[Football] Yasin Ayari

[Sirnormangall]

Spot on. For where he is in his career/development he’s doing great. A welcome surprise addition to the squad after some not so successful loans.

Yep - whilst he’s been with us a while it’s mainly been on loan, so it’s like having a new player. And as we know, new players take time to adjust to the EPL. He’ll get better - need to be as patient with him as with others.

I’ve been impressed by him this year. In terms of who deserves to play in midfield, he’s second in line behind Baleba for me at the moment.

All I would say is I think he struggles further forward in one of the two 10 positions we often use in the 4-1-0-0-0-4-1 formation we like, and I think he often functions more effectively further back when he’s closer to Baleba and he has more space in front of him.

But there’s a very decent player there. I don’t think he’ll ever be one that’s worth £50m+, but he’ll be a solid Premier League squad player.

Very poor first half. His passing was all over the place whenever he had to do anything other than knock it sideways. Then after our '80% possession' phase Ipswich ran through our midfield at will.

Great second half though and got the pre-assist for the first goal.

This.

His Ipswich opponents were far stronger, faster and more focused first half.

Second half he came into his own.

 

[Big Vern]

Marmite

I think the reason that he seems to improve second half is because he has incredible stamina which means he is maintaining his fitness levels as others tire. So Fab loves him because he can keep pressing with energy for the full 90.

I think his overall physical improvement since we last daw him is key to everything here, he is much stronger, fitter, and its paying off

last night played a terrible through ball to nobody then had cheek to wave arms at Mitoma suggesting he should have being there

That’s a footballers goto play a shit ball and blame others for not realising you’re going to f*** it up with a lot hand gestures thrown in

 

[Doonhamer7]

I don’t think he is an upgrade on WBG

I think the same could be said for quite a few players in the first half! So many passes not finding their man, overplaying the ball and poor positioning.

Ayari will be a very good squad depth member for us I reckon, great attacking instincts and not afraid to go man to man - unassuming but he works hard and gets involved - I think we have used him far more than we probably would have done had we not had the injuries we’ve had but it’s like he’s slipped into the team and found an important role for himself almost under the radar. I’m really warming to him.

 

[One Love]

Excellent today

 

[Han Solo]

Started off meh before his superior attitude and fitness paid off once again. Real machine this one.

 

[Machiavelli]

Haven't been too impressed with him of late, but he's done a solid enough job filling in with all the injuries we've suffered. That said, he's been a revelation over the past two games. Clearly MotM for me today.

 

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

Best game in the stripes today

I think his overall physical improvement since we last saw him is key to everything here, he is much stronger, fitter, and its paying off

Like I saw before, he's like a duracell bunny and totally comes into his own later on in games

 

[WATFORD zero]

Out of nowhere last season and still improving game on game. Could be quite good

 

[WhingForPresident]

Carried on from where he left off in the second half at Ipswich. Another very good showing

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Does anyone have his running stats? Sense to cover an awful lot of ground.

 

[SkirlieWirlie]

Saw him at Burgess Hill services waiting for a lift after the Aston Villa game. Couldn't quite believe how slight he is. Looked like a 15 or 16 year old lad waiting for his mum to pick him up.

Playing and developing the way he is, I think he will be immense.

 

[jcdenton08]

Pacey little guy, isn’t he? That dribble at full speed through the midfield right at the death was class

 

[Han Solo]

Unfortunately running stats are impossible to find nowadays.

 

[Munchkin]

I don’t think he is an upgrade on WBG

I’d suggest he is and 2 years younger. Superb today.
