Good to see that he’s desperate to succeed though, and I’m sure once he gets that first goal then he’ll start to choose better options.

DazBob Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Any other player attempts the passes Maddison did last night not a word is said, but because it's Maddison he's criticised for it. That said, I do think he needs to relax a little when he comes on. He seems to be trying too hard to have an instant impact. He also doesn't do himself any favours with odd boots and a stupid headband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, twice last night he tried breaking the nets when the correct choice would’ve been to pass it around the defenders blocking his path. Problem is, however, we’ve also had players who go for a pass when a shot would’ve been a better option. If we had players doing all things right all game though, we’d be on European trips in the Champions League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it’s his positivity and drive not his intention to score a worldie. I love how as soon as he gets the ball he looks to go forward and make something happen. Ok it’s not come off for him yet but I’m sure it will eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshape Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Maddison looks like sumert a kid would create on FIFA. He'll cut in from the right and wallop one into the top corner on Saturday, it's a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 We’re not quite there yet imo. Still too much arsing around with it at the back, we choose the wrong option too many times - passing when we should shoot and vice versa. We often have players who turn into trouble and finally, there are still one or two bottled tackles. Once we hit top gear, we’ll spank someone.

His appearance doesn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes together I’ve no doubt at all he’ll be head and shoulders above most in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that but as you say, once he gets his head up and relaxes a bit, I think we’ll see the real Mad man and I for one can’t wait.

We were getting on top before the red card. Second half we lacked a good ball into the box, once the subs started the game became disjointed. The opposition usually are in the first 10 minutes. Then we got amongst them, played higher up the field and didn't give them a minute. You could say the red was a result of our pushing forward instead of Santos Baptiste Gilks Baptiste Gilks. Fonz was only going one way when he got clattered. We did make mistakes, missed chances and the result could have been much better for us. In previous matches we weren't even making chances.

Not a bad shout, Arfur Lion seems to play well when he's on the right At least switch the two of them throughout the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I disagree, as I too like to see wingers skinning their full backs and getting to the bye line. But the case for the inverted wide men has its merits too. Cutting in creates goal scoring opportunities, it involves them more in the possession based play and it allows more overlapping of natural right/left sided fullbacks all of which we’ve seen to good effect these last 5/6 games. Maybe some more regular switching is the answer so you get to see the best of both systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
