sharkyvilla Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think the plan is to have Trez play for an hour then replace him with a fresh El Ghazi, but if he gets stupidly sent off before then we're buggered. Away from home I think I'd rather have Nakamba to make us more solid and allow Jack to play off Wes. Dean must have learnt something about whether he can rely on Trez and I suspect he won't be in the starting line up for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Hope Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 His work ethic is there to see for everyone and he was just naive today...perhaps trying too hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back, El Ghazi for Trezeguet would have been a great sub. I have concerns about Trezeguet. We’d four on yellows at half time. Plus making three changes at half time would be silly just because they are on yellow cards. They’ll have been told be Smith to be very careful in any challenge going forward in the game. Taking three players off and half time and using all your subs would be a very silly move for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 31, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2019 His suspension will hurt us. We're not blessed with wingers and I think we might be in for a change of formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Not because Trezeguet is a bad player, but it might be a blessing in disguise for us, especially if it forces us to bring in another midfielder and use Grealish further forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 He looked much better on the right. He's just useless with Taylor behind him. Has to do the work of 2 players when attacking on the left. I'd bring back Elmo and play him on the right and let Anwar make a fist of that left hand side against West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm think he's largely done alright for us to be honest - but he made a really poor decision today and, ultimately, it cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think el ghazi will slot in his place v West Ham - I do however feel we need to have options at switching things and getting nakamba into the team - maybe 4231 with jota or Grealish in a free role off Wesley . its ok playing with 2 wide men but only if they are effective - play 2 holding midfielders and push the full backs up more when attacking in some games away from home . 433 works for us in certain games but we need to adapt systems to suit opposition 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I like him he just needs time to settle as do quite a few of our players and this is what is costing us for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think he has been poor - no pace - and easily bundled off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Not sure what I think of him so far. His second yellow was so stupid today though, should know better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 He deserved his sending off, stupid 2nd yellow very naive from him he didn't need to clatter in like that. Still not sure what to think of this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Said he shouldn't start ahead of El Ghazi and Jota based on what I've seen so far. Don't know why he keeps getting picked to start. Very ordinary imo and had reservations from watching the highlight reels before he signed Edited September 1, 2019 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I just can't on any level understand how the second foul was a yellow. If anyone thinks that I want them to find what paragraphs in the rulebook of the FA that falls under. Secondly any referee has to be consistent about setting the bar in terms of what's a foul and what's not. If anyone thinks Friend got that right, they must have been on crack the entire match. There was one set of rules for us and one set of rules for Crystal Palace. The definition of what a horrible referee would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 There is a quality player in there somewhere, but I think that so far he has been our poorest signing that gets regular game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fuming with him way before the goal was struck off, he was booking our players for things then not even giving us free kicks when Palace did the same. How many fouls did their defensive mid give away before his booking, 6, 7? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2019 So far not convinced at all I'm afraid. We actually created more after he was sent off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
