has Maddison been good since his return?
Is the right way to go about asking the question.has Maddison been good since his return?
Has he been a hindrance?? He’s not been abysmal. He’s not at the level he was before but he’s a top player and will be back to his best soon.has Maddison been good since his return?
Listen, I love Madders but he was fucking awful against Wolves. I'm not the only person that thinks it, but spouting certain viewpoints on this forum gets you untold amounts of abuse.
He is way off fitness, sharpness and confidence and right now he is slowing everything down.
yes he's been a hindrance imo.Has he been a hindrance?? He’s not been abysmal. He’s not at the level he was before but he’s a top player and will be back to his best soon.
yes he's been a hindrance imo.
He's not creating anything in an attacking sense and we lose stability in the middle and become very open as he offers nothing in a defensive sense as well. We actually looked far more potent in attack when he was out of the team and Bentancur was given more creative responsibility but Bentancurs form took a nose dive when Maddison came back into the team.
Of course he's a talented player and when he's on form he's one of my favourite players but it looks like he's overly cautious with the ankle.
As I said in the Crystal Palace match thread, I would move him to the left of the 3 until he picks up form and is confident enough to move back into the middle. Redknapp did that with Modric initially, Guardiola moved Foden out wide until he fully trusts him (its also why Grealish doesn't play in the middle), Mourinho did it at Chavski when he moved Mata to a wide position and trusted Oscar centrally despite everyone crying about it.
I’ll disagree with you on this. He’s working as hard as he was before but maybe not having that end product from earlier in the season but it doesn’t mean he’s a hindrance. All about opinions.yes he's been a hindrance imo.

Yep I got it, you disagree.That comment is embarrassing
Not specifically/solely Maddison related, but a number of players...Only thing that's going to help that right now is game time.
Steady with the shit jizz patter. Can’t be fucked with that.Yep I got it, you disagree.
Wipe Maddison's jizz off your lips.
You ARE allowed to criticise. And if you disagree, that's fine - but I'm allowed my opinion.
Maddison is quite possibly our most important player overall, and the most unique in the squad. He's a special player.
But it's not working right now, he's either not fit or too scared to actually try. I understand, but that's impacting our performances.
I don't know what the answer is because getting him up to sharpness and fitness is going to determine where we finish but he's certainly up there right now as a passenger.
I agree but like I said, I'd play him on the left of a 3 next game.Perfectly understandable he's taking time to get back to form after that injury tbh. Only thing that's going to help that right now is game time.
He'll play himself back into fom.
I never actually said he was a hindrance. I've lamented his impact and usefulness in his current state. Hindrance is someone else's word or post.Been ok to decent recently but miles off what he was the first 10 games when he was arguably the the best in the prem. Saying he's been a hindrance though is a stretch.
