Considering that it was one of our poorest performances of the season, both as a team and individually, both wingers were still involved in at least a couple of decent moments - the goal, Wesleys chance, McGinns chance (El Ghazi run to set this up was excellent) and Trez has a reasonably chance cutting inside from the right. Like quite a few of the team/squad they is quite clearly room for improvement but I think both have shown that they have the potential to be decent players for us.

They left our full backs horribly exposed all game.We don’t defend well enough from the front.
He has been quite average tbh
Also worth remembering it's a lot easier to mark Trezeguet (and El Ghazi and McGinn) when Grealish isn't playing. He terrifies defenders and creates space for the rest of them. See how much better McGinn looks alongside him, for instance.
Konsa came in and played as well as Engels.
As soon as Grealish is back fit I'd be looking to move either AEG or Trezeguet in behind Wesley and play one as a deep-lying forward off the big man. Neither of them are convincing as wingers right now, and since Wesley is unconvincing too, we could do worse than shuffling the deck and see if it brings about any improvement up front.
Just played 70 mins in Egypt match at home to Kenya.
