Nice, with fans out of stadiums their direct interactions with fans are going to be limited. So, one dickhead in such a situation could cause relatively more harm than normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It feels like every game we have one or two deep free kicks/corners where he just drifts alone at the back with no one marking it and we've gotten a few goals from that. Will teams eventually figure it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has good ability to ghost his way into good positions away from defenders Trez is never going to be a world beater but works his socks off, is a goal threat, and is clever with a pass. Some of us saw it a year ago.

PieFacE Posted October 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'll be the first to admit I didn't think Trez was going to cut it in the PL. He looked like he was struggling to play for longer than 45 minutes at times last season, and looked like he had bad decision making and poor end product. However, I'm glad the club didn't write him off like I did. Post lockdown he's been really excellent and has improved in all areas. Looks a hell of a lot fitter now and has seemingly a good connection with Watkins. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 He is turning into a good squad player. I am hoping that Traore will be an upgrade but happy that Trez is around as an option. Certainly works hard - AEG could learn from him in that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm awfully sorry for giving him stick. Slowly turning into one of my favorite players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Never in a million years would have expected that performance from him given how he was pre-lockdown. His decision making is still a little iffy (like that 3 on 2 in the first half with Ross and Jack in space and he just did his trademark roll/shot to the keeper), but man technically he's come on leaps and bounds. You could just tell last season that the jump from the Turkish league was gigantic and he was struggling to get up to pace. I imagine it takes a season or so to get used to how much time you really have on the ball in this league. Now his touch, crossing and awareness are so much better. Genuine threat. Traore would need to play a blinder to get him out of the team now. Anwar needs to pay attention too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'll hold my hands up and admit I never thought he'd make it here. Doubted him even after the restart. He was better then but I still thought that it wasn't enough. Now he gets better and better. Still an enigma and makes some really strange decisions. Everyone's mentioned the cross for the goal and the cross and pass to Watkins misses, but he also crossed the ball nicely for Jack one time which I think lead to one of Barkley's chances. But he also made an error when Mings were on the run. Trez passed the ball too late and to exactly no one. But that's just him. I have a feeling that he's slowly learned that he can't be the player he was in the turkish league and has adapted more to the PL. And he works hard and you can tell that he really wants to be good. Sometimes almost trying too hard. All in all, as long as he keeps improving like this I'm happy to see him in the starting line up. If nothing happens he should be in it against leicester.

icouldtelltheworld Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Looks a completely different player to the one who joined us last year. Deserves huge credit for the hard work he has clearly put in - not the most technically gifted but really seems to get the most out of his talent. I've become a real fan of his effort and endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
