David Edgar Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Gonna go back and dig up all my posts that got fucking slated for saying we could be a superbly functional team without him. Today was kinda the litmus test for that (assuming he was fit). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Right decision not to bring him on but its crazy that we have him and yet we can't find a place for him because of how in-form everyone else is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Yeah, he’s a difficult proposition for games like this. He offers so much going forwards but Chelsea wouldn’t have given him much space and would have had one or two on him at all times but he doesn’t offer as much with the rest of his game. I look forward to him bullying teams in the bottom half later on in the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I think if he’s going to be in the first team eventually he’s going to have to be trusted to put in a defensive shift for 10 minutes off the bench. bad sign for him long term.

Tiresias Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I'm sure he would have come on if we were chasing. I am sure he will get a chance again though. Just before he got injured he was really putting the effort in again. Remember he absolutely beasted Man City FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattletrucked Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Maxi doesn’t fit into the team ethics imo …could be his temperament, could be how often he loses possession, aye a match winner on his day but I just think he doesn’t fit in with Eddies idea at the minute anyway …just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It's on him to prove he does but think that's a wild overreaction for a player not coming on who is on his way back from injury, played midweek further limiting how much he could play and lastly not suited to the job needed of the substitutes at the time I agree he is an odd fit, but at his best he would be a brilliant asset, and Howe is clearly fucking brilliant at getting the best out of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Would still like to see him on the left and the revitalised Miggy on the right at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I’d tempted to start him at Leicester. Who knows what the team will look like after the World Cup, but he will offer something on the break and definitely get more space in that type of game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do agree but we lack penetrative left wingers to compete with him on that mind (Joelinton is many things now but not penetrative). I would absolutely be happy for a player to come in to compete and do better when we are pinning teams back and have him as option when chasing. But we do need more sparks of creativity in the team and he can provide that. I think it's healthy though, when we are reliant on him his inconsistency is infuriating but if we are playing well without him he can a brilliant option. No doubt he will want to leave if he isn't an automatic starter but again all players should be desperate to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I also want to see what happens now everyone is doubling up on Miggy, if they double up on ASM too, I mean who is going to be marking Isak/Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It didn't feel like the right game for him tbh, our best football was coming down the left with little and big Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It’ll be very interesting to see what happens next summer. I hope he cements his position in the team and squad but equally wouldn’t be that surprised if he left and was replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Reading this thread, no wonder that we stagnated as a club. We hounded out our best players/managers just for having a little poor form. Happened with Ben Arfa, Roberts, Dyer, and worst of all Sir Bobby Robson himself. Why would you want to sell one of our best players to rival club like West Ham, Villa, Everton, or even Man United when we still have so much garbage to dispose off?
