[Albion] Zeqiri *Season-long loan to FC Augsburg*

[Swansman]

So he’s everything that Maupay is not.
Zeqiri suits our style of 1 upfront.

He will be our new Michael Robinson. Enormous work rate at speed in the press, when he grabs a few and learns to relax in front of goal he's going to score a decent return.

This thread reminds me of the Percy Tau one after his first start against Newport.

That thread is still running with the theme that Percy is now out of his depth.

There is potential in him absolutely no doubt .... but he is still someway behind Maupay, Connolly and Welbeck.

 

[amexer]

Mighty tough to play up front. Good experience and thought he did OK. Always wanting the ball and made good runs. Looks as though has more to his game then Connelly

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Good to have another alternative, who at least gives it all

 

[Napper]

Having slept on it . Still not sure .

There were times when looked out his depth but got better as game went on . Needs to get stronger on the ball but quite liked how got shots off and good finish when offside .

Potentially could have a place in squad that will help us but equally could still be dog turd .

Shame out the cup as expected he will just get 10/15 mins from here .

Would say so far jury out if good enough to be 4th striker . Needs a goal

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

He looks promising, but will need a loan next season IMO to give him the game time he needs to develop.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Deserves to start Saturday on that performance.

Certainly he's still rough around the edges, but that was a strong case for inclusion

Really?

 

[Live by the sea]

Zeqiri looks like he has massive potential. Getting better all the time .

 

[Hugo Rune]

Still 4th choice but you can see the potential. Could be 1st choice this time next year if he keeps developing and gets himself some goals.

 

[Arthur]

Before last night he's looked like a lad who has won a competition to be a footballer, far too keen, trying far too hard and it hasn't really come off for him.

Last night he played like he deserved to be there and the improvement was obvious for all to see.

Obviously we don't know what goes on behind the scenes I assume GP and co have had a word and told him to calm down a bit, just do what you do in training and it'll happen for you.

Took his "goal" incredibly well, with the coolness of a 30 goal a season striker. Connelly certainly needs to learn some of that composure in front of goal.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Encouraging performance from Zeqiri. Still early days for him, more to come I am sure.

 

[Rinkmaster]

Definitely a good showing last night. He seems more confident than both Maupay and Connelly. Not yet the finished article but unless GP gives him game time he never will be.

I am sometimes staggered by what other Albion fans see that I don't. Maupay works his socks off closing down oppo defenders, he's great at holding the ball up and is our leading scorer (though not in a purple patch at the moment).

It's a shame that MOTD, while happily showing Leicester's disallowed goal, couldn't be bothered to include Zeqiri's 'goal', especially as they seemed to think the game was so dull with little of interest about it.

Wow!

especially as they seemed to think the game was so dull with little of interest about it.

Well they weren't wrong there hence my surprise about the above. You'd have been propper pissed off if you were a neutral and you decided to watch our game over Everton Spurs.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I though the entire team looked pretty decent last night.

Oh, until the goal, of course, and then I remembered that all of our players are championship level at best. My bad.

In fairness to them, whilst Zeqiri's was a nice finish, he was very clearly offside at the time, so all a bit academic. The Leicester one looked like it would count, when it went in, so kind of more valid. Plus they probably wanted to give people a chance to laugh at BDB's comedy defending.

 

[vagabond]

Surely we can all agree that was a sensational goal. Shame he was offside, but a very deft technical finish.

That combined with some very clever turns and runs and have to say I was very impressed by Zequiri. Certainly a better player than I thought.

I don't think you were the only one who rushed to judgement
