I love to see a determined AEG on the wing but I’m afraid he seems to has lost his way with us and seeing him in full flight is now rare sounds painful *Kenneth Williams Gif* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 How many out and out right-footed right wingers are there in football now? I feel like the game has progressed to a point where inverted wingers are most effective, and I think he's played most of his career before last year on the left. We're asking him to a classic 4-4-2 right winger trying to beat his fullback and put a cross in for the striker where his game is really more suited to cutting in from the left and crossing an in-swinger or getting a shot off on goal. I imagine if Traore comes in, he'll become rotation for Rashica whereas Trez who plays better on the right will be Traore's competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a move if anything to save his career. Spanish football will suit him as it's slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This is the review on Ghazi and I must say it seem like more of the same and it's a shame but I do not think hes got what it takes to be a premier footballer: A quiet night for the Dutchman who looks set for more cup outings than Premier League starts this season given the impending arrival of Bertrand Traore. Didn't get involved enough at Burton, though, despite swapping wings with Grealish in the second half. Winger was on set piece duty throughout but, overall, was lacklustre.

sidcow Posted September 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I like him, seems a chirpy pleasant character but he's way out of his depth at this level. In truth he only played well in about 10 Championship games, I'm not even sure he's more than a squad player at Championship level. If we can get rid I wouldn't blink.

Wainy316 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I’ll always have a place for him because of the Wembley goal but I think he’s hit his ceiling for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I honestly think he's mid table championship level. A completely nothing player at prem level. For all trez's issues last season, at least trez works his ass off.

El-Reacho Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 El Ghazi is a prime example of the disparity in quality in our squad: the difference in quality between him and Jack is massive, same as Lansbury playing alongside Luiz, and to a slightly lesser extent Hause and Mings.

MotoMkali Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think the issue is when we play jack on the left the ball very rarely comes to him and it is hard to get in the game and find your rhythm. And once the first pass comes to him and he isn't ready it pings off and it just goes down hill from there. I think if we were finding him earlier in the game he would look a lot better. Like when we played Liverpool away after restart he looked dour best player for 3p minutes until him and Trez switched sides and he stopped getting the ball for 5-10 minutes and then he did nothing the rest of the game. I think it is the same with a lot of players especially wingers if you don't go to them early they can't get in the game and they lose their mojo. And once you are feeling like crap your motivation goes and your running and movement stops, including defensive work. Again the Liverpool game el ghazi was great defensively until they brought on firminho and the like and as we gradually lost more and more possession el ghazi loomed worse and worse defensively. I hope we figure out how to get the best out of him soon because if he could get his confidence back he could be a very good player in my opinion. He can beat a man (although really only one at a time) he has a good shot with both feet and is a good crosser and he is very good at finding space in the box and getting on the end of loose balls (but again he seems unprepared for them even though he regularly gets them).

Jas10 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It’s a shame, he looked good and endeared himself to the fans while in the Championship (and was brilliant in the POF) but has barely put in a performance since we were promoted. He has ability but we rarely ever see it, scored a super goal against WBA & has scored some stunners for Ajax when he was younger. He won’t get a look in with the signings we are looking to make and will either be sold or quickly have to raise his game (and attitude) substantially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He seems to have lost his confidence. The problem is he does not really work hard when things are not going well. I think it’s a good time to move him on. He’s given us some great moments but we need better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I would be ok either way, if he stays as a squad player then he’s welcomed. If he got us a good amount of money such as 6-8m, I would welcome that too. Will always remember his goal at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he looks half the player he was with us in the championship. Handy to keep for Cup games and squad depth etc. although I wouldn't be too disappointed if he was moved on either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goal and the eruption of emotion it created will never be forgotten, partially forgetting the pain of the previous year and the feeling we could be on the way back with Wembley rocking to a deafening rendition of Allez Alllez as the half time whistle blew.

Yes I think confidence is certainly the issue because he definitely has the ability to be a PL player in my view. I think he really struggles with mental side though. To be charitable maybe fitness was an issue last night but to see him not go past a man once and have zero impact against a league one team really highlights where he is now vs Championship season and Play off final especially. If Traore and Rashica come with Jack, Trez he’s going to be 5th choice at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at the same level as he was in the championship, the issue is that the teams we are playing are much better now and that's why he's out of his depth. He's not good enough to be a premier league player IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
