"He has been shocking today": Aston Villa fans rip into £8.1m man's 'very poor' display

Some Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to comment on their side's 2-1 win over Brighton today and one player who came under a fair bit of criticism was forward Anwar El Ghazi. The 24 years-old had a poor game today. El Ghazi spurned a gilt-edged opportunity as Mat Ryan's save from Conor Hourihane came out to him, only to slice the rebound over the bar.

El Ghazi.... how have you missed that.

El Ghazi at his worst. A light brush sends him down - appeals for something not there - Brighton counter and he lays on the ground then jogs back while Brighton penetrate the box down his flank.

El Ghazi in particular has had a very poor game.

Why isn’t Trezeguet starting ahead of El Ghazi who’s been wasteful & woeful at times?
