I like the lad. At least when he has the ball it is almost like something might happen. Even if that might be an occasional Mackail Smith into the crowd, i'd rather have someone who tries something different than another one of the crabfielders we seem to have.

He is a very frustrating player to watch as some of his moves etc are excellent and then he makes a horrendous mistake. I would accept his long range shots if some showed a resemblance of being on target but sadly they don t, but he will one day score a class goal and all will be forgiven. I am more concerned that Ali looks as if he has no idea where the goal is, or how to shoot.
He's got a catchy song
He shows moments of brilliance but needs to offer more consistency. Can't afford to give balls away as often as he does. His misplaced pass to Montoya today whilst being uncontested was shocking.

Can’t say I’m overly convinced by him in any of his performances this season, especially starting. His passing and decision making at times is shocking, hopefully he’s not an Abdul Razak type, who has one game where he looks like prime Yaya Toure followed by 10 games where he plays poorly. I’d prefer Kayal in the team personally.

He's the one central midfielder who tries things - he's very good at seeing space and driving into it... getting us further up the pitch. I like him, and as he's young we have to accept the odd mistake. Yes it was his pass that led to the goal, but all three of our midfielders gave the ball away cheaply, but were fortunate enough not to be punished.
It's easy to pick out players like this, but fundamentally the real problem was the training ground level of intensity we played at. Slow and ponderous does not win Premier League matches

I think he is going to be great for us. He’s a more positive player than other midfielders we have. My worry is that CH will not encourage those direct attacks enough.
The issue will always be that a player like Yves will make mistakes because he takes some risks.
CH is right to set up conservatively in some games, but against the likes of Southampton we should be unleashing a more direct game and be closing down teams and pressing a bit higher.
And his attitude lifts the team.

I don’t understand how you can be so clear cut about it, there’s clearly a decent player in there somewhere but I’m totally bemused as to what people see at times, game of opinions and all that but he’s really not done a lot.
All very well people saying ‘he’s different he tries passes the rest of our team don’t’ True or not, he’s done very little of note, he had about 5 long Rangers yesterday and all of them were very poor technique and didn’t even trouble the goal and his passing was wayward. It’s not just yesterday either.
