Popular Post Paddy. 15,014 Posted 22 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 The guys playing deeper than him weren't pressing or winning the ball so he never really received the ball in advanced areas. Zinedine Zidane would have struggled to get anything going in our midfield today. The whole team bar Kasper and JJ were shit so it's a bit unfair to question his mentality imho. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post kingfox 5,068 Posted 22 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Another game where he contributed fvck all. Fans love to overrate these luxury players and Maddison is another one. He doesn’t influence games enough and is far too inconsistent. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue-fox 401 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 I think he flatters to deceive. Slows the game down too much. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterborofox 1,506 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Grealish>Maddison Grealish carries and dribbles the ball so much better. Maddison doesn't have the same impact. Don't think maddison has improved in a year, but Grealish has kicked on for sure. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blanchflower78 597 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Maddison will get better as he gets more game time, injuries have set him back but...its clear Mount and Grealish are above him in Englands thoughts and justifiably so at the moment.

Mawuli 89 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Abit weird how many insults he's getting,this wasn't his game,we needed a counter attacking outlet or at least a defensive one like Praet to help Marc,this isn't his position, Maddison will never be a winger,and when brendan realises that he can be dropped for some matches is when we flourish 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your bang on, tbf even last season I would say grealish was a better player, grealish is quite a way in front of Maddison tbf, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chocolate Teapot 4,122 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Sort of performance that doesn't make you worry about the big clubs being in for him anytime soon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Webbo 17,431 Posted 22 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 He's a different type to Grealish. Liverpool didn't let us play tonight, sometimes you just have to accept the other side were better. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bfox 397 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Can’t really pin this on Madders tonight. He’s quality, but Liverpool are world class and gave him no room whatsoever. We couldn’t even string 3 passes together ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammo 1,834 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Talented player who is excellent on the half turn in between the lines... but lacks aggression and is really really useless at corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finnegan 27,215 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 He was sensational last year as an 8. He was crap under Puel as a 10, we shouldn't be that shocked that he's diminished in significance when Rodgers has played him further forward. He's much better when he can get on the ball deeper and pull strings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martyn 1,641 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 (edited) I don't think Maddison wants to be a "luxury" but his lack of strength and mobility can make him look that way against a side who can just run over the top of you like Liverpool can. Having said that, there was an infuriating 3 minute spell tonight where he 1) made no effort against Matip in a duel when he was 70/30 favourite to win it 2) Stopped a decent spell of possession by duffing a no look outside of the foot pass straight into a defender 3) made a half hearted effort to stop a ball going out for a goal kick when it looked possible to keep it in for a crossing opportunity. He is a player who'll look great in a side dominating the ball and getting numbers forward in and around him, or when we are counter attacking and someone can feed him quickly in transition when he has some space to pick out a runner. And that will limit his ceiling as a player. Edited 22 November 2020 by martyn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot 1,390 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Don't want to slate him, he's clearly still not fully fit and today wasn't his best performance, but for the love of God take the lad off set pieces. His corners are woeful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Arriba Los Zorros 2,564 Posted 22 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Bizarre that Madison is being singled out. Guess people are just too immature to accept it when we lose and need somebody to cast their bile at. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevosevic 3,491 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 He's our most over rated player no doubt. There's a lot of hype about Maddison that I'm not sure had ever been justified. He's a good player, sure, but I'm really not worried about him leaving any time soon. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splinterdream 757 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 He plays as a number 10 and we barely got it to the edge of their area. There was a play where he dribbled the ball across the edge of their box looking for someone to make a run and no one moved. Be careful what you wish for because madders could go United and get straight in that side and make an impact imo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not being singled out, the majority of the team were shit, but his performances deserve to be questioned mate. Yes he’s been injured, but how many times have fans come on here and said that he doesn’t influence games enough. The guy is our main creative player, I think he got 3 assists last season, that is a shit contribution. He is so hit and miss it’s unreal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A minute's silence was always a nightmare at both filbert st and the KP - I don't think I ever heard one observed without a baaa sheep sound being made. We were unable to enjoy / appreciate Andrea Bocelli. And probably there's some in the crowd that would still choose Iain Hume over Maddison Madders is a joyous player. I love him to bits. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matty98 1,870 Posted 22 November 2020 Report Share Posted 22 November 2020 Don't think you can play him and Tielemans in a midfield without Ndidi. They don't cover enough ground to win the midfield battle. Ndidi is a ball winning machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A few flashes of brilliance but he doesn’t do it game after game yet. He looks for to many free kicks that slows us down a lot. His corners are terrible and he lacks physical strength. He is a good player nice first touch and good passer, He needs to dominate games more as our main creator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
