El Ghazi the best player in the league and McGinn is lazy? Sod it, I'll take the ban. You're a troll. Edited February 4, 2021 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 He was very poor tonight, yet he can sometimes be a useful player, especially against weaker opposition. Need to keep a sense of perspective. Think it's a shame that this thread often divides into some people claiming that AEG is a genius and others saying he is complete turd. It's very reminiscent of Hourihane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live and hopefully learn from this. Ghazi on the left only. This is exactly my sentiment. Assume Dean went with Aeg to repay the form he showed before being unfairly dropped, but putting him on the right was a mistake. Hope Dean learns AEG is left only, and it hasn't undone the confidence he will have gained from December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Imagine it’s hard for him to be at his best with inconsistent playing time, though in the current setup it seems he’s going to need to hit the ground running with whatever time he’s allotted.

Watkins was near suporting el ghazi why el ghazi didint pass to him? Just dont say he couldnt He choose to driblle my man. Basic pass and watkins has a ball. I mean i can explain what happened if you cant comprehend. 1. Mcginn pases the ball to el ghazi when hes already surounded by 4 players. 2. Mcginn like the smart player slows down and waits for time to defend or stop the counter attack when el ghazi eventualy will loose the ball because hes surounded. I cant believe you blaming our midfield players for this situation it blows my mind. He could make that pass to watkins. That is true but one of barkley or mcginn need to be that massive space between their back line and soucek. It would prevent them from crowding like this.

McGinn has been very lazy lately. He doesn't track back. He impresses with presses out of position then he doesn't do anything for 5 minutes because he was recovering from the sprint. And I think you'll find I already said that I was exaggerating with El Ghazi but he clearly outperforms barkley when both are on top form. Because one is in contention for POTM. The other isn't.

He's a good enough footballer to have scored the playoff winner at Wembley and have a big positive impact this season when he's been called upon prior to tonight. Before he was dropped, he was scoring goals, setting up goals, he converted a penalty. He was perhaps unfairly dropped in all honesty. I think he's good enough to have won the starting gig.

ozvillafan Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hmm.... There's quite a few posters going on about El Ghazi's performance last night.... ... but I didn't see Traore doing much better, if I'm honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he pretty much always had two players on him when he received the ball and got closed down really quickly. He had a bad game by his recent standards but so did most of them, seems odd to just pin it on El Ghazi. Only Watkins was right on it yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Such a shame! He is a confidence player. Nominated for player of the month and goal of the month in December. Scoring 5 goals in 6 games! Nearly catching Jack for his goals scored, that's how insane his form was. Then gets dropped for Barkley. No wonder his confidence was shot. Last night though, doesn't matter if youre low on confidence but you gotta be able to do the basics. Last night he couldn't control the ball. RW isn't his position. His best attribute is cutting inside. Let Trez compete Traore for that role. I really really like Anwar, probably the best technical player we have but he is in last chance saloon now.

Anwar is a confidence player, but the problem is it's glaringly obvious he has no confidence in himself 80-90% of the time. He panics on the ball.

Stevo985 Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 I wonder if he was one of the guys with Covid? He looked absolutely awful last night. I wonder if he is still feeling the effects. it would explain why he was dropped after being on such hot form 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he is still feeling the effects. it would explain why he was dropped after being on such hot form Its a factor when assessing any players. Not knowing which players suffered from Covid means its hard to criticise players that have previously been pretty good for us. Douglas Luiz is the one that I particularly wonder about as he has looked nowhere near as effective since we came back from the enforced break.
