El Ghazi showed once again, it's a confidence thing with him . Once he had scored, he was up for it, having shots and even defending. Marvellous had a great game, we looked more solid as a unit . Ramsey was worth his place, certainly looked like he belonged there . Even Elmo, looked as if the 90ms last game, was what he needed . Much overall better performance, the whole team looked up for it . Roll on Wednesday, keep it going against the Blades . Hopefully Jack will be back .
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

El ghazi has always brought us important goals, it was just the defensive side that let him down sometimes. He has now improved that.
If we keep a system that minimises the defensive work he and Traore have to do then we have guaranteed goals at the top end with him, traore and Watkins and Jack driving through the middle feeding them.

To be fair, I love him for yesterday, but El Ghazi can and has been the worst player on the pitch by a country mile, for whole games.
I’ve always said it from when we was in the championship, if he has a good first five minutes, from there he grows and get ms better and better. If he has a bad first 5, he shrinks.

So can anybody on their day Chris. With what we have at our disposal I still think the best starting 3 there are him, Jack and Traore.
Jack likes to come deep and roam around meaning the 10 role can suit him. If he starts to get crowded out then he just needs to drift wide creating space for the more attacking of the 6s or he occupies enough opposition players that Traore and El Ghazi have almost free reign out wide.

Your right Rk, they can, just El Ghazi seems to be 8/ 10 plus, or 1/ 10 subbed at half time, no in between😂
Personally I thought Traore had a stinker yesterday, decision making and control was poor for the most part. But he’s come on so much in his work rate and will to work for his team mates that he still contributed to what was a solid team performance.

Yeah, his touch has a hint of the Kodjias, sometimes it works for him, other times it's his downfall.

I knew he reminded me of someone, your right, it is very similar to Kodjia.

If you watch traore, he’s at his worst when he’s closer to our goal, I don’t know is it panick or what but he’s completely out of his comfort zone, some of his clearances are horrendous they literally could go anywhere, but he can have that moment of brilliance also, he’s just 1 of those guys who will have you off your seat or just pulling your hair out he’s never in between I find it hard to relax watching him😂😂.
