Imagine how great he'd be if he improved his ball retention. Even when he's scoring/playing well, it's still there. That's what he should be looking to improve upon and if he does then there's no reason he can't keep that position next season.

Agreed, it's odd because when he first came his ball retention was very good from what I recall, he would always get out of tight spaces and rarely lost it.

 

Nah, he always lost it eventually but it took about 10mins of them hacking away at him as he span round in circles. His retention was brilliant but he never got his head up to get rid.

Did he actually touch the ball with his intended flick for Ritchie’s goal?

 

I sit just ahead of the Gallowgate 18 yard line, the move was stunning, Slimani powerful header to Ayoze, neat back heel flick to Richie in space and the rest is a blur!

 

Great awareness from Perez to know that Richie was coming in behind him.  Actually great goal!

Still the position i'd like to improve first (if we keep Slimani). That being said I think he's quite effective. He's not glamerous and won't split teams apart, but he has a nack of popping up in the right areas. Loves a late run into the box and/or a glancing finish. Will be a very useful player to have in the squad.

He’s still too lightweight on the ball. He’s a decent finisher though, makes intelligent runs, has quick feet and works his bollocks off.

It seems inconceivable that he'd leave a starting position under Rafa on good wages in the best league in the world for a club that may or may not qualify for the Europa League. Certainly not before the summer and seeing where all the chips fall.

If Rafa stays, he keeps any player he wants to keep. If Ayoze leaves and the manager is still here it’s because Rafa has bigger plans.

 

Not worried either way. Perez is improving and has played great in the last 4 games, but let’s have a full season of this before we can say he’s indispensable.

Doesn’t he after Lascelles have the best win / not lose % when he starts? He has really been indispensable this season, so unless there is an option of a significant upgrade he should be a guaranteed starter going into next year.
