Sandrotastico Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 1 minute ago, gbandit said: I like Maxi but fuck me, his reading of the game and anticipation of where his teammates want the ball or the space they’re going to move into is shit. He’s also terrible at not using his body to come towards the ball, often teammates make a good pass to him but he just waits for it to come rather than moving towards it or putting his body in the way. It’s infuriating play. Also, if he’s not on his game then we’re essentially carrying him considering he doesn’t press like the rest of the team and chase back This.

Sandrotastico Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 1 minute ago, Smal said: I’m not sure what people are expecting from a player who hasn’t started a league game since August . He needs minutes and sharpness, that much is clear. He also needs to come and show to the ball, cover back and not do a half arsed run then let players shoot on sight. It's a little unnatural and forced to do anything other than get the ball and dribble. If the game is stretched he's great, but he does not fit this team and the way we play, unfortuately.

nemtizz Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Like everyone else he struggles without Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He's been shocking. Get rid before other clubs twig on to his weaknesses. Sick of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He's hardly played this season. I'd give him a few more starts before writing him off. We all know how good he can be on his day. He needs games to come back to that level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Flair players always get turned on first. The midfield has clearly been the major problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraguy Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) People talking boll88ks as normal, has been the same as any other players people just expect him to score the winner Edited February 4, 2023 by astraguy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He just doesn't fit in our team, sadly. Really think he's trying but it's just a terrible fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Played himself out of starting I think. Gordon looked pretty good in his cameo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Said before that he’s not made for our system, when I saw his name on the team sheet tonight I thought he might have a chance to shine in a more direct version of our system because of no Bruno. As time goes on the more I just can’t see him staying here, reckon he’ll go in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He had a better second half but I’d be playing Gordon over him every time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I still don't want to be too harsh on him, coming into a changed team and hasn't played that much lately, he really looked like he was not sharp at all and kept second guessing himself, we can let this one slide but expect better from him going forward.

Smal Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Still think he just needs more game time. He did some good stuff and some really frustrating stuff like usual, it was just exaggerated by a general lack of sharpness I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He has enough credit to keep his place in the starting eleven, and let’s don’t put too much pressure on Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Was Made for the Brucey system, when you get the ball just go and do what you want. Doesn’t fit howes system unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
