Player not being picked unhappy with the manager - shock news. I think there are enough positive reports about Potter’s man management to more than balance this out - Jahanbakhsh was just never good enough for us under both managers he played for here.

Ligue 1 is the league closest to the PL with regards to physicality which is the main reason why there are more successful imports from there than any other league so no, I don’t think he would do well there. He’s in the best place for his ability now.

Maybe playing against players who are no better than league 1/league 2 standard helps even more.

Against the might of Syria. He’s found his level again. Pleased for him.

Yes this.

From that comment he made about making a decision about his football this summer, I'm hoping he sees some sense and drops his wage requirement otherwise he's just going to waste away his career. He's never going to be a success here whilst we're in the Premier League.

As most of us have known for a while, he’s just not good enough. For his and our good, he needs to be sold this summer.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee And yet Ali J has just one assist in 48 Premier League appearances Nice guy, tries hard, lots of excuses are therefore made for him but ultimately he doesn’t do enough in the chances he’s given and just isn’t quite good enough.

Sell. Wasted some really good opportunities tonight. Just not quite good enough. Tau was more productive in a fraction of the time on the pitch.

Another game and we’re in exactly the same position re: AJ. Technically good and able to put good balls in to the box when given time, but overall, just up to standard we need.

Exactly this.

And we saw today what he can do when he gets space and time on the ball. Unfortunately he won’t get that in the majority of Premier League games which is why he will never make it here. Lovely guy, great pro but time to move him on in the summer for his and our own good.

We should not be letting him anywhere near the pitch. We’re not a ****ing charity.

Total waste of space. Unbelievable how much money we wasted on him. What the **** was Potter thinking bringing him on?! We lost all momentum and effectively went down to 9 men as Maupay was so shit

I am not stuck at all - I have watched every single minute he has played for us during that season and since and if you look back over this thread you will see I have been willing him to do well then and since. I have seen more than enough to prove he is not right or good enough for this league...

Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee His stats are better? Locadia scored more goals than AJ has and JL played less minutes than AJ has. Including a goal that got us to a cup semi final. They both had a run in the side at different points in 2018/2019 and neither...

What exactly is ‘quite clearly a load of ****ing bollocks’? Looks spot on to me.

They could hope as much as they want, it’s never going to happen. He just isn’t good enough. For the money spent, he has been a huge mistake. Pound for pound the worst signing we’ve ever made, and I include Locadia in that. Needs to be packed off to a lower league ASAP for everyone’s sake.

He just isn’t good enough for this level. Always off the pace and not strong enough. He has had plenty of opportunities and never does it consistently. Time to cut our losses.

WA is spot on. I was shouting at him at the TV! And you could see Potter getting frustrated. It was so obvious we needed to add width, the middle of the pitch was totally cramped. It’s why Zeqiri was told to stick to the touchline when he came on.
