KaKa Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 His performance caught me off guard tonight. Got his head up first, before then deciding what to do with the ball, rather than just going straight into dribbling with his head down. He looked so much better man, and it was allowing him to move into better positions higher up the pitch, and then go at the opposition full back where he had more space to torment them. Loved it so much. Genuinely excited about him going forward now. So promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still piss poor decision making mind, but at least he made the right one in the run up to the first goal! No chance man. I have been hugely critical of the guy, but he was spot on tonight. Can't believe your assessment man, wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little eager on an early cross but otherwise looked a valued team member going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 He’s far better for the team when he’s not the only source of our attack. He adds a completely different dimension to our play and when he’s not got three players around him constantly he’s a great asset Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Much better tonight. Passed it at the right time while also threatening when taking players on. Good stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 He's had a terrible injury and general fitness record this season. I think a break, and a full pre season with this evolving team he'll be even better next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Superb work for the first goal. Showed a different side to his game. More of that please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Said it in the match thread but it makes such a difference having Wilson up top. Having that threat in behind means its much harder to double up on ASM, also gives him far more passing options. Excited to see what the future holds.

Smal Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We managed to get him much higher up the pitch. Arsenal also couldn’t just stick 3 men on him because we had Wilson instead of Wood up front, so he managed to get 1v1 a bit and absolutely ruined Tomiyasu (who is a very, very good defender) in the process. More of that pls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Thought he was switched on tonight. Some nice lay offs and short passes to recycle possession and of course he was dangerous when he had space to run. Lovely pass to set up Big Joe for 1st goal too.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Great performance tonight, best he’s played for a long time. If he can appreciate why it was so good, and repeat it, he’s into a winner. As people have said, Wilson being on is a massive help to him.

Definitely got this feeling tonight too - much in the same way his game improved immediately once Targett went behind him. Having Wilson in front of him will add that extra dimension. Love it.

Consortium of one Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Let's face it, ASM was Brewced, but in a different way. Whereas other players were (non)coached and played very passively I can see where Brewce threw a meaty arm around ASM's shoulder and told him he was the key to the offense. Constantly taking him aside, bigging him up, and telling him he was the star. Howe comes on board and ASM has to not only change his game but he lost the ego boosting of Brewce. Honestly, any player eval under Cabbagehead has to be tossed out. The difference between running a sports car on cheap gas and the good stuff.
