Another perspective. Would he be a player you worried about if he was in the opposition team? If he rocked up playing for Palace or Burnley or Villa? I think he'd be one that l'd be nervous about.

Definately. Players with the skill that Leo has are almost unplayable. When he gets a little more consistent we will struggle to keep hold of him. He also has a unique understanding with Solly and they are brilliant when they get going. With Tariq on the other flank we tear into defenses and create havoc

Complete waste of space.The most infuriating player i have seen in 40 years of watching the Albion
The only players that could have provided competition for him have been sent out on loan.Now we are stuck with him
Get rid

Bring back Ali J!
Nah with or without loans there's been no real competition for Trossard. Got unique abilities no one else in the squad has.

Flair player who looks bad when not on song. I remember after one match I saw that he was slated on here. He'd been out wide most of the match in good positions signalling others to give him the ball, but they didn't. He wasn't doing anything wrong at all but couldn't get in the game much because of lack of service. True about consistency. That's so often a trade off against flair, though and probably won't happen as with Knocky and other flair players and what can make that type of player annoying as well as exciting. Teams and the game itself need players like Trossard.
I'd say there are two things that frustrate me with Trossard (NB see above, I'm a big fan of him):
- he sometimes takes the ball on one more tackle than he should and loses the ball (not as bad as Knocky)
- and related to this, he almost always takes an extra touch either slowing up the attack or giving defenders a chance to close him down.
I'm convinced that when he plays more instinctively and passes the ball quickly, we're far more potent. But during 2021, I think he's improved. He doesn't seem to feel he has to do it all himself. GP and the other coaches having an impact - and we're seeing the benefit in his game. Can't wait to see how good he could be this season.

Probably one of the most subbed players under GP especially when he is ineffective. His 1st few games he looked great as he ran at the opposition defence and was putting very dangerous balls in. I would like that Trossard to make a comeback. Maybe he needs to bulk up a little
