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


Recommended Posts

I'd quite happily see him sold presuming that meant we were getting a replacement. I doubt he'll be here beyond this season anyway, I don't think he's a Howe type of player.

Saying he was poor under Howe because he was exhausted from playing for Bruce is a shite excuse fella. I’m all for people sticking up for their favourite players, but finding excuses that just don’t exist is just daft. [emoji38]

 

Yes but you've ignored what I feel personally, my opinion, and just gone fuck off, there's no way he was exhausted. 

 

Not even considered what I'm saying.

 

May as well have just said to me shut up you cunt, or not replied.

How many goals and chances would team mates have scored and made if he’d released the ball earlier and to players in better positions? I agree it’s a big season for the lad.We all know he has talent,but NOW he needs to realise that this applies to other players.

 

 

 

Look at when Wilson was back. A really clever ball in for his second against Burnley. He was right with his comments that in effect Wood gives him nothing because he's so slow and static.

I used to work with a lass a few years back who when she parked up it would look like the car had been abandoned after being stolen.

 

Didnt matter how much the arse end or front stuck out, how sideways the car was or even if it was in a parking bay. Not a single shit was given.

 

Was really annoying like. [emoji38]

Don’t think you are a cunt or wanted to say fuck off fella. I just found that excuse funny.

ASM only passes to mobile and quick central strikers.You’re agreeing with that line of thought? And his reluctance to pass to every other team mate in better positions on regular occasions ?

Barely any...I've seen plenty of times where he laid it off to wood, almiron, Murphy, Joelinton etc and they all fucked up a goalscoring chance. 

Whenever I saw it I understood more why he sometimes feels the need to go it alone because the likelihood of one of the others doing anything was slim to none. 

 

When he plays with Wilson he gives him good assists and if we get a player of equal quality on the right then he will have more space to work in.

It shouldn’t be his decision who he passes to.If we signed a right sided attacking player,in the same mould as ASM but better,would ASM be happy if most attacks went through the new signing because he was the more productive player? Would ASM accept that scenario? If a team mate is in a better position you bring that player into play.It’s called team work.

Teams win games,not individuals. Newcastle UNITED.I don’t expect Eddie to put up with his previous mindset and if ASM reluctantly does change his game,to the benefit of the team,I wouldn’t be surprised if he looked for a transfer in January.If were are to progress as a team.The attitude of some other players needs to change.Lack of effort is still a problem from some players.

This season is certainly make or break for him. He's obviously had his nose put out of joint going from the main man under Bruce to effectively a squad player under Howe.

Has to be questioning whether he can get sufficient game time given he only... *checks notes*... started almost every single game he was available for under Howe, including the last 9 games of the season.

Is this based on anything? 

Based on the fact he's been the only player to go backwards since we got shot of Bruce. Or do you disagree?

Whether he went forwards or backwards is irrelevant to the point you were making. You said he’s obviously had his nose put out of joint and I wondered if it was based on anything I’d missed. Clearly not.

He hasn't went backwards, just the team has improved and needed to be less relliant on him thankfully.

Howe mentioned lately how we actually do have a little depth up top as ASM can play centrally to, although I personally think he’s absolutely dogshit playing through the middle (Cambridge) it seems like Howe may try and utilise him in more than just his LW position. 

 

It probably doesn't work in games where we have more possession but still think he had a really good game against Liverpool at Anfield playing as a CF. His lack of defending doesn't get exposed and he will create at least few half-chances out of loose balls every game and he gets to run at CBs more often.

He is the only quality we have on the wing, Fraser Almiron and Murphy just run around doing not a lot, we need to get rid of them before Maxi.

Can someone explain to me the significance as to why some words are written in a mixture of lower and upper case?  I've seen it in a number of posts and I know not why.

To mock someone or something someone has said, basically.

 

Stems from meme's.

If he was genuine quality the rumours of Spurs and Chelsea interest would be true.

Dogbrain logic. So if you’re a wide forward and haven’t been the subject of a transfer bid from Spurs or Chelsea you’re not ‘quality’? Deary me.

Well last season he scored 5 times and 5 assists, the season before 3 and 4.

 

So the better under Bruce thing is somewhat of a myth.

 

Whats consistent is that his end product vastly needs to improve, even for a team that struggled, those are poor numbers for someone with that talent. I don’t think I’m being overly critical with that.

 

There’s plenty of players who can beat a few and then give the ball away. Maxi just does it much much more stylishly so we tend to ignore it more than we should.

 

I think (hope) he can improve but he has to want to work on those other aspects of his game, if he doesn’t want to, nothing will change and things will fizzle out until we get a better replacement.

 

Time will tell, not too far away now either. He’s had a full pre season under Howe so should be fitter and we’ll see if his game has adapted.
