He didn’t even look like producing an assist or anything remotely useful whereas ASM at least came close when he fed Wood. nah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Poor today, his passing of the ball and crossing is unbelievably poor. He’s become very easy to defend against. Defend on his inside and double up and he’s likely to be caught in possession or deliver a wayward pass. He needs work in the training or long term he’s out of here.

Conjo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He's easy to defend against because there's little else teams has to defend against when playing us. He's more than deserved to stay on as a first team member next season. Hopefully we'll have more things teams has to worry about so they can't double/tripe/quadruple up against him.

ElDiablo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Need to do more off the ball. Simply can't get away with slacking nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 FAO all those advocating selling Saint- Maximin...howay man. He is frustrating as fuck, I'll say that, but the man is a game changer on his day. He'll still need a bit more time to adapt to Howe's ethos but I have confidence he'll get there in time (and once he does, my god, what a player we'll see).

Whitley mag Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I’m looking forward to seeing him with a top striker and another wide player with real quality on the other side. It’s easy to nullify him at the minute because we’ve got nowt else up front. Stick with the lad he’ll come good again and it would be a huge risk letting him go at this point.

Lazarus Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hes definately limited by the teammates alongside him - hopefully wilson coming back and being a bit more mobile than Wood will help his form. Obviously in the summer he'll have someone like Paqueta to feed off and even better forwards up with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has saved us so many times and has done enough to have the right for a bad spell. But he needs to up his game with and without ball. Unfair to compare, but look at Mane and Diaz. They are everywhere. They are the elite, and if Maximin is going to be a fracture of that calibre then he needs to work alot with his game. Or else he will just end up like a Iwobi.

Kanj Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I wonder if our way forward will be through wide forwards like Diaz and Mane and not Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Long term I don’t think he’s got a future if he continues like this. If we are to become the team we all want he’s not the man. He’s a wonderful talent but as a unit, where we will be upgrading all areas he’ll simply not be needed or indeed be able to fit into the team. He has to adapt or we outgrow him. The alternative is that we are not going to be good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seeing as it’s not happening for him in an attacking sense currently it would be nice to see him put more effort in off the ball. If he wants to be a top top player he will need to contribute more defensively anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is... it's not really a risk any more... We have the capacity to buy the left wing's answer to Guimaraes now, and I don't really doubt that we would soon enough.

80 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He was much worse when he moved out left from up front. I didn't hate his performance as much as many others apparently did, for what it's worth. I thought he was trying to put in a decent shift in the first half. He was pressing and things. But there was no sense that he was going to inspire the team to something more.

But does limited teammates make you run into blind alleys, choose not to pass to someone in space and instead run into traffic or take dragged shot?

The Prophet Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 ASM is fine for the time being. Our attack needs a complete overhaul as it is. Gayle needs to go while Wood, Fraser, Almiron and Murphy all need to be moved down the pecking order. As we progress as a team, he will need to improve or he'll be shipped out. Absolutely no one is offering North of £50 million at this moment in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) He needs to start developing mentally and physically a plan B style of play because his old tricks aren't currently working. Would be then to his best benefit to mix it up. It's like he's almost become too predictable to the opposition... and to us.
