[Albion] Trossard

[Bozza]

1. Isn't he just ****ing brilliant? He's always had it in him, but his hit to miss ratio was the wrong way round. He's sorted that out, playing consistently with confidence and giving opposing defences a real headache game after game.

2. That run late on in the game where it looked like he'd decided that if we were going to win the match, he was going to have to do it all by himself. He laid the ball off in the end, which was probably the right thing to do, but I'd have loved to see him to continue to jink around them, open up a shooting opportunity and slot it home.

Particularly pleasing because I bumped into a Burnley fan today, when walking the dog in the morning, who told me Trossard was shit and shouldn't be playing for Belgium.

 

[Swansman]

Good in every single game this season and is now at the level where he could be interesting to pretty much any club.

Contract running out in 2023 so probably needs to be sold after the season. Should be a nice profit... and difficult to replace.

It's his birthday on Saturday and I intend to be marking the event with a substantial curry paid for with some of the proceeds of my tenner on him being first goalscorer.

 

[Weststander]

3. That run from deep in the first half.


CL standard imho, impossible to dislodge, he only thinks of driving us forward and creating.

He’ll thrive with world class forwards at his next club. Perfect in the pocket behind strikers.

 

[OzMike]

He's finally woken up.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

A wonderful, wonderful player. His ability on the ball is on another level to nearly every other player in the league. His strength on the ball, close control and quick feet are just sublime.

It’s a joy to watch him play every week at the moment.

 

[whosthedaddy]

Along with Lamptey he was my player of the match, now if only some of the others in midfield and up front could try and achieve that same level of skill we might score.

 

[Munkfish]

Tross is different gear.

 

[Silverhatch]

Tried to win the game on his own. Almost succeeded. Wonderful player.

 

[Stat Brother]

He's finally woken up.

Just as everyone else is shoving moss up the jacksie and bedding down for 3 months sleep.

 

[Blue3]

He appears to have improved his upper body strength this season and looks good as an attacker

 

[Icy Gull]

Absolute joy to watch

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Last night was an exceptional performance, but he’s been playing at a consistently high standard for about 12 months now.

The thought of selling Trossard and being able to replace his impact and goals given our track record in that department terrifies me!!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Really need a tactic and formation to play him as a false 9. I might start a thread…

 

[zamora the merrier]

Consistency is the key. Before he might play like that 1 match in 7 now it is week in week out. Love watching him and his jinking runs always trying to make something happen. As previous poster said imagine what he could be like with decent forward players around him rather than what he has now

 

[Simster]

One of the best players to have ever played for the club.

How many years left on his contract? I hope it's at least two as that would mean we will get at least one more season out of him.

18 months

Some are not going to like this but.....

A slight criticism I have is I think he slows us down some times and holds on to the ball, with his fancy footwork, for too long around the 18 yard box.

Few times last night he could have played in Cuccurella or Lamptey, but held on to it and the attack broke down.

Can't knock him on anything else.

 

[METALMICKY]

He now joins Lamptey as a player you really get excited about when they get on the ball!
