huss9 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 wouldnt be surprised if we accepted a big bid for him from abroad this summer if we bought another high quality left sded midfielder as i dont think Maxi would stay if he was going to be back up.

Outremont Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I am sorry but what is going on with him? There is no discernible injury that the club has described. He is just not playing. Is there psychological or fatigue issues at play? Pathetic by the club, unless they are masking a real issue here for privacy reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Has he started since he went off to France? Not sure what all that was about tbh, think he did it a few times under Bruce too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outremont Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 More concerned with card games than being fit for games I’m afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'd sell him in the summer. One good game every 6 or 7 weeks, we should be aiming far higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I am sick of him lately. So greedy and not prepared to put the hard yards in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Would look to move him on in the summer. Not the sort of character and attitude we want and is vastly over rated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Fuck off wankers. Idiots begging for ASM, "get Miggy off," "We need ASM on"..... Now head to point the finger, exactly as I predicted. Chris Wood played the whole fucking game, he's diabolical, I'm not in his thread talking him down or looking to blame him for our unfortunate loss. Absolute blimps in here.

HaydnNUFC Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 2 games on the bounce where we've brought him on at 0-0 and we look worse as a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I really don’t think he is suddenly shite and we need to get rid. But that is two games in a row where he has come on and we have ended up worse for it. The team looks unsure what to do, we force it to him when he is being triple marked and the workrate out wide understandably drops off. We really need to work the ball better and find the players in space that he is freeing up. It’s all a bit one dimensional once he is on. Love the bloke. Got Allan sent off. But was also weak as piss for the goal. The defence parting like the red sea wasn’t really ideal, mind. Seems better from the start of games when he can find his rhythm. Might be over-thinking it. But I do wonder if he fits into this current Howe set up. Built on the high press and workrate. We are better with the ball now and not just playing on the counter every game. All a bit of a mystery. Hope we can get him back in the team and firing. As he is a joy to watch when he’s on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Start him from the off if he's going to be used or keep him out. Always seems way off the pace when he comes on. Like he hasn't warmed up. Thought he was mostly ineffective and for the most part got tackled or pushed off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Everton were down to 10 and sitting deep. For all his speed, he's not going to go past three or four players in front of him without someone getting a foot in. I said it after Chelsea, but he's not really suited to be an impact sub. If he's coming on 10 minutes into the second half, it's not as bad but if you're looking to win or get back into a game around the 75-minute mark, the opposition are going to be set up very differently than they were at kick off.

Alan Pardew Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’d rather have him starting games and playing for 60 minutes instead of these substitutions in tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet instead of moving the ball and trying to find pockets of space he just runs into them all anyway and loses the ball. He is so one dimensional.

Sandrotastico Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thought he tried to release the ball earlier today, play more for the team. But think he looks half arsed or in a sulk...Somethings not right! Weak for the built up to the goal but Wood hardly protects the ball either. Always looks to be reacting to a pass. Maybe try Jo back upfront now he has some belief. Atleast he can use his body to hold the ball up. Nothing sticks with Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, when he comes on lare in a game the rest of the team just desperately look to get the ball to him all the time and he just tries to win the match single handed. He's much more part of the team when he starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
