Guest Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Think our best shot is Fraser & Murphy wingers, see if you can get Willock what he was doing last season in advanced role behind the striker. Fast wing play with service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I know Willock has been shocking as well, but think there’s more chance of him scoring a few arriving from deep with a regular supply from the full-backs and wingers in this position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 ASM is not the problem with this team. He's the least of our worries. Problems with him as I see it are: - He doesn't trust the other players because he thinks they're dogshit so tired to do it alone, but it's kinda hard to argue against him there even if it's frustrating as fuck - The opposition know that he's our only that because the rest of our players are dogshit so they stick 2 or 3 round him, marking or crowding him out of the game Get a couple of other decent forward players in the team who the opposition actually have to worry about and he'll look a different player. Be absolutely mad to even think about losing him from the squad, he does things few other players can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Was awful today but he shouldn't be dropped, like Playing Willock ahead of him would be madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be absolutely mad to even think about losing him from the squad, he does things few other players can. I feel like that has been the case a lot of the time in the past. But since the Brentford game, where he was great. A lot of the time, he has been lazy, ran down more blind alleys than an Oba Martins/Jonas hybrid, refuses an easy pass to play teammates in on goal and shirks even attempting to win the ball. He also wants to play centrally, but he is woeful there. I get he isn’t a striker. But whether it is as some kind of false 9 or a attacking mid, he is equally poor. He can’t receive the ball back to goal and he doesn’t seem to link play in the free role, either. We need him happy and in the team out wide. As he is quality and a match winner. It’s just where he fits at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Playing up front solo is giving ASM too much rope to hang himself with, he's trying to do too much and showboating all the time. He needs a decent striker in front of him so he's not trying to do everything himself and wasting so much of the ball. With confirmation Wilson is out for 8 weeks we need to buy someone this week or we're screwed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippier won't pussyfoot around him and will tell him straight. I predict ASM gone by next season. If we stay up I think he’ll be gone in the summer tbh. I’m not even arsed because now we know a replacement will be sought. I should clarify, if we go down, of course he’ll be gone.

Sandrotastico Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He has never hit above 5 for goals or assists in a Season in his Career. He's 25 in March. Aside from step overs and bandages he's nothing unusual. Wayne Routledge had better output. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 No idea what's up with this lad. Has the ability, we've seen it. But his decision making is questionable at best and he either tries to do it all himself or be invisible for games. I thought his attitude today stunk tbh, he's not the only one mind but not being up for a game against any opposition in any competition is borderline unforgiveable. Problem that we had between 2014 and 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
