Lush Vlad Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The through ball with him running onto it was exciting to see. As we rarely find him with that pass. Nor do I think it’s the sort of run he usually makes. We’re all used to him running from deep, or cutting in and skinning players for fun. But he is fucking rapid and if we can start to create space for him and thread passes like Bruno did at the end. Then he is going to be even more of a threat.

Tiresias Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 We're absolutely not safe, as said few bad injuries and we're right back in trouble. I think on balance we'll be ok but still a long way to go and will be some dispiritiing losses still Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestoon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 So good today. could have had a hat-trick of goals and assists. Think he will take his game to another level as the quality of player around him improves, and the coaching staff works on his flaws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah, having better players will around him will be great. He does need to pass more at times, but he’s scary when he really gets going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem with that is that he would much rather skin the defender with the ball than make runs like that, bless him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Looks like he's proper proper fit again. Has that extra yard of pace and spring in his step again that he hasn't had lately for whatever reason. Physically or mentally I don't know. Maybe a bit of both. I don't thinks its about him being sad about Bruce either really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Great to see him sprinting right until the end. Physically the best I’ve seen him look. We need the midfielders and Targett to always play well so ASM can have his platform to just terrorise people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You feel a shit giving him a hard time at the match for not picking that final pass or whatever, because he's fucking class and can create chances for himself out of literal nowt. All I can say is it's a compliment maxi, you're held to a far higher level than most in this team. And hopefully one day the players around you can match you skill-wise and lessen the burden.

duo Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The injection of some quality new players seems to have had an effect on him - Tripper for example has just led by example and I feel the players around him have stepped up a level. And not just ASM - Willock, Shelvey, Fraser all seem to have upped their game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He was pretty rubbish the first 20 minutes or so tonight. Please remember that the next game before going "fucking pass it ASM man " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Thought he was frustrating as owt in the first half. That said, he still almost created a goal out of nothing. Second half though, good lord. He must be an absolute nightmare to play against when he's on it. How would you even begin to try stopping him?

I'm not sure like, ASM seemed like normal, rugby league player, give me the ball and see how far I can get, especially in the first half when he had options to lay it off but didn't. Second half slightly better as he seemed to get the ball deeper and they were stretched more when chasing the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quite skinny (I've stood next to him) but he shrinks on the pitch, he drops about 4inches when he gets the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
