[Football] Trossard

As much as I can't bad mouth Solly, I do find myself agreeing with the reasonable criticism.
Obviously it doesn't take much for that to degenerate into something I'd run a million miles away from.
But his end product, or lack of, over the entirely of his career, does make it rather easy to say 'hang on a minute' when excessive praise is being ladled on.
The lad was one of our stand out performers, just one week ago, in the single best performance in the club's entire history.
In the Premier League.
Against a 'big six' Premier League giant.
And yet just yesterday, after we 'only drew' a game, against a side fighting for their lives, I read comments that he 'showed he is not up to this level'. Because he missed one good chance? (as did Trossard, Groß and most notably Welbeck). It absolutely sickens me, the lack of respect a handful of players get from our 'supporters'. Absolute wankers.

I can't "bad mouth him" - I'd run a "million miles away from that"...apart from arguing that he's had "no end product...over the entirety of his career" literally in the next sentence.

I agree with your opinion on Solly. I think he's easily good enough for a mid table PL squad.
But I think it's fair to point to his goal output over his career and make the case that in terms lack of of goal scoring contribution from parts of the pitch than up front, he's part of the problem. My view is that he'll have to improve this or risk slipping down the pecking order.

March had a good game against Manure but let’s be honest he was dog useless on Sunday. I can see why GP subbed him.

Not from me you didn't.
But even in his stand out performance he still didn't 'ice the cake' despite the countless opportunity he created for himself to do so.
It was even highlighted on MotD.
He is what he is and that's fine, but it's easy to see how he induces frustration.

Difference being Tross can pull some magic out of the bag and knows where the goal is. I also wouldn’t sub him for that reason.

A super game v Man Ure, but that doesn't mean he wasnt poor again yesterday.
Even his most ardent fans might agree he hasn't been brilliant over the season.

As an aside on for Belgium quite early…they trail 2/0 to the Dutch…in that tournament that is so popular that it’s hardly covered on Tv in the UK
