[Albion] Trossard’s medical failure

[Coldeanseagull]

I didn't read this as a dig against Trossard, I read as we have a fantastic player on our books.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He’s not alone, Trossard seems very marmite, personally love watching him play

I did do, but haven’t recently, the ‘dream pass’ to Mooy aside, his form has been disappointing since his injury.

A few points.

I never said he was rubbish. He is a very good player but like a lot of good players he only has one strong foot, or relies very heavily on it.

If he could add a bit more from the left foot with the option to run wide and cross he would be immense. There is still time.

Indeed.

Start the year as you mean to go on, so they say. Looks like a bleak year in the Giraffe house.

 

[Easy 10]

OP's had a shocker. One of the things I love about Trossard is just how adept he is with either foot, it makes him very unpredictable.

Trossard is quality. He's had a huge influence already this season which, for a lightweight guy still getting used to English football, is a great effort. Probably going to be one of the best players we've ever had in the stripes.

 

[Let's Have A Winner!]

I must be watching a different player, the Trossard I watch is comfortable on both feet and possibly the most two footed player in the squad?!

If we can't appreciate players as talented as Trossard, perhaps we deserve a team of workhorses with no flair.

Hardly a day goes by when I'm not left thinking:-

'And that's why we can't have nice things'.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I think Trossard needs to bulk up a bit, but not enough to slow him down. He's tricky, but he does get bounced around by the defenders who can contain him.

Poor old Solly, too. Whilst he recovers from his op, he falls even further down the pecking order... If GP believes in him, and he can actually become consistent, he's got a decent future here as he's very much the attacking player our new style suits. However, he's been consistently inconsistent....

I can't remember which second half passage of play it was, but Trossard was on their penalty spot and played a ball out to the right corner flag.

But that rather dismisses what he did.

The was completely crowded out.
Facing us.
He held onto the ball for what seemed like too long.
He waited seemingly in slow motion while everything was happening around him.
Then a narrow passage opened.
Trossard then played the ball out to the wing.

So effortless yet showed a level of skill I find hard to comprehend from an Albion player.


Heady days indeed.

Trossard was arguably our worst player today and would probably have been subbed but for Burn's injury. I still like what I've seen from him so far, he's settling in and it takes time - there's plenty of big marquee signings still finding their feet - Haller, Pepe, NDombele, Fred, Moise Kean etc.

 

[ferring seagull]

Oh dear...an inauspicious start to the new year ...giraffe in need of eyesight test

or stuck his neck out too far !

 

[vagabond]

Trossard is one of our best technical players.

Very strange thread.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Agreed, but less of the "we", please!

Maybe more "we" would be appropriate.

Luc Grapotte says "oui, on peut s'apprécier ensemble" I still have no idea what he means.

Definitely not our worst, Bissouma had that accolade wrapped up at half time.

The issue with Trossard is that his game is all about creativity in the final third. He is there to unlock Premier league defences.
The hardest job in the game. Often it won't come off. But the ways in which he is capable of being able to try to do it is astonishing.

I hear a lot of complaints about him "giving the ball away". This is generally not the case. Normally the defender has stopped the attack.
He is the last player I would take off when we are chasing the game, as he's the one most capable of creating a goal.

Very soon he will have a game where they all come off and he will be heralded as our most valuable player again.

 

[Solid at the back]

Would be very embarrassed if I was you, kid, starting a thread like this for attention. Pathetic

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Perhaps he can borrow the one you've put in your mouth, you bell.

Luc GraPotte says there was a book written about this called "Le pied gauche de Trossard"

I've still no idea what that means but it sounds "groovy" in french.

I don't understand how the Albion can play the game that they did while carrying at least 4 players.
Seemingly, Trossard, Bisouma, Propper & Webster weren't up to it and yet Chelsea were hanging on grateful for a point.
