Ejaria has delivered on expectations at times, if not completely consistently imo. He was very key to us being top 7 before xmas last year. Maybe not on your expectations but dont know what you were expecting. Again, if you check out other coaches' comments they nearly always pick him out as key. Whoscored rates him very highly. Puscas hasn't delivered on expectation. I'm not sure TDB has either tbh.

Snowflake Royal I'd relish defending against Ejaria.
Bully him physically and just stand him up because he's going nowhere unless you commit.

Millsy I can see the annoyance of him just slowing things down for no reason, seems like all he likes to do is dribble so even if he goes past someone he seems to want to stop , come back, and then dribble them again! Rather than just look for quick pass and make decisions.

I just don't see this this year. In the past, he has definitely been guilty of keeping the ball too long (not the stupid slow things down cliche which was never a thing), but he looks to me this year to be dribbling far less, and generally trying to move the ball quickly forwards. Bear in mind he also needs forward options to pass to which are pretty limited for whatever reason.

I would too. No matter what they’re going to get past me, at least with Ejaria I could stand still and get a breather before they do.
I’m sure that’s what Ian meant too

I assumed we were talking from the point of view of being Championship quality defenders.

Yep.
Championship quality defenders relish it so much that often there are three of them gravitating towards him at any once time. Can't keep them away - popular chap!

Tbf, I do love defending against twinkle toes when I play. It's an interesting challenge. They're always better than me and it forces me to up my game. I'll usually try harder than them and if they beat me it's entertaining because we're friends.
I hate defending against pacey direct runners. Because they'll leave me for dead.
So yeah, if I was a Championship defender give me Ejaria over defending against Halilovic.

Heh fair enough.
If someone tries twinkle toes BS around me I get pissed off and end up trying to break their legs.
I wouldn't stay on the pitch 2mins against someone like him.
Quite possibly why Pauno hasn't called me up to play yet.
