TRon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Tbf, when he picks the ball up, he's usually looking to get a shot off at the end of his run anyway. He's not really looking to put anyone else in unless he gets blocked off completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It's not about the stat, it's about the names around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I can't stand stats like that, not least because they often backfire and hint at the opposite of what they're trying to prove. eg high up in terms of carries to shot involvements paired with low assists and goals suggests towards a player having no end product.

GEFAFWISP Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Alternatively, Chris Wood being the end point of his passes. Football statistics are hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I heard that he's got the same amount of nice jackets as Salah. Should definitely keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I still get the feeling we will sell him All of the players we are linked with seem to play on the left Personally I would like to see him stay and get to play with better players but have a nagging feeling he isn’t a (Howe) player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The more I think about how we play i.e. high press and highly organised positioning, the less I think that maxi fits our model. He just doesn´t seem to have it in him to press, tackle or at least block the passing angles. At the moment he is a luxury at the expense of the other ten on the pitch. Love him when he is attacking with the ball at feet Hate him when the opposition right back or winger has the ball and he is STROLLING towards them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Imagine selling ASM with Almiron, Murphy and Fraser as back up. It would be insanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I’ve definitely noticed him tracking back a lot more and attempting tackles near our penalty box more than ever this preseason. Not that he’s effective at it but he’s def trying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the only reason to sell ASM would be to bring in a really high quality wide man who would fit the system better, presumably the likes of Gordon or Harrison.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I think both ASM and Wilson limit our transfer strategy to a certain extent, not that it's their fault or there's anything we can do. Both have to play, both have question marks over them, both probably need to be upgraded in the medium term.

Pata Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I don’t know if it’s the Ashley-era or what but the season starts in a week and there’s always someone suggesting we sell our best winger. Would rather just sign one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The minute we get a better attacking kid or another top winger I think we’ll see a far better version of maxi. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who goes into full maxi mode in preseason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
