Dr Gloom 19825 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 players get injured. shit happens. if you can average 30ish games a season you're doing alright, particularly next season when we're playing four tournaments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14585 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Anthony Gordon is ASM’s replacement, because we’re now a professionallly run recruitment outfit he’s had time to bed in before the player he’s replacing leaves. We’re going to sign an attacker with a bigger goal threat with the money we get for ASM . Injuries and being too much of an individual have done for him. Which is a shame, he’s a great player to watch and has had some brilliant games for us 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is if you take about 3 matches to get up to speed on top of that. He might be alright for now, but if we continue to progress as planned the squad places become more precious if you’re competing on more fronts. Also you’re not seriously suggesting that if he’s been out for 4 or 5 games Howe will stick him straight back in the starting XI are you? Because we know that’s not likely so it makes the point moot about him playing the c. 75% of matches he was / might be available for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19825 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) 8 minutes ago, RobinRobin said: No - how many did he score in that time, remind me? 11 goals contributions: 10 goals 1 assist from 1522 minutes played Maxi managed 6 goal contributions: 1 goal and 5 assists from 1120 minutes played. Not in the same league is Isak, obviously, but not bad at all for such limited game time. The problem with maxi this season, for me, hasn't been his end product or a lack of effort to adapt his game. It's been his lack of minutes on the pitch, which is due to a combination of his injuries and the manager not trusting him at certain moments, or not wanting to rush him back because of the intense pressing style we play.

The Fish 8989 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 If ASM going means someone like Szoboszlai comes in, then I'll help him pack, to be honest. I love watching ASM and he'd be a great player for cup runs, weaker PL opposition, an impact from the bench but... he's one of (if not) the most saleable/least integral players we've got. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak doesn't have a history of missing 1/3 of the season injured, ASM does. That's the obvious difference you're failing to grasp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he wants to play second fiddle to anyone, he likes being the centre of attention. And tbf to the lad he hasn't been first choice for most of the season and hasn't kicked up a fuss, it's been very unFrenchlike of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You miss minutes by being injured, not when the manager doesn't pick you. And I don't think he's played particularly well this season. He was fantastic against Man City, followed that up with a goal against Wolves and then missed seven games with injury after which I don't think he was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19825 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 yes, i understand that. and i'm still not sure what we're arguing about i'm going to disagree about his performances though. the man city game was an outlier because he was unplayable all game. but he's passed the eye test and the stat test, for me, in most of his other appearances. his xg is on the money and his assists per 90 and shot creating actions are in the 96th and 91st percentile in Europe's top leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
