Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Al-Ahli)

[Kanji]

Think Max is back, like. 

[Robbo2]

If we get that level from him next week, we've got a chance

He's a lot better when we hit teams on the break like. 

 

Looked good today.

Had his perfect role tbh. ‘Just go and see what you want you Maxi lad and do a little bit of pressing when you can.’

 

Knowing he’s playing for a start is probably a fair bit motivation too.

[Pilko]

Really on song today. Hopefully plenty space for him on that Wembley pitch, could be key.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Was brilliant today, just kept going and created a number of opportunities. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Fantastic effort. Please play like this next Sunday!

And back to selling him in the summer if we lose the final.

[Big Geordie]

Our best player today - drove us forwards, even when down to 10 men.

[Heron]

Sounded like he was at the races again today

[STM]

Perfect for next week.

[Infatuation Junkie]

I take everything back. He is world class.

 

I wont be on his case for a good 6 days I swear

[CPL]

Shame the game shaped out the way it did cause he looked like he could have had an even bigger impact than he did. 

[Ronaldo]

Not rocket science. Brilliant counterattacking player. 

[nufcnick]

I have been one of maxi’s biggest critics but that was his best game since the city game, he has to start next week. We have to find a role for him where he’s not reliant on tracking back as much as when he on the left he just leaves Dan burn isolated, possibly a switch in formation with him playing behind the striker. I would also be tempted to give miggy a break for the City game and bring in Gordon 

[Holloway]

On a mission. See you sunday bonny laird.

[LiquidAK]

Absolutely brilliant today. Wonder if being in a situation where the team is fucked and we're trying valiantly to turn it around just suits him, he can be the hero and go on all these mazy runs.

 

Play like that on Sunday and we're taking that cup home like.

[tommo]

Class today. 

[andyc35i]

He excels when the shape and structure is thrown out the window and he can just play. I miss watching those runs forward where you don’t know what the hell is going to happen next 

[Kid Icarus]

We finally look like we're going to get a tune out of him and that happens

[HaydnNUFC]

Class today. 1v1 with yards to run into he's electric. Just need to give him minutes, same with Isak. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Liked his #10 position understanding, made good passing decisions. 

[Tsunami]

This might sound a bit mad but I think he looked better today because we had to change our style and look to flair and something different. 
 

it reminded me a bit of Bruce, get the ball to Maxi and hope something happens. 

[Willow]

Unreal performance and so deserving of a goal. We really need him right now and works well with Isak so far, we just need that goal to top it off

[Guybrush]

Absolutely class today like. Night and day from last week.

 

As others have said I think he suits the 'give it to Maxi' main man mantra over the 'cog in a well drilled machine'. Surely there's a way to let him be a bit more of a maverick without compromising everything Howe is aiming for?

[Holloway]

That's a nice performance there, prowling the Wembley turf next sunday 😎
