Each to their own. He has consistently pissed me off with lack of back tracking when losing the ball. 
 

Maybe he’s changed. But I really can’t see him fitting into our style of play.

 

Imagine in a few years when we are selling bruno or botman. People are going to go akka

II think the stick he gets about his end product is absolute nonsense

Dont think its nonsense. He could and should have more assists but apart from that his numbers are poor. its a fair criticism.

What numbers a poor though?

 

He passes the eye test too, his penetrative passing in and around the box is very good. His whipped crossing is probably the best in the squad too.

Loved his flair when hes on it, but it happens too rarely and he misses far too many games, as well as 2 assists only in 2023.

 

Barnes offers us a different but far more consistent threat. Barnes assists weren't too bad either when Leicester had good strikers in form instead of a washed vardy they had last season.

Thought ASM showed significant improvement under Howe. He should’ve had more assists, but he was feeding players who couldn’t finish.

 

Barnes’ doesn’t get many assists, but I expect he will do better with us under Howe than he did with LC under Rodgers.

It's probably been drummed into the ground already but his assists per 90 is in the top 4%.

What does the goal stat say? Like I said its a fair criticism. Its reason why poeple bring it up often.

Think it’s mainly a shame that we didn’t get to see him have a run of games last season. If he’d managed to play ten in a row, really lace together some good performances then we’d all feel differently about this Im sure. Would feel like a massive mistake but then we probably wouldn’t be selling him if he’d stayed injury free. Or if he had been injury free and we were selling him it would have been because he couldn’t play consistently enough. It’s all just a bit what-if with Maxi

His goal scoring stats are shite. You specified goals and assists as being 'end product' though and said his numbers were poor? They aren't poor though as he's very good at creating chances.

 

Like I say, he passes the eye test too, I'm not just basing this off of FBref. I've said plenty times in match threads that I don't get the criticisms of him in the final 3rd as he puts dangerous balls in all the time.

0.14 per 90 expected assists and much of that has been with a really good Vardy as the xA column shows.

10 assists in 21/22, that's like 2 years of ASM's assists.

Like others, I was checked out during the Bruce era so don't have the same attachment to him as the ray of hope he was in a turgid time.

 

Sad to see it not work out for him here, I really think he tried to do everything Howe wanted him to but it was just never a good fit.

 

Hope he does well and stays fit out in Saudi, think he'll be class to watch ripping the absolute piss out of inferior defenders there.
