Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[JuanMartinez]

Gentleman, grafter, scorer of goals.

Trez.

[Ian.]

Still not convinced he has what it takes

He doesnt, he's miles  away from what we need.

I have always loved his attitude since he’s been with us and have often stuck by him when other’s haven’t. I was so happy he ended last season and started this one so well. He’s definitely quite limited in this league, I do agree on that but that desire, his engine and willingness helped him prior to the Covid problems.

Good to see that again today though, he was superb as was Ramsey and Davis. They really lifted us from what looked like another lacklustre display.

We really do need far better quality though if we want to finish in the top half of the table.

[LukeJames]

He's the worst of our 3 wingers. 2 goals today wont convince me otherwise.

[Clampy]

I've always thought he's more effective as a sub than starting games anyway. His energy and work rate are the last thing defenders want with twenty minutes left.

[ChicagoLion]

If it’s a choice between him and AEG I would take Trez because he is allways trying to effect the game.
2 great finishes today.

[JuanMartinez]

What an impact, could have had 4.

By far our most effective goal scorer after Ollie and Jack, big game player.

Raise a glass to you tonight big boy.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

9 times out of 10 an absolute headless chicken. Won the game with 2 good finishes today though.

[JuanMartinez]

Harry Kane did his headless chicken impression today also.

Trez was one of the Covid positive players in the squad - it happened just as he was recovering from an injury too.

When he came back, i thought it was noticeable that he had lost weight and that the combination of Covid and the injury had impacted his energy levels from the early season.

I also think he lost a lot of confidence after missing a few sitters - so to see him pop up and score when he needed to was a particularly sweet moment for him.

In the early games of the season, he was a really hard grafter. If he now has the confidence to get back to that, whilst coming up with the odd goal, then that’s all we can ask of him.

Is he what we need if we want to push further up the league? No, I don’t think so. Does he have a big part to play in this squad? Yes.

Who doesn't love a player with a knack for ghosting in at the back post? One of football's great sights, that.
Maybe it's the Brummie in me, but I do like that no matter how well he's just done or things have gone, he always looks like he's still troubled by when he forgot to put his usual lottery numbers on a few weeks back. 
And he runs a bit like a muppet. The Jim Henson kind. All arms and legs kinda all over the place. A bit like his compatriot, Salah. Runs like he shouldn't really be any good at football. I know what I mean.
Keep up the good work, fkn luvs ya.

[frank black]

He gets into some great positions. He’d be one hell of a player if he finished more of his chances. Should have had a hat trick

[Dante Lavelli]

I’d group El Ghazi and Trez in the same bracket.  Good professionals that play brilliantly about every 1 in 5 games. 

I’d sell one to the highest bidder - or whichever has the greatest FFP impact - and spend 40-50m on an upgrade (a 1 in 3 player).

Both are good players, and ironically, I would not be that surprised if they became £40m themselves; I just don’t think they’d get the game-time at villa to generate that sort of momentum and form. 

[Mister E]

9 times out of 10 an absolute headless chicken. Won the game with 2 good finishes today though.

He didn't have the time to think about the ones he scored; a good thing.

[Villan82]

Trez and AEG get too much stick. Both have scored really important goals for us and I can see both improving. They aren't regular starters but they are good squad players. You have to factor in a few things in looking at them: last year was a big step up for both (not the only ones in our squad) and this year Trez has had injuries while AEG was absolutely on fire prior to our Covid outbreak. That break may have had more of an impact on the squad than we know.

AEG has scored more premier league goals for us than Stewart Downing, Milan Baros, Nobby Solano and Thomas Hitzlsperger

Really?! Blimey...
