Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Fenerbahce, on loan from Al-Ahli)


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

I Think he thinks he is better than he actually is and the Twitter knackers blowing him off has got to his head

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.

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

Him and Trippier are nailed on to fall out btw. 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.

Was awful today but he shouldn't be dropped, like [emoji38] 

 

Playing Willock ahead of him would be madness. 

 

 

Aye, get him back on the wing and he'll continue to be a very good player for us. Do people forget the Man Utd game literally last week? :lol:

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.

Yes he has, twice.

 

He's already on 4 goals and 3 assists this season as well after 19 games.

This is the same feeling I get. And its an easy job when you can just stick 3 on him cause the rest of our players are so fucking bad that you can let them just walk in to other players

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.

He’s slowed right down too, but I think that is due to the amount of bandages he is covered in the soft hypochondriac cunt.

Which is why I said we might see a different ASM if we get a right sided AM, teams might think twice about putting 3 players on him if we have another outlet, but currently teams know we’re nullified if they put 3 players on ASM and until we do something to change that, this season only ends 1 way. 
this in no way excuses some of the shocking decisions made by ASM though

His attitude to lower class of opposition has always stunk, he’s more interested in being funny on twitter than showing the correct attitude on the pitch

This is also sadly, very very true.

I must be reading this wrong then. Also 4 & 3 is not above 5.

3 Assists in 19 is shite btw for a guy that has the ball for 90% of the time we do.

He got 6 goals in Ligue 1 for Nice in 2019/20 and 7 assists for Nice in Ligue 1 in 2017/18 according to whoscored.com which is as reliable a website as you will find.

 

Halfway through this season he has 4 goals and 3 assists which is 7 goal involvements in 19 games, pretty good for a player in a team with one win

Piss poor today but is our main threat - need two centre half’s and a centre forward ASAP 

 

Then a left back and a holding centre midfielder 

 

Joelinton for all his hard work is terrible in front of goal and continuously slips over at vital moments , 

 

Our squad is woeful , i wouldn’t be sad to see anyone go excluding Wilson , Maximum

And trippier …as for the rest …..I wouldn’t blink an eye if they were sold or released 

 

Jacob Murphy - Gives it a go (tbf)
