David Edgar Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 ASM is a maverick like Hatem, he is quicker than HBA but not as good at dribbling, decision making, passing nor shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 He is just too quick that he needs a lot of experience to iron out his finishing moves. Most of the time he has “overdone” himself where he should pass or shoot a few steps earlier Unbelievable talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The comparisons with Jonas are pretty shit tbh, agree with the others who are pointing this out. ASM is far more of a direct threat. I wouldn't really compare him with HBA either. Hatem was actually genuine quality in the final third. If he was getting on the end of those chances Maximin is getting, he would be burying them no doubt. The only reason he never became a great player was his attitude.

Guest Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I’d love it if from corners we just left Almiron on the half way line and ASM either with him or halfway between the box and halfway line. Defenders would brick it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'd accept a comparison between Almiron and Jonas, but ASM and Jonas? Naaaah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Boy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I barely watched anything but I love seeing him with the ball at feet. His end product and decision making is clearly not there and it’s questionable whether it ever will be, but he wouldn’t be here if it was Absolutely this. Got bags of pace and ability but nee brain to pick the right pass, cross or finish. if or when he does he will be playing for a champions league team.

Benwell Lad Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Can't think of any previous Newcastle player to compare him too, comparisons to Jonas and HBA seem equally wide of the mark for completely different reasons. The only player I see like him is Traore although ASM is even trickier and potentially better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Don’t think there’s much wrong with his decision making to be honest. From what I’ve seen he knows when to release the ball, knows when to run with the ball. His end product could improve but his decision making is what’s pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting him to look lively but run down blind alleys, shoot when he should pass, etc but I think he’s been sound there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Could soon, if not already, suffer from the HBA-condition that he's running with the ball, has no options, tries to do it all by himself, fails thus fall subject to criticism due to the ineptitude of the manager and/or team because it was him that lost the ball.

Sorry, but you can’t blame anyone else for missing those howling sitters. You have to finish one on ones when you have that much time through on goal. Finishing was fucking shite and he will need to work on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Hatem might have missed clean through like ASM did the other day...if he tried to take it round the keeper, twice. He was in a different league to this boy in terms of ability and end product.

DJ_NUFC Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Comparisons to HBA are wide of the mark as HBA was smashing them into the top corner for 25 yards from his first game. ASM is too much of an unfinished article, and I don't think he will become a top player as he does lack that clinical edge, but I hope he proves me wrong. Certainly won't be improving under this oaf of a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, him and Almiron allow Bruce to say he plays attacking football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
