GeordieDazzler Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Loved the quote in Howes interview about what he said to him at full time ‘you play like that every week and all your career aspirations will come true’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He’s surrounded by the right players and coach to get the best out of him. If we can keep him riding high and he can dig in with our pressing shape alongside his individual brilliance then he really could be something special for us. Who else in the league can do what he did today? Every decision was correct, his weight of pass and when he decided to check back after dribbling past someone. Was a joy to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Fantastic today (but why did Pep think 'nah just leave him, don't get close, just let him do what he wants) Maxi won't get that space against anyone else this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybees, if that's actually what he proscribed, because ASM hasn't played at that level much? Maybees, if that's actually what he proscribed, because he trusts his team of superstars to win 99% of their 1 on 1s Regardless, ASM has landed on his feet here and now. He's got a manager, coaches and team that will help him become the player he wants to be. That interview with Tripps is telling.

You could tell there was a genuine happiness when he spoke about Trips helping him. He'd be entitled to strut around the pitch like a peacock on heat [I know] after that performance, but he took the time to thank his captain. Massive.

Pata Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I'm a sad cunt so read through Redcafe's other games thread and everyone raved about him. Things like 'we fucked up not buying him pre-takeover', ASM>>>Sancho and him being valued at £70m-100m now. Just shows how good he is when everything clicks. That interview with Trippier is lovely and shows that it's not just Howe who's trying to help him fulfill his potential. Exciting times and if he can play like that consistently we'll have a great season. Really want that RW so he gets more space against every team and can replicate what he did today more often.

Guest HTT II Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 On and off the ball he was perfect yesterday. Defensively he protected Burn and grafted his balls off. Even off the ball offensively he did the same. He created, what 3 goals and could have assisted more and even scored a few. That was his best ever game for us. His passing was incise and perfectly timed and weighted mostly as well. Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 He was fucking mint, like. Thought it was going to be one of his off-days when he was lazily caught offside immediately before their first goal. How wrong I was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I enjoy the way he seems to be shielding the ball better with his back to goal, either drawing the foul or bringing the defender out of position to get tight. He was outstanding yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good point about the shielding, when he was under pressure yesterday he made the right decision every time. Didn’t just try and dribble past someone, but either passed it, shielded it or cut away in a different direction into space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Absolutely brilliant performance yesterday, fantastic stuff. Even end of last season you could see he was trying to adapt his game, hopefully this performance showed the kinds of results he could get if he really follows through with it. Could've easily ended up with 4 assists, which is just silly against Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking players, especially pacy dribblers are never going to do it - every week. The key for him is to put in the graft 10 games out of 10. And an effective attacking performance 6-7 games out of 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either option is not a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
