AVFCDAN Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I would probably give him a chance just based on scoring that penalty to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted December 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2020 There is absolutely no defence for fans sending abusive texts to players. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism on a fans forum....but abuse, NO. We have a football manager who picks the team.....if players are not doing the business, its his call, not ours......sure we can make comments, but thats all it should be. All players want to do well.....and there is an abundance of reasons, why they struggle.....its wrong to personally abuse them.....on the internet or in the ground during a game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he only scored a penalty, but in reality he won us 3 points and earned a shot in the starting line-up. Will also keep Traore on his toes knowing he has to do more too. Oh yeah Ghazi won us the three points by himself, it's got nothing to do with McGinn doing most of the work in making that run that led upto the penalty. Ghazi scored great, he had to put the ball in the net under some pressure fantastic but he did not win us the three points on his own, the whole team that played 90+ mins enough to see it nearly a draw did that. If Ghazi can get some confidence that will set him on fire like he were in the championship then that is absolutely brilliant, but let's not get carried away. If Ghazi doesnt make this happen on his next few games when hes given another chance by Smith, if it leads us to playing worse on the field how many of you are going to keep taking his side that hes first team capable. I do wish we could get off this a talk of abuse that happened way back when we played stoke, it is side tracking from what the real topic which should be about which is Ghazi as a player in the first team and nothing else. I have yet to see enough of a performance from Ghazi to Warrent a first team start. When I see Smith digging that deep, i get the feeling that Smith feels desperate to find someone who can make that right flank work properly a quarter good as Grealish. We will not find that in Ghazi or Trezegeut and time will tell on Traore (I've seen a fair bit of nice trickery from the lad), but we have to have patience there on him. I just feel time is running out on Ghazi and Trez, that if they do not pull there socks up that come summer and the Owners dig deep again Trez or Ghazi will be sold and I've a feeling and I know I would rather keep Trezegeut on board. If those two lads are going to do something then they have to start soon, if they continue on this way till end of the season I do not see any point in keeping them here for a third (Ghazi a 4th).

a-k Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Traore, who other than a moment or two did absolutely nothing v Wolves, has played more than a half of football only twice for us in the league. I'm not writing Traore off, but with Trez is out for the time being, I'm sure we could do much worse than giving AEG a shot when we've got games coming thick and fast.

One For The Road Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It must be a record. It surely MUST be a record. How many chances does he need to score a goal from open play? Lovely guy, instrumental in our win at Wembley but what on earth is going on with his shooting in the Premier League? Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
