gwi1890 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Brilliant in that Everton game, that performance always sticks in my mind , despite Trezuget’s goals none of his performances do 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I actually forgot he was still with us. Can't even make the bench ahead of the woeful Hassan. He must be horrendous in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I still think he'd offer more than Hourihane does in the middle (set pieces aside). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has some skills and good passing, just his pace is lacking so on the wings no good but you place in the middle of the field and who knows. It's the ole play to a players strengths vibe again and we don't do it, then they fail or we see it in our eyes as they have. We let talent go and they do ace elsewhere, obviously were missing the idea still that they might fit in other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Probably should have featured more but I guess it's easier to drop the £2m man than the £10m white elephant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main frustration with the likes of Trezeguet is how cheaply he loses the ball - sure he runs quicker than Jota...just unfortunate it's normally straight into the opposition. Ball retention is towards the top of my long list of things we need to do far better. Yeah, it's sad he hasn't been given a few more opportunities.

Think he might be useful as a sort of forward pivot in the 10 spot where he wouldn't have to beat wingers/fullbacks for pace. Of course, the trouble lately is actually getting the ball to anyone in an attacking position in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the Leicester goal, Hassan hes been pretty damn rubbish. Jota has quality ( just no pace or strength) but if we changed our shape there could be room for him.

Zatman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 He has nothing physical but we might keep the ball better with him in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I wouldn't start him, but if we are chasing a game against a team defending in their box he might find that killer ball to unlock their defense. Games like bournemouth or Southampton for instance. But it seems we won't have many more games like that, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 With so many games coming up games will be played at a slower pace. This might actually suit a player like Jota. He isnt physically capable but has good technical ability 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 He's just not premier league standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's technically good but not the quickest, hopefully he can do the business when called upon. One thing from seeing a little of the Bundesliga early on it did seem to have a training ground and slower feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in those conditions anyone this can pick out a players run with a diagonal throughball is going to be an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 He had a sports hernia and has since had surgery and hopefully recovered from it. I really hope this means he is a bit quicker and stronger because I imagine it was pure agony for him to play football for a while. If he is back to the jota at Brentford he could be really brilliant off the bench were his lack of speed won't be so worrisome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
