Cant judge on today but how often does he live up to the expectancy placed on him when he's out? Often, after he has gotten some playtime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I did feel at the time that Howe got this sub wrong, made sense at 1-1 but at 2-1 it always felt like a risk, I think Anderson on and possibly Joelinton going to the left would've made more sense. I guess he was anticipating Leeds leaving gaps but it never really happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He did more in 20 minutes than Almiron did in 70 minutes but I don't see his thread bumped with this 'not good enough' and 'sell him' shite. Some people just have this weird fixation with ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Another 10 mins or so and he would have won us the game. Was starting to warm up and was rinsing the full back he was up against. Such a shame he over hit that last cross, but it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's unfortunate that he always needs more than a game or two to get back to previous performance levels after getting injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did much prefer HBA and I understand the frustrations with ASM’s constant injuries. But it feels like we are all doing what Pardew did with HBA, when it comes to ASM. Not getting something from him, despite only getting a 20-30 minute cameo and he’s always the scapegoat. Not the fucker that was on before him and also achieved fuck all from out wide in twice the amount of time. He’s an unpredictable, low percentage flair player. His game really hasn’t changed that much over the years. I don’t fully understand the shift in opinion with ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He is clearly off pace and i'd question wither bringing him on when leading 2-1 is a wise choice, but we need him back to fitness in the last three games as he's one of our biggest threats going forward.

If we had played with more urgency after we went up 2-1 and looked to get him the ball more, instead of starting to play as if we were seeing out a 5-1 lead, he likely would have tied things up for us.

Displayname Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He got into more threatening positions in 25min then most of our other attacking players did during the game. Just need to sharpen up on his end product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Thought he was a genuine threat. Lack of football brain is cliche bullshit. Like at the end, he had the right idea but executed the cross poorly. Thought he was more of a threat than Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game really hasn’t changed that much over the years. I don’t fully understand the shift in opinion with ASM. I guess the change in system and success? We used to rely on him under Bruce, we barely picked up any points without him he was pretty much a one man show in a tactic less side. Now we are well drilled and successful and play as a unit. His flaws are a lot more noticeable and we rely less on his individual brilliance. When you are down the bottom you can afford the star player a run in the side to get sharp and back to his best but it's a lot harder when you're fighting for a champions league spot. Feel for him as he's trying to adapt and putting in effort but it's hard when he's constantly injured or unfit and having to make up for it in short cameos.

St1pe Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Weird comments in here. He’s got to be starting in the remaining games if he’s fit. It’s a better balance for the team, he’s a genuine threat - even yesterday despite being off pace on a really heavy pitch. That Isak LW experiment needs to end. Also if they offside goal is given and we go 3-1 up the people that are desperate to jump on him all the time are saying absolutely f all about his performance. A Leeds equaliser shouldn’t shift the narrative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
