[Albion] Percy Tau

[Swansman]

Tau didn’t make the bench tonight - injured or just that others preferred? I’d like to see more of him and would prefer him to Ali J in the squad.

He is still locked up I think.

Still in quarantine?

 

[Originunknown]

No, but I did completely forget about Moises Caicedo before seeing him on the bench v Man Utd

He's featured regularly for the U23s. Certainly playing more than our Percy of late.

Of course - thanks

Yet weirdly he started him at Man City away..

He looked pretty good too. Anyway, he won’t get in the team for a bit now, the front 3 WM system with Welbeck / Tross / Maupay have really clicked and delivered lately.

mate.....i personally would have to say that whilst NM may have contributed to a certain extent , he certainly hasn't delivered ......he is off form currently and i see no harm in giving PT a 20 minute run at the end of a game and see what he can do.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Sure, we'll prefer to sell him .....................




............................... if anybody wants to buy him (and I very much doubt that there will be a queue; we certainly won't get anywhere near recouping our outlay)

I'd be very surprised if we didn't.

We only paid about £3m for him. Plenty chance of getting at least that back (on top of the three loan fees that we've already trousered).

I don’t disagree.. am surprised Percy hasn’t had more match time. The manager and coaching staff must surely have their reasons.

indeed.....strange because most of south africa seem to think he's an absolute legend , could we be keeping him under wraps until Biss is sold for 6o million plus sell ons....that's what he's worth currently imho.

 

[Farehamseagull]

So, from his rare appearances for the Abion, I must say I’m a bit surprised he’s not featured more?

Looks to lightweight would get rid in the summer

Always thought the same about Lingard when he was with us, whatever happened to him...?

 

[vagabond]

He’s been written off a bit too unfairly IMO after only a couple of league appearances.

Would rather he came on as a wild card sub over AJ.

I stand by this.

Percy was threatening when he came on tonight. Lots of pace, unpredictable and makes things happen. I continue to be baffled why he’s hardly featured.

Our depleted defence kept him quiet

 

[Superphil]

There’s a reason he’s not featured, and tonight it galvanised that position.

Lots of pace? He had a couple of great opportunities to knock the ball past their fallbacks and beat them for speed but checked back and passed back every time. I've concluded he's got little real pace at all. A delicious assist and full credit to him for that but didn't think he looked up to much outside of that

He was on for 20 mins and opened up the West Ham defence in that time.

Trossard did F all

 

[Blue3]

I thought Tau looked like he had bulked up a bit and what a great ball for Welbeck perfectly weighted

Tau did make a difference but the real change was bringing Lalana on

This.

Trossard’s indifferent form is a real worry. Second season in the PL, he’s so in and out of games, thought Jahanbakhsh outshone him today.
