He's gonna be on the receiving end because he made that tricky chance look like a tap in.
I can hear it now:-

'He only scores the simple goals".

I'm turning quite sceptic about Trossard and his ability to establish himself as a (close to) top player in the PL.

He definitely got moments where you think "this guy is a class above the rest". His end product is great. But his ability to get into situations where he can deliver "end products" is a lot worse: either he just gets outmuscled or his technique fails him - its very rare to see him actually get past his defender.

And tactically he just dont seem clever enough to find spaces to operate in. Maybe this is because he wants to use the same spaces Mooy generally occupy, but at the same time the few successful moments were often through collaborating with Mooy.

If he was a few years younger I'd say "just keep him and let him improve" but he is turning 26 in December, its not like he is a super talent.

He also looks a bit too much like Robbie Williams but I'd be willing to overlook that if he performed well enough.

So what to do? Keep him and hope he improves? Loan him out for a year to a league similar to the PL (like Bundesliga)? Sell him and get most of the value back? I'm leaning towards the last two options. Sell him and Ali J and sign another "predicted starter" for the wing and hope for better luck this time.

I’ve given this about a seconds thought..keep him

Trossard since the restart has looked a lot fitter...now we are starting to see his skills....two neat finishes in the last two games....that injury he picked up early season whilst away with Belgium really hindered his progress

Cut our losses and get rid.

Your Mum can score half volleys against the best keeper in the world? Get on the blower to Graham Potter!

Dialling but no reply, GP must be telling our players to do their best in 2nd half. :ffsparr:
