This! Amazing how a victory can pull the rose tinted specs down. Awful first half last night and only marginally better second. I'm yet to be convinced but obviously far to early too be writing off.Didnt rate him first half at all , better 2nd
Not convinced by him at all yet tbh
Be as sloppy as that against top opposition first half and we are going in 2-0 down. It’s all a bit rushed from Ayari he can’t control the tempo that well at all.This!

Exactly what Coventry fans said. He’s still young and seems to be Fabs go to. Away at Villa he got spun badly by McGinn 3 or 4 times and they were in so lucky Watkins was off his game.Was woeful 1st half ,2nd half the whole energy improved, he's got great technical ability but not disciplined what soever ,
Totally agree. I have such a lot of time for Ayari. He's a grafter, he works hard, he's had to come back from a couple of underwhelming loans and has used that to become a fixture in the team. Deserves a lot of credit for that.I think most players looked pretty shitehouse in the first half, but Ayari stepped up in the second and was one of the best performers on the pitch.
I rate him. In fact, he was my tip for 'surprise package of the season', or something similar, at the start of the 23/24 season before he went out on loan. I think he'll grow into a very big part of the team.
Personally I'd like to see Wieffer alongside Baleba above Hinsh and Ayari . Still loads to come from him and probably our second best player at winning back the ball.
Think he’s underrated by some on here, possibly partly because of his build, which is slight.
He’s a skilled passer of the ball, and I can understand why in Wieffer’s absence he’s the preferred choice to partner Baleba. The question for me is whether he’ll still be preferred when Wieffer is fit.
My guess is he will be in games where incisive passing is prioritised, and won’t in games where athleticism is what’s required, but that’s just guesswork on my part.
I really like Ayari, When Matts is fit though i would be pairing him with Baleba.
I don't wathc us live very much on TV as I'm more often than not at the match, last night was a TV watch and it allowed me to watch it with not 'quite' as much emotion as I would in the ground. At one point I found myself thinking/saying "FFS Ayari/Baleba" when another pass went astray or the wrong option was taken or they left a runner to each other; then it suddenly dawned on me, in EPL terms these 2 are playing in both the most important positions on the pitch, and they are relative children!!!! Are they both 21? That in itself is incredible. It is why I'd bring Wieffer back in though once fit. We've seen the difference that having Velts/Dunk back has had, and Welbz up top. We need that experience now and again in the engine of the team.
Playing in the middle of the park is a very much highlighted position. So he will get more critiques.Interesting that during a poor first half last night, Yasin was the one getting pelters as if the poor performance was all down to him!
Following a few adjustments at half time, maybe the changes were both beneficial to both Yasin and the team in general. I've always thought that if the loans he had were with teams that didn't play to his strengths and/or he couldn't excel with poorer players around him, there is the argument that playing in a better team with better players, shows him in a much better light.
Second half he was sensational.Player who goes under the radar a little bit, but last night I thought he was by far and away man of the match. Absolute box to box performance so. Really pleased he’s kicked on after two poor loan spells.
He's a weird player. In spells he plays well beyond his years and looks to be a real asset to the team, I feel like his tenacity is a real strongpoint for him but he's clearly pretty raw at the momentPlayer who goes under the radar a little bit, but last night I thought he was by far and away man of the match.

For me he can struggle when the game is evenly poised and makes some basic errors when under pressure. This often happens when we start start slow in games as a team. However, he is excellent when the momentum is in our favour and he has been one of out best players in several second halves this season.Player who goes under the radar a little bit, but last night I thought he was by far and away man of the match.

I like him too, but I always thought Moran looked the better player. Shows what I know!I think most players looked pretty shitehouse in the first half, but Ayari stepped up in the second and was one of the best performers on the pitch.
