He is the best finisher at the club. Play Jesus and Havertz and we are out. I much prefer having him on the pitch than either Jesus or havertzSo much similarities with Arshavin who also could play winger, false 9 or number 10 role.
Trossard is the guy you want to bring from the bench when chasing a game. He likes it when opposition is deep in their on half. He is the most technical winger we have however his physicality (stamina, speed, strength,...) is the worst of all. Therefore when he plays the full 90 and we cannot joke other teams, his performance drops due to the fact that he is using quite some energy for the defensive duty.
Overall still one of the bargains given his total impact. I'm happy to see his name on the bench list as I feel confident that he is one that could impact a game (in comparison with Nketiah and Nelson).
His balls into the area are also very, very good and hard to deal with. Wasn't he an assist master last season? And his best goal for us vs. Liverpool was scored running from the wing. His ideal position is actually as a sort of second striker coming from the left, maybe a 4-4-2 would suit him better, but our system is still fluid enough to accomodate him on the wing in games we dominate.A goal can save your life type of performance , think of Goodison Park or Burnley away recently. Please stop playing him as a LW and stick him as close to goal as possible.
I was thinking he is our most natural finisher yesterday too, and that is difficult to argue with. But Havertz for example is better at getting into positions for a sitter, while Trossard's weakness in holding unto the ball wide when not having the space to run has also been evident. We need the right balance, I don't think our best 11 includes him, but he is possibly the most dependable rotational player we had in ages.He is the best finisher at the club.

Martinelli was our worst player in the first game. I guess you never know with him but it's 50/50 if he would do any betterAside from the goal, subdued performance and we missed Martinelli's pace and directness badly.

I don't think this was the game for him, but he could be key in later rounds where games are more open and Trossard won't be good in those. It's good to have them both I guessLook, Trossard scored the goal that effectively won us the tie - huge props to him. That doesn't mean we didn't miss Martinelli's directness and pace. It isn't even about Martinelli per se but the attributes he possesses (pace, directness); he's the only player in the squad with that profile.

I don't feel worried for a moment seeing his name on the team sheet, he'll get it done. Everyone has bad games, our best player was our worst player vs. Porto.Become underappreciated. Brilliant squadie
Should he have squared that ball to Nelli, would Nelli been offside?
Nah he was on. He had to make that fking pass. What a wasteI think Trossard may have been just off, so I don't think it would have mattered.
