I think like a lot of wide players who come from lesser leagues where they've been absolutely pissing it, he's had a shock to the system and it's rocked his confidence a lot. He doesn't take people on. Any sort of pressure on him and he wilts or kicks the ball away in any direction as if it's a live grenade. If he gets more than five seconds on the ball in the attacking third he often panics. I think when he's been instinctive he's scored some nice goals or showed nice touches, but he really needs confidence.
He does give it a lot of effort but he looks terrified of Premiership opposition because the game is now hard for him. Whereas before he was taking the piss out of dire defenders. Most defenders here are built like a brick outhouse and can run the 100 meters in 3 seconds, so he's struggling. He's gone from being quite quick, to looking like he runs in treacle.
I do think however, an intense fitness programme and then he'll be useful to us in the Championship. I think he'll do alright there, score a few goals and get playing with a smile on his face. Though I suspect he can't wait to get away from England and play in a less physically demanding league.
El Ghazi on the other hand has more attributes to make it, but puts in half the effort of Trezeguet. He switches off way too much, probably from indifference. Whereas Trez looks hampered by self doubt, which makes you switch off for other reasons. I don't think it's the want of trying with Trez, but he's just gone from a league he was a bit too good for, to a league he's not good enough for. The jump was too big and then with no confidence, you look even worse.
