TRon Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Bruce wouldn't admit it, but it felt like the only reason he didn't start was because he was linked with a move away. Bruce seems really petty with stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 He should hand in a transfer request and try to get out this January. Only the window lickers would hold it against him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Absolutely horrific thinking about how we will see likeable talented players like leave in comparison to what we could have been doing had the takeover happened. He and ASM will both be gone long before any potential takeover gets close to happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think he should be the focus really, rather than ASM. Organise the team to get him playing to his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 rafa had arranged 2 really hard working players (yes, i'm including ayoze) buzzing around a beast of a centre forward. people forget that last few months of his was a joy. never thought we'd get stuffed no matter who we played. knew we'd always have a chance.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I don’t think people appreciate how big Perez and Rondon were for us. Even signing Wilson doesn’t come close to replacing what they offered. It was like having 2 strikers and 2 extra midfielders at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 ASM does miss some simple passes and square ups. I get the feeling that he makes up his mind he is going to get from point A to B and he goes and does it but in doing so he's missed Wilson a few times open, off to his right, for a CCC.

Guest Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I love ASM, think he’s technically better, but prefer Almiron. I think if used correctly, he’s the one who’d have a higher ceiling potential wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 3 games playing out of position in the most turgid system imaginable and now people have decided ASM is overrated Unbelievable how short people's memories are. On his day, ASM is one of the best in the PL. Pundits, other team's fans, the media etc. were frothing over his performances last season - he was lighting the league up. It's no coincidence that since our neolithic manager tinkered with his positioning and probably sapped a lot of his motivation, we've looked a lot less dangerous as a team and ASM has looked a fraction of the player he was last season. Some of that is no doubt down to other teams figuring out how to play him but most of it is down to our shit deployment of him In the right scenario ASM is a game winner - Bruce isn't that scenario, ever!

joeyt Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 3 games playing out of position in the most turgid system imaginable and now people have decided ASM is overrated Absolutely mad. I really like Almiron but I don't think we've ever seen him have a game like ASM had a the end of last season or early this season. Maybe his debut I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
