He looks like Ronaldo when he's on it, absolutely unstoppable, powerful and direct winger. Can go with either foot, works hard and can beat a man.Then he looks like a pub player.
I suppose the good thing is Smith probably feels there's no pressure to rush Jack back if he's not quite ready now.
If you are talking about Traore and AEG fighting for a place, where does that leave Barkley?

Our best form since the start of the season was with Ghazi left, Grealish central and Traore right. I'd like to see us go back to that when Jack's back.

Against West Ham, he looked Beazer Homes league, he literally didn't do a single thing right. Be interesting to see who gets dropped out of him and Bert when Grealish is fit. On yesterday's form you couldn't see it being El Ghazi. I suppose the good thing is Smith probably feels there's no pressure to rush Jack back if he's not quite ready now.

Don't think that has direct relevance to AEG, but just sprang to mind.
