Including McGinn and Luis in this list is just daft.

El Ghazi and Traore are typical wingers - they'll have just as many bad games as good.

The other 3 aren't good enough.

El Ghazi has way, way more bad games than good. McGinn either just isn't good enough, or he's out of form (for a long time) through being played out of position. We needed players like McGinn and Luiz to step up with Jack being out, but both have been crap.

Given that we know our wingers are inconsistent as we saw last year, not strengthening our options was a mistake.

We were saying earlier on in the season that these players were good and we were heading for the top eight!!   I think it’s a range of issues and we are easier to play against in the second half of the season.  There is lots more work to be done, we need players who can shift into a different gear and to be able to play more flexibly and dare I say a manager who has the ability to be able to change the game with substitutions and quick, proactive decision-making.

Traore is a show pony who has a few tricks but consistently underperforms. He’s also an absolute liability around his own penalty area. Trezeguet shouldn’t be playing in this league.

Really wouldn’t surprise me if he left. Possibly a loan to buy deal somewhere.

We've had nearly three years of El Ghazi, and two of Trez, and I think that's all the evidence we need that neither are good enough. Our recent record in buying wide players has been awful.

I rate El Ghazi, goals this season a bonus.

McGinn? Seriously?

1 goal in 50 odd games now.

That's what happens when you play him out of position as a defensive midfielder.

Obviously needs time, but to be brutally honest, first impressions have not been great unfortunately.  Will hopefully improve as he adjusts to the league.

McGinn was our most hard working player tonight, he shouldn’t be on this list. Luiz hasnt turned up since Xmas, but has been our outstanding performer in some periods of last season and earlier this season and again shouldn’t be on this list.
If you’d run this list this time last year, my guess is Targett and Konsa would of been on it.

Cash, has been shocking since his return.
