Ayozé Pérez (now playing for Villarreal)

[Newcastle Fan]

I was really unhappy with him at the start of this season but he's gone back to being the Ayoze we know in the last few weeks, great movement, hard work and some classy finishes.

[Shush]

He's won me back as a big fan again. He's got some very sneaky and silky goals in him.

[Big Geordie]

Excellent today - great finish, assist and work-rate.

[toontownman]

Marked out of the game alot but really delivered when it mattered today. What a finish for the first and cheeky for the second.

[Dinho lad]

Lightwight maybe, but quality as well.

 

He's not lightweight anymore though, is he? He's definitely packed on some muscle.

 

Credit to him and Rafa too for getting him to perform consistently.

[54]

He's actually been directly involved in 6 of our last 7 goals during this winning run.

Updated.

That assist was as classy and assured (C A S U A L) as the goal.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Great finish and performance.

[samptime29]

Really good goal, well done Perez!

[Figures 1-0 Football]

I’ve been critical of him before but he’s been absolutely fantastic during this run.

 

Hope he keeps it up. Brilliant.

[Kanj]

What a player, man.

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.

He never played this role in the past. He'd play up top and run in behind or on the wing. He gets more people pressuring him now and he does well in the circumstances

[Guest firetotheworks]

He played this role all last season.

[samptime29]

Been a good value buy at £2 million like, also been a very useful goalscoring run this.

[tmonkey]

He needs to stop trying to dribble via nutmegs/45 degree diagonal dribbles through the player cutting across him. Does it what seems like 9 times out of 10 making it highly predictable, and it never works.

[madras]

Starting to look the player we thought he could be before we got relegated, lets face it he looked horrible last season and a fair bit of this before we pushed on a bit, good on him, even winning a challenge or two and his goals are usually quality and never scrappy.

[Yorkie]

There have certainly been stretches of form that have made me doubt his ability to perform to a decent level in the Premier League, but I think he's very rarely looked 'horrible'. He played a big part in last season and an even bigger part this year.

Mostly my thoughts on him, too.

[madras]

He played a lot last season, rarely well. Horrible maybe hyperbole but he wasn't good or even OK.

[toon25]

Our win ratio with him in the side says it all this season. Seems to love the club too so long may this run of form continue.

[loki679]

Lovely movement to get in front of the defender even before that finish.

 

Aye, reminded me of Andy Cole in the Keegan years, just gets in front of the defender and it's in the net.

I felt like fighting against the whole forum back in September when I defend for Ayoze.
