Completely wasted the opportunity against tired legs. I do like El Ghazi but he's another in a long line of inconsistent players we have fielded.

peterw Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think he, with one or two others, are players that Smith feel have let us down this season. He should have come on more and the only thing going in his favour is his age. I'd keep him for the Championship where he can stretch teams and even shoot more; but if we were to stay up i'd be less inclined to keep him.

He was good last season with us down at that level and I am sure he would be again. I think he may improve with the PL experience he has gained and may be interesting to see what he is made of in this league under a better Head Coach?

peterw Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 can't have it both ways. If the coach was good enough for him last season not sure why he'd be the problem this season? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Imo he is weak psychologically. I don't think he believes in himself. That's why he tries to do too much and ends up looking silly. If he simplified his game he'd be much more effective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the lad has any sort of stomach for a fight whatsoever. A shame because he undoubtedly has technical ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I agree with both points above. it looks like he has lost a lot of belief and very rarely runs at players. Which is why I'd keep Trezeguet ahead of him if we did stay up because we clearly not some pace in the team and definitely out wide. He was never shit off a shovel fast in the Championship but at least he stretch his, and the opposition defender's legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Gutless. Take a look at Benrahma, and see what we could have had. Move him out ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I thought his best games this season were when he filled in up front and that just makes me think he’s more a ‘forward’ (not a striker of course) than a winger. I still think there’s plenty of potential there but he’s been way below par since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Benrahma will be great in the Premier League and wish we had signed him but we still have to see how he copes with that step up. Be interesting to see how he does if Brentford come up or if (I assume) someone snaps him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Never been a fan of AEG. Pouting, akward and just bang average. But he is however more than adequate for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Very inconsistent. I think it might time for both parties to go their seperate ways come the summer. I will wish him well his goal helped bring us up at Wembley. No hard feelings from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want him anywhere near our team regardless of the division we’re in next season. I thought he was useless last season and has been woeful for us in the premier league. He’s a training ground player. A fancy dan. He’s the furthest thing from what we need right now. Should not be starting for us. Should not even be considered for a position in the squad such is his lack of application on the pitch. F*** off. Lacks the necessary level of aggression, to make it work.....far too inconsistent and sulky.....doesn't work his full back enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterw Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 he was excellent at the tail end of last season so he got his contract on the back of that. I wouldn't be too critical because of his age and it may have been a tougher step up than he thought. he needs a good pre-season behind him, and if we go down which is likely he needs to be reminded that he may have just lost his big chance. Ultimately its down to him, but similarly this is where the coaching staff need to know how to get the best out of him - it's not always about ability as man management is a massive part of any successful coaches armoury.

ChinlessWonder Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 He doesn’t lack effort and he did score one in the play off final but after 2 years of mostly shit I’d like to see us offload and get someone else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
