Leandro Trossard (19)

Winger or false 9. Cannot play 8. Still a good player.

We know atl least 2-3 yellows were bullshit.
the yellow from Pool’s game was pure bogus.

False 9 comfortably his best position imo, plays too narrow to be an out and out winger and doesn’t have enough explosiveness.

Watching the game back he wasn’t that bad. Definitely some frustrating passages of play in the first half but he cut most of that out in the second.

Out of possession he simply can’t play no 8, forget what he does in possession… off ball he is ordinary.

Defensively? That’s not up for debate. I don’t think that was an issue yesterday tbh

Yes. He was bad but he definitely grew into the game.

The Trosser is obviously nothing like Marti but with the way we are playing at the moment - opposition team forced back into their own half and us trying to break the block - would it not be more beneficial to have Leo on the LW?

He’s better with both feet, technically sound in tighter areas and could interchange nicely with Jesus. With Kai back in the team for Fulham, this just makes so much sense to me and Martinelli gets a break from the team.

Tbh apart from the goal he still wasn’t that good.

Thought he had a poor-average game too. His goal makes it a 6/10 performance overall for me.

He gets into good positions and is a risk taker. Typical Trossard performance. Been crap recently but I’m a fan.

Should keep his place.

He will cause Martinelli isn’t getting a start in his current form.

And just like that, back to the bench!

If he didn’t score that goal I would have been all over this thread.

Didn’t think he had a good game and the way he took those first two chances Jesus set him up with was very poor.

Hoping that the goal will improve his confidence a bit.

I cant find the tweet anymore but an arsenal fan tweeted a response to this

https://x.com/bhavss14/status/1749743023850672141?s=46&t=LlMNFvsPPy2ozwuX8FhQrA

and said arsenal fans have the worst online fanbase and everyone uses them for clicks and engagement as they are so easy to rile and wind up.

This theory checks out :joy:

Came in last January and was a breath of fresh air. Still.maintain that Trossard should be our equivalent of Jota. Hope to see him getting plenty of minutes. This fucker has a Premier League hatrick against Pool.

To think we got him only cause we couldn’t get Mudryk. Such a blessing in disguise.

Love him.
