The Prophet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Yesterday proved his point mind (not that he should have said it). He should have been leaving the ground with two assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s potentially one or multiple contributing factors to why he didn’t make that run. I don't but he does suffer from fitness/stamina issues. He looks a big lad and it's not all muscle like Adama either. He doesn't have the capacity to do the running (including sprints) some of the top players do. Yesterday was his best game in some time. He could've passed earlier a couple of times for great chances but should have had one assist at least. Don't blame him too much for the 1st goal.

Mahoneys Tache Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Asking the question from another perspective: would Eddie Howe go and buy ASM based on what we know about him now he’s been gaffer for a while? because I think that’s the key here. Not sure he’s a player he would choose based on how he expects a work ethic and tracking back etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time the club has to maximise any fee they can get for him so we would want to try and see if he can back up his words and push on when we have better players.

He should have been leaving the ground with two assists. Yes, he did much better and they were great chances. The Wilson one was almost Cityesque interplay. The one criticism is that ASM snatched at the shot he sent over the bar after cutting inside. He had a lot to aim for and you should be working the keeper from there. Anyway, the Wood header, the Lascelles header (which was before the offside), the ASM cut inside, the Wilson one-on-one, and the Wilson airshot should add up to more than 1 xG. There is something wrong with the calculation there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The big question is can he play in a system? It’s not clicking for him currently. Hopefully his boasting comes true when we invest next season but he looked better when he was working “freestyle” under Bruce. Mind his relegation clause would have been activated about 6 games ago if this was still the case! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfmk2 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Best used as an impact/desperate sub in any future set up. Can't see him tolerating any prolonged period on the bench, so best to cash in this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I prefer him on the right hand side to the left. Seems to create more pullbacks and crosses over there. Really needs to work on his fitness though. His physical shape is unacceptable compared to when he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will improve a lot if Wilson starts the remaining games. That last chance when he appeared at inside right, collected it from Murphy about 25 yards out, drove past one player and squared it to Wilson who should have scored was lush. That's what we need to do. Not give it to him forty yards from our goal with noone in front. It's Eddie's call, but if he can get him in a setup where he doesn't need to do it all on his own, I could foresee ASM being very useful. The talent is clearly there. As for ASM himself, he needs to work on his shooting, which isn't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
veriaqa Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Agree with that assesment. Also he needs to work on his left foot. If he can use both of his foot he could be more lethal. He depends on his right foot to much for shooting imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We're pressing and winning the ball higher up the pitch, and with Bruno's assertive and quick passing ASM is able to run at the opposition when they aren't quite so organised, as is usually the case when he picks the ball up for us. Unsurprisingly he's causing them trouble. I think he'll come good as we improve as a team. He's looked like he's trying to be more smart with the ball too with a couple of sensible passes.

Nine Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Hes been better overall tonight, seems like hes had instruction to make less solo runs when out wide and first 10-15 was really bright. None of the potential big moments came off for him which is a shame. Edited May 16, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He linked up brilliantly in the first quarter of the game and did everything I’ve been desperate for him to do. Didn’t win the game on his own, but we’ve won it as a team. More of this please.
