Nothing wrong with criticising players on here or similar forums after a game, within reason. Seeking out somebody's Twitter to abuse them so you know they will read it is cuntish behaviour though. I have no sympathy for trolls whatsoever. Fair play Tyrone.
He enjoys the praise (and he had plenty in his first 12 months + at the club) he can wear the criticism when it's merited.[/b} Same for AEG and anyone else. I like El Ghazi, along with the 2017/18 team, the 18/19 team restored my enjoyment in watching Villa and that was due in no small part to him.

I'm not on Twitter but I imagine posts on there go a lot further than calling someone a c*** for missing a big chance. Death threats and other disgusting things about family members etc. It's really for the lowest of the low. This is important bit but what constitutes 'criticism' is a key part of the discussion. Telling someone their performance wasn't good enough and they need to sort it out is fine, telling someone they're a c**t for missing a chance isn't and never will be. That's the line that gets crossed far too easily by football fans.
I felt he needed a break last season, he was clearly crumbling under the relentless backs-to-the-wall pressure. I hoped he'd pick up during restart, but still not. Here's hoping that now, if he gets his chance in a 'front foot' team, he can get back to that player of '18/19, because I love players that widen your eyes and quicken your pulse when they get on the ball, make you mutter the words "go on, son", and he certainly did that to me back then.
