James Maddison

He game on in the 82nd minute I believe?
Not really enough time to get into the game

He was no worse than anyone else who had the whole game to stink the place out

He was as worse when in reality he needs to be much better
Was you at the game? He took a corner straight to their keeper (not new for us) and then shrugged his shoulders as if to say that’s all I can do
Odd
For a team leader too don’t forget

Yes, but the tactic all game was that same corner, think most of them ended the same way, so was it a tactic? Was someone meant to make a run

He was also one of the only ones busting a gut to get back to defend a few times

Why should he have been better, realistically in 8 minutes plus stoppage was he supposed to do?

If he came on at HT maybe you would have a point

He had another chance to create something too iirc, a pass to Porro (I think) who was mibrick.

He wasn't good. He didn't do anything to indicate that he should have been brought on earlier.

He needs to get back to his best. May take some time, but I think he will.

I just think if you come on fresh you should be able to do more than those who are tired
He didn’t
He barely offered anything

Has he had a falling out with Ange? There was no reason he only got 8 minutes yesterday when we needed to try a different approach

I don't even think he's been as bad as made out this season

Maybe he only got 8 minutes because Ange is aware of how poorly he's playing at the moment. There might have been no belief that bringing him was going to change anything and it didn't in the end.

Agreed. Was hoping for him to come on earlier, but when he did come on we kinda saw why he wasn't brought on earlier I think.

Whatever it is hope he steps up again soon. We sure could do with that.

He has always been the player he is, great at times but poor at others and he has been the same at his previous clubs. My son in law is a S/T holder at Norwich he has said many times he can look great in some game and goes missing in others. The same was said about him during his time at Leicester. There is nothing wrong with players having bad games [ they all do] but it has followed him around at all his clubs.

Was hoping that now he has got a chance at a bigger club he would be more consistant, sadly he has failed to show he can so far.
 
I hope we upgrade on him.
I took a supporter's leap of hypocritical faith when we signed him as I'd never been a huge fan. I'd always felt he flattered to deceive.
When he wants it, he is a great talent with vision and skill that earmark him as special.
Sadly, I think he has a top 6-8-10 mentality and not a top 1, 2, 3, 4 one.
He has not been the same since his injuries last season, and for me, his performances this season have been poor by his standards. I look to our talented players to keep improving. Look at Deki! He has worked himself into a whole new role and dimension when during the cose-season, many would've said he was in trouble with regards to this squad.
I like to think I'm patient, but Maddison's performance in Turkey was the final straw for me. He was awful.
And his total lack of interest when he appeared against Ipswich was another sign that IMO, we need to move on in the summer.
We should've paid for Eze early summer.
 
We can't be carrying players if we never know if they are turning up or not. Take what we can get for him and move on.

I had similar reservations about solanke, but he has come in and risen to the challenge and showed the mentality that maddison just doesn't have.

Not ready to give up on him yet. He was inconsistent last season after his injury and earlier this session. But the last month has been by far the worst from him since he came here.

This is where he learns and develops, or doesn't. Let's see what he does.

We agree to disagree as I don't think he will. Here's to you being right for all our sakes!
 
lol truly inconsistent. really didn't expect him to show up against Emirates Marketing Project, but he did. long may it last !
 
Interesting post match interview. Basically saying he takes it on himself to position himself during the game. Then threw in “of course we have tactical training in the week where we listen to the manager”
