tinofbeans 91 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 i'm in agreement that he's technically proficient as a dribbler, and offered us an outlet when we were abject. his recent injuries have taken a toll and i think mentally his head isn't quite right, so he's behaving a bit childish. which ain't good. raw talent wise, he'd be ideal for a super sub, and can cause havoc with most of the sides outside of teams that press him effectively. its just the same old, final ball and decision making.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Look at the unity Howe has tried to instill since becoming manager - post-match team photos / laps of honour after each match. This behaviour is completely at odds with the ethos they're trying to build at the club. He's finished IMO. Whether these comments were a cause or consequence of that is largely irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Maxy. Actually that reminds me about the line from Luke Edwards about Bruce being a ‘human shield’ taking the flak for the players’ inadequacies. That aged well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) I said before this I would get rid. ASM, Wood, Murphy, Almiron have next to no end product. -Keep Fraser and Wilson -Use Wood as a sub to defend a lead -Sell ASM, Almiron and Murphy -Buy a new first choice striker and 2 decent players to play either side of him Still think Lingard could do a job in a front 3.

Genius move if we can sell Wood AND still use him as a sub 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4247 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Think this has probably been blown out of proportion tbh, the French football press are as bad as ours for printing things out of context. I would keep him next season, give him a bit of love (some players need that rather than a kick up the arse) and surround him with better players. If his end product doesn’t improve after that then he would need to go because it’s not been good enough this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is still injured and we are now safe, wouldn't it be wise to rest him fully now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm not buying it. His mindset is all wrong - it's all about him and what he does / value he adds. The 'French football press' is a convenient get-out IYAM. Body language doesn't get lost in translation and it's evidently clear his mantra is 'the big I am'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinofbeans 91 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 isn't that always the way. reminds me of that Adel Taarabt (very probably spelt wrong) at QPR. they were reliant on him as we were when we were awful. similar results, the odd Worldy, the odd bit of magic, but really not much else and actually detrimental to a team... if he could be coached... he absolutely would be of benefit....
