villaslash Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Excited to have him back. Great attitude and though if everyone was fit we have a lot of players on the wing we seem to be a tad short right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Trezeguet is definitely the kind of player that Gerard will enjoy managing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gerrard likes his wide players to be technically gifted" So I'd have to disagree with you there 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Is he a bit Dirk Kuyt? Maybe Gerrard will find a use for him like Liverpool did with Dirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Dirk Kuyt kind of shout.....Trez at Left Back, defensively very good, great engine/work rate and provides a genuine attacking threat as part of Gerrards 4-3-3 formation/style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Trezeguet is a player with heart and work rate, and he has the hugely entertaining ability to be at the right place at the right time to score some crackers. But...I just don't think he has enough ability on the ball for where we're going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 7, 2021 11 hours ago, useless said: We've got too many wingers, Trezeguet, Traore, Buendia, El Ghazi, Bailey, Philogene-Bidace, people seem to forget it but Archer usually plays on the wing as well, even at U23 level, and now people are talking about Carney Chukwuemeka playing in one of the two positions just wide of the striker. Something has to give, if we're serious about Philogene-Bidace and Archer becoming first team squad members and getting game time, then a few from Trezeguet, Traore, Buendia, El Ghazi, Bailey, are going to have to be sold, otherwise they're blocking the path for our younger players. It's interesting that we bought and developed wingers to play wide under Dean Smith and we've now moving to a much narrower model which won't necessarily suit all of them - it's great news for someone like Buendia, but I'm not sure it's good news for those that are more of a traditional winger that hogs the line, goes past people and gets balls into the box - that's become the job of the full back in our system. I think Gerrard is great news for Buendia, Aaron Ramsey and Chukwuemeka, but not so much for Philgene-Bidace. Unpopular opinion, but I'm not sure Archer will make it here. On Trez, I was sat pretty close to the players last night and you could see how happy he was to be back at it, he had a little smile on all evening and although he looked a touch sore and his legs were a bit stiff when he came off, you could tell how pleased he was to have been playing again. That'll be a big boost for him, no matter where his future lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be a big boost for him, no matter where his future lies. Think it'll suit Traore very nicely too in an attacking sense - he's at his best when he manoeuvres into a CF position. Think he and Buendia could absolutely bamboozle a defence or two with their flair and technique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I think Philogene-Bidace can play more inside, at Rangers Gerrard didn't always play with two No.10 type players behind the striker as some seem to think, in fact I'm pretty sure that more often than not he didn't, as Ryan Kent, one of their best attackers is more of out and out winger type and I'm guessing he played most games when fit. They're fans' favorites, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one of Trezeguet or El Ghazi sold in one of the up and coming transfer windows.

He’s panics when there’s a player in his face, same as el ghazi. You rarely see them if ever skin someone properly in a 1v1. which for wingers, isn’t great. They kind of make up for it in other areas of their game, but they’re not good enough for us for where we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
