Were you there? He was outstanding. Plymouth couldn’t deal with him.

I’d say the bit that showed his improvement this season above anything he’s done previously is the strength he showed to knock the Plymouth player off the ball for the El Ghazi goal.

That simply wouldn’t have happened before which is why he wasn’t a regular. This season he has worked on the things he was weak on (credit where it’s due to Bulut) but now has a manager who’s trusting in him and letting him do damage where he’s most dangerous.

Very encouraging and the whole team looked like they were buying into Riza’s ideas and playing to win games rather than just trying not to lose !!

A good start for Riza so far but a lot more to do to maintain this improvement.

Yes was there watching from high vantage point! Never said anything but praise his ability to beat a player his goal and assists.... but my point which you missed was his ability to run past Players and leave them behind he easily beats them at close quarters Or is what I say immaterial to his overall game !

Players have different aspects to their game.

Its like criticising Messi for not scoring a header after he's scored and controlled the game.

Just give the lad credit where its due.

He's a championship footballer, please tell me what you actually expect from him apart from his Assists and his goal?

Should be enough to hopefully to get a call up to the senior Wales squad.

Definitely playing better than some of the other Championship call ups.
