It was a good game but only judged against his pretty low usual standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Great set up for our first, it was almost a carbon copy of the set up for Dougie in the Bournemouth match. I think he did well today, and that he can be happy with that after a spell out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He done fine today. Noway motm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think his Villa experience has probably been humbling for him. Came in with big hype, scored a screamer on his debut, but then just failed to launch. He needs a new club and maybe a new league, but definitely a fresh start, and he's still young so he can rebound from this. I hope he has success.

Popular Post gwi1890 Posted May 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2023 Emery clearly sees something in him I think it’s likely he’ll be here next season. Emery was also a winger with decent technical ability but lacked confidence in his own ability and has been quoted saying that he wished coaches would have instilled confidence and belief into him to fulfil his potential. I think he will persevere with Leon , there’s a reason why he’s straight back in the starting 11 and Traore only started once during his absence. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more the case that he was effective in the limited touches he had instead of covering the whole pitch like McGinn who was my MOTM. But for wingers, being effective every time you touch the ball can rate highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also bagged the good assist. Kept it simple for the most part, and showed good feet and movement sometimes. Still goes down too easy on occasion. My argument has never been that he's been great, or not very poor at times. My gripe has been the notion that he is so bad and useless that he shouldn't even be in the squad. Was taken off at the right time, and i'm glad he was, because frustrations in that game sequence, would have inevitably turned towards him. the way some go on about him and Buendia that they are 2 of the worst players to ever play for the club absolutely embarrassing Edited May 13, 2023 by Zatman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Guy takes some stick on here and other forums but he showed yesterday there is a PL player in there and why I don't think it's a bad idea to keep him around next season even as a squad player. If he can find some consistency he can fight for a first team place, but it's been a frustrating year watching him because I really felt he might tear up the league this season and sadly he hasn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2023 Got to the byline and crossed with his right foot, first time I have seen him do this in I don't know how long. Good game from him, kept it simple and got the rewards. If he can build on this then he can be a big asset to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 So that brings him up to 8 goal contributions in around 20 games' worth of minutes. That's not bad, really. It's not particularly good either but at 25 with a good attitude and Emery as his coach, there's definitely room to grow. I still have concerns that he's not got the strength or low centre of gravity required to play the possession retention-heavy style that we're after, but the assist was a good showcase of what he can do.

I singled him out for praise in the ratings and reaction thread. There's no doubting his ability, hence, Emery starting him against Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 If we qualify for Europe he is worth keeping. Has been disappointing overall- as I said elsewhere would have been just as far on with El Ghazi in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 4 goals and 3 assists at home this season and only 1 assist away. Don’t expect to see him start at Liverpool but hope everyone is encouraging him if his name pops up on the team sheet against Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The only quick winger in world football who has 5 yards on a fullback and 100 yards to run into and checks back on his left after 15 yards. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
