He has a lot of industry, which can make things happen...almost in spite himself. He could have set up an easy chance for El Ghazi but he just put his head down and shot with 3 defenders on him. Even his run for the penalty, he was bumbling I'm the box, it just so happened that Otamendi was dumber than him and stuck out a leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Coming off the bench suits him I think, injects a bit of energy into games. When trying to do it from the start and and against fresher players he struggles to impact on games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeepDish Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Would rather have a bit of a hopeless footballer always trying than the no effort we had on the pitch from the start. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It was the ultimate irony bringing him on today. Man City had 11 players on the pitch who make the brilliant look effortless. The we bring on the ultimate scuttler !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 12, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2020 He's okay. He's a useful player to have in a Premier league squad. I'm not sure he's good enough to be a regular starter - I'm not sure we have anyone in our front there who is good enough to be a regular starter at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you’re saying but I don’t think he’s hopeless, far from it, we paid £8.75m for him. I don’t know what you’re expecting for that fee. For me, he has done well this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about a Norwegian word and could not get the right word in English. Maybe a bit erratic and immature is better, as I also see something in him, but he struggles with choices in important situations.

DJ_Villain Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Works his socks off and seemingly is desperate to impress... Can't fault his work rate at all... but his application can be hit-or-miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Haha he's great, l love him. He doesn't know what's going on, so the opponents sure as hell won't 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Should have started , at least we could of it balls on the flank for him to chase , instead we added another cm and tried to contain.Smith post match says we played in front of them , well you took an attack off the starting line up we only had 2 options to hit Jack or AEG In Games like this his running around harassing players is a better option than Houriane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Don't really get why everyone seems to think he is s***. No doubt taking his time to adapt but I do believe there is a good player in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I think he's got ability but he doesn't have a footballing brain so despite what his legs can do, his brain tells him something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I really like Trez. He's a very flawed player, but he has the right attitude for a relegation dogfight, and I hope he can pass that on to a couple of his teammates. Also, I've mentioned this a few times, but I don't see any reason why he can't be used as a wingback. He has a bit of the Victor Moses about him. He'd have been more use than Neil Taylor today, who was visibly ignored by his teammates when standing in acres of space.

He can’t defend, rarely if ever makes an impact going forward. Edited January 13, 2020 by MikeMcKenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that hard to fathom why he started, when our only other left back is injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Trez is gutless, physically scared when the ball lifts off the floor, turns his back when it looks like someones going to kick the ball, turns and shoulders people when heading. But yesterday he was the bravest one out there. That says alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would put him up top vs Brighton and knock balls over the top for him to chase. He wont offer much with the ball but cam annoy a slow defence at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Comfortably the worst footballer I have seen make 10 appearances for us. Makes Djemba Djemba look composed and technical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
