I predict he'll have a really strong end to the season. Glad this has been brought up ...... must have been playing on his mind big time over the last month or so ...... perhaps affecting his decision making and certainly some snatching at his shots ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 17 March 2019 Share Posted 17 March 2019 I don't understand the hate he gets on here. I remember a game in Mahrez last season where he played a stinker and did absolutely nothing defensively and then scored a fantastic free kick. After the game and for games of nothing afterwards his fan club said how he was worth having in the team because of his one second of sublime skill that he can produce any time. Surely Maddison should have the same opportunity. That Free kick was as good as any we've seen in a while and he really worked hard defensively in a position that he wasn't used to. He's 21 and full of the same skills as Mahrez with more defensive effort. I love the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc matt Posted 17 March 2019 Share Posted 17 March 2019 He may have the best assist stats in English football but he still needs to use his brain abit better in certain scenarios free kicks and corners spring to mind.hrs still young and has a lot of learning and growninf up to do.the fact he didn’t get a call up to the England squad proves he’s far from the finishing product.southgate is no fool and isn’t bias like certain fans on here...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 17 March 2019 Share Posted 17 March 2019 Really don’t get the stick he takes at times given what he can do. When you consider someone like Albrighton gets rimmed by our fans despite having nowhere near the impact this season, I can only assume it’s because people believe he has the talent to go right to the top? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beechey Posted 17 March 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 17 March 2019 (edited) 0.41 goals/assists per game (6 goals, 6 assists after 29 games played), compared to Mahrez's best non Premier League winning season of 0.61 (12 goals, 10 assists after 36 games). He's 5 years younger than Mahrez was for his season, and Mahrez had spent 4 years in the league already, Maddison is having his first ever season. Mahrez's first season in the league, he got 4 goals and 3 assists. How anyone can claim Maddison is anything but a great player and a very good prospect, I have no idea at all. Anyone who thinks he's not good enough for this team can throw themselves in the bin. Edited 17 March 2019 by Beechey 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitha Posted 17 March 2019 Share Posted 17 March 2019 Mentioned it before in other topics, Imo we will see the best of him next season the experience he will gain this season will be invaluable, the same goes with Barnes & Choudhury. The difference Rodgers has made already has been impressive, players yesterday off the ball were moving into space and cutting through Burnley easily even with 10 men, Maddison was at the heart of this, Rodgers will develop these players to the next level, exciting times ahead especially if we can secure the signing of Tielemans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinio'sCat Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 I thought he was in tears after he scored, and that you could see the lads are a bit phased by it, although supportive. They were almost keeping him in the middle of the group and protecting him, while he regained his composure. I was moved but... No one else mentioned it, so maybe I was guilty of over-interpretation. There was some irony that Chillers was the one who flattened him this time, he normally takes a battering in every game, but usually from the opposition.

Cheesemaker22 Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 I really like Maddison, the only thing that frustrates me are his indirect set pieces. If Tielemans can take the corners and free kicks that are sent into the box and Maddison can take the free kicks that give him an opportunity to shoot that would be much better in my opinion.

Deeg67 Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 I thought Madders corners were excellent early in the season, but he's really lost his form since. What we've seen of Tielemans on that score is certainly intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 (edited) In the hole. That’s where he bossed the play, in the hole. Fabulous to see. Credit for Rodgers tactically, credit for Madders for execution. Space is King, movement is Queen. PS. Sign Tielemans.

st albans fox Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 MOTD highlighting the space that he had on Saturday ..... if teams are going to play two up top then they have a problem with us - who do they make sure they are tight to with numbers.?? Our tactics presumably dictate that it’s not an easy issue to cope with. however, giving us space with ten men was rather odd. It was better addressed after half time .......

lcfc sheff Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 He's only gonna improve on an already impressive debut season in the Prem! 10 goals and 10 assists next year would be bloody fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shy of 20% of the season to go, I think he'll end up on ~8 goals/8 assists, which would be fantastic. More likely more assists than goals though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 18 March 2019 Share Posted 18 March 2019 Maddison has the same skills as Mahrez, I don't think so not yet. The fact is Maddison's head has grown out of proportion to his displays. This strutting about having to take the majority of free-kicks and every corner is annoying. He still has a lot to learn and how folk can reckon he's the best thing since sliced bread is beyond me. He's good but indifferent and needs to knuckle down and not think he's the prima donna he clearly isn't!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how? Regarding him taking set pieces, do you not think he might have been ASKED TO? I doubt he’s first on the scene unless that’s been decided beforehand. Stop writing crap mate.

Still, as beautiful as the thought is, I do think it was a case of poor judgement. The team is already a man down, you have a propensity for picking up yellows anyway for clumsy tackles and diving - do all the things you did to express your grief after scoring, but save the jersey thing till after the game. But he's a kid, and kids do impulsive things sometimes. If you're going to do them, at least he did one for the right reasons.i I say..well done to the young man..and the understanding teammates... We have around the ground the pornography of being forced on, with advertisement hordings and signs... Occasionally a young guy wants to get a point over..." Good on him"...!!
