[Albion] Jahanbakhsh - best game to date?

Bozza · Mar 2, 2019

Warren Aspinall was on Five Live around 12:45 today talking to Mark Chapman and Alistair Bruce-Ball and he was pretty damning about the Izquierdo, Locadia and Jahanbakhsh signings and their lack of impact given the money spent.

Jahanbakhsh stepped up today, I thought, and showed some real glimpses of quality. Like many around me, I thought Hughton was getting it wrong taking him off and leaving Knockaert on, as the latter had not really threatened in the same way. The sulky Frenchmen then went on to deliver the cross for Andone to score, of course.

Regardless, Jahanbakhsh did enough to suggest he's got something to offer.

Yes, i thought he was very good today.

Bbc sport gave him man of the match.

What's Warren going on about re Izquierdo though? He was a huge difference maker last year

DJ NOBO · Mar 2, 2019

To answer your question - yes, easily. First game he’s lived up to his billing.

Jim Van Winkle · Mar 2, 2019

Had his best games in the stripes today. Hopefully, he can keep those performance levels up, kick on and show his potential.

Yep, played well today.

Giraffe · Mar 2, 2019

Completely agreed. Looked much closer to the player we thought we had signed. What I like about him is his directness. Far more likely to be a goal threat than our other wingers as he looks comfortable down the middle.

Not convinced about him defensively though, suspect he could be a liability if played at Palace?

Without a doubt, my man of the match, he looked very good and very dangerous today and fully deserved a goal, cruely denied by the bar.

Definitely, the shot apart, still thought he was ordinary in the first half (along with the rest of them).

Second half was excellent for a spell.....

Probably better than any before - but that's hardly a ringing endorsement, is it?

Yes a noticeable step up which is great to see

And he has been injured a lot this season. Don’t get it. :facepalm:

I heard that too. I rate Warren's analysis, but he is categorically wrong about Izquierdo (so wrong in fact that I suspect he was expressing frustration over his injury, rather than his form in the second half of last season).

Jahanbakhsh undoubtedly his best game for us. I was very surprised he was taken off instead of Knockaert but, fair play, as that was a delicious cross he put in for the goal.

Did anyone think his shot was going anywhere close until it thumped against the bar?

Seemed to be drifting over in slow-motion, their keeper watching it and then, suddenly, it smashed aghast the bar.

Agree with you there, showed some real glimpses of quality. Or glimpses of real quality. Or combinations thereof. Suspect these might become more frequent with increased game time. Provided some moments of genuine entertainment today.

He needs a run in the team, but fort game he has made and impact on

durrington gull · Mar 2, 2019

Decent display but nothing fantastic imo - 7/10 - tiny bit of his transfer fee paid back

Surf's Up · Mar 2, 2019

As with others, he has clearly needed time to adjust to the pace and physicality of English football along with the relative indifference of English referees...looks like he's close to sussing it now though.

Stat Brother · Mar 2, 2019

I was surprised by the negativity he got after the Derby game.
I thought he did ok then and the same again today.

It dropped really quickly at the end. Another foot away and it would have been a goal.
