Ghezzal....

[stillwater]

Ghezzal offered more in his cameo than Gray did all game, if anyone is robbing a living it’s Gray and maybe even Maddison, the pair of them need to realise that they haven’t made it to the top yet and need to stop blagging a career in football and start to ply to the talents they both poccess

Yep, I'd drop Maddison for Ghezzal at Everton straight swap.

That quick free-kick he took which ended up going out of play was embarrassing, few minutes later he costs us a goal.

 

He had one decent chance which was blocked but apart from that he was garbage.

[Robin JD Popley]

Utter dross. The moments before their goal, he got tackled, waved his arms aside as if 'What can I do?' and watched on.

I admire the charitable words of compliment.

Realistically though he had a bad game, done very little and at his age and career of rejection shows little promise.

[Tielemans63]

I like Ghezzal...

 

He's one of those players who you watch and he makes you think "I could still make it as a pro."

[martyn]

Mix of good and bad. He played 2 or 3 lovely little passes which took multiple Cardiff players out of the game, but you can intersperse that with the terrible quick free kick, powder puff finishing and error for the goal.

 

He was a panic buy and I don't think he will be a success (imo his only use is in games like today where he comes on when we are chasing a goal), but to scapegoat him today is a bit disingenuous as there were worse performers 

[Jattdogg]

He is not the answer.  I wont slate him but i just dont think he is cut out for us and this league.

Yay another shit thread bashing one of our players who actually was one of the best today.

I do think so and he certainly wasn't one of the worst. I never was thrilled by him, but the bashing he's getting here on almost daily basis is absolutely awful. Same for Nacho. He's not Mahrez and will never be, people should understand that.

I thought Ghezzal showed some good elements in his play and looked far more likely to make something happen today that Albrighton or Gray

 

Undirtubateky for him, he did by giving the ball away in the lead up to the goal 

[whoareyaaa]

He is getting 20 minute cameos and looks a better player than Gray and Maddison.

 

You can put the blame on him for the goal if you wish but Soynuco played them in with an awful pass at one point fortunately they didn't score, Ghezzal loses possession and the player scores a goal from over 25 yards out that the goalie couldn't even get near so Ghezzal can't shoulder the blame for that or the marking/closing down of the player that scored.

 

it's took Ricardo and run of games to show us what he is made of and some players don't settle straight in but he is a step ahead of some players technically, I'd start him at Everton give the bloke 90 minutes.

[BoyJones]

Ghezzal has some talent, but is basically totally ineffective in this league. He should be playing his trade at the Ricoh.

 

For a supposedly forward looking player, he takes an age to get a shot away and when he does have time, hits a back pass to their keeper.

 

If Puel can't see that he is out of his depth then the manager needs to go. 

[ChownLC]

Better than Gray.

[volpeazzurro]

Don't rate him on the wing but when he came inside I thought he looked quite useful and quick at interplay. Decent as a number 10 if Maddison goes off or, as he's played there before, a far better option than the woeful Nacho. How he even makes the bench is beyond me. Ghezzal created shooting opportunities for himself,  Nacho watches all the work going on all around him just hoping that the ball might drop for him by chance.

who is worse than bad - imo draw

[kyleolly]

He put the ball through from which madders won the peno, more than Gray did 

[Farrington fox]

Gray takes 1 step forward and 3 back. Sums up his time at the Club so far. 

[KrefelderFox666]

Ghezzal is no Mahrez, therefore our fans are not happy.

 

I think he has shown a lot of what he can do, it just isn't often enough yet. I am happy to give him time, he's barely had a run in the team. Gray has in comparison and not set the world alight.

 

We have a lot of young players that need developing, no point sending them off after half a season.

 

He does have a tendency to forget about defending but Mahrez was the same.

I don't think he was one of the best. He was better than Gray but that wasn't hard with how Gray seemed to be the most tired of the squad despite having played the second least amount of football over the Christmas period after Soyuncu.

[jim5000]

He's the new Mahrez, just needs time to get into the flow

Not good enough to start, not good enough to affect from the bench. Not his fault, was bought for 12m with suggestions he can... 

[chris_lcfc_85]

I'm bewildered as to the amount of stick this fella is getting. He's clearly not pulled up any trees but we're so quick to write players off. Yes he made a little mistake for the goal yesterday but he did ok when he came on and got in great positions. He also decent at palace when he came on. I'm willing to give the guy a chance 

[Dickov22]

Garbage.
