bose Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 As a squad player I definitely don’t mind him. Wont be near the starting 11 this season but will hopefully continue to contribute from the bench. Sometimes he has look on his face like has just no clue what’s going on, like he just woke up from a coma. Throw him on when we have nothing to lose.

Hopefully he is not an automatic starter for the rest of the season now. As it stands Traore will start ahead of him. I'll be eternally thankful to him for his goals last season, but other than attacking the back post on set pieces he's utterly useless. Shame that el Ghazi is just as bad if not worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He wasn’t a premier league player in July and he isn’t in September. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I don't really get the reactions on here tonight. I actually thought Trezeguet had a good game in terms of his work ethic. He covered a lot of ground and got back to cover Cash. We all know that he's a weak link in the side which is why Traore has been brought in. But as a squad player or an impact player from the bench he is more than adequate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Laughable, Chimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Was poor enough tonight. Belter of a cross for Ollie after about 60 minutes though. Useful squad player. Good for the odd goal. Looking forward to Traore coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a squad player or an impact player from the bench he is more than adequate. he does have excellent work ethic, which is something i see rarely or never in El Ghazi, so trez wins that area. however, the guy is also our right winger/IF, and too often he offers nothing going forward. i agree for where we are right now, he would be an ok squad player, so basically he needs to be a bench/impact player, which he isnt yet, but both trez and el ghazi need to be squad players (at least until either show they can offer more). Hopefully Traore will offer more going forward, thus allowing Jack some more freedom when teams realise the name of the game isnt "just nobble jack and villa are done", we need a threat down both wings and currently we dont have that. (although cash looked good down the right on his debut) i will be interested to see the targett/grealish and traore/cash wing plays (unless grealish moves central) Edited September 21, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thought he played decent and will be a great sub but im to excited to see traore to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and backed up by Chimp's stats you cant really argue against the fact he had a decent game. However, it was far from exceptional and left plenty of room for improvement. He had a couple of decent first touches, but then didn't produce anything at the end of it. Not the worst player on the pitch, but nothing to suggest he has completely turned the corner. I'd argue he keeps his spot for the next match, especially if Traore is still short on minutes, but glad to have competition for his position and hope Traore is good enough to make the position his.

samjp26 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He easily looked like one of our best players before they changed shape following the red card. He works hard, he clearly has skill with a ball at his feet, honestly can't knock him for tonight. Definitely one to keep in the squad and he can make a difference coming of the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 He will be great to bring on in games from 60th/70th minute to see out games. A good player to have attacking tired defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxahunter Posted September 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2020 How he ended up playing the whole match, I can't understand...Like other have said, he offers nothing going forward and not really the player you want to have on the pitch when Sheffield United occied the penalty area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not endless backpassing or hoofing it into the box for Sheffields players to head it away again. We kept on trying exactly the same things throughout the match, things that didnt work.

So the same as Trezeguet... El Ghazi can create something, even thou I rate Trez over him due to the defensive contribution. Yesterday, we should have subbed him in to make something happen.

Delphinho123 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 You could toss a coin when deciding whether to play El Ghazi or Trezeguet. It really doesn't matter who starts and they both seem incapable of playing well for 90 minutes. If either of these players are starting in October, we will have failed badly in the transfer market. Can't wait to see the back of both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
