offers and i would not play any wingers in the last 12 games. We need scrappers, players who can roll their sleeves up and dig in and he is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that his overall contribution is fairly poor, especially over the course of the season, but right now I think he has to play. He's a better footballer than Trezeguet and we don't have any other options. I can see him being dropped when McGinn is back as I quite like the idea of McGinn and Grealish playing just behind Samatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 He had a much better game against Spurs than he has for a while. With someone who is clearly sensitive, dropping him now would be absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the one that was behind him that he had to hit on the half volley because it was basically knee height? Most players would have shanked that. Hardly a clear cut chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
