Maddison

[Ric Flair]

Said it before, will say it again he just needs a goal. Once he gets one he will feel the confidence come back and he will stop hiding away. He'll be back in the limelight where he's at his best. It'll come, he's too good a player not to.

100%. Can't see the logic in playing him over and over and over again in the hope he might find some form.

Pearson used to do it a lot with players, he explained his reasoning on Radio Leicester one time and it made sense. Some players respond to a kick up the arse, others with confidence and belief being shown in them etc.

When I was out of form and the manger kept playing me I felt every game the pressure to do something grew, I tried too hard, thought about it too much and got worse. I didn't want to be on the pitch. I forgot how to play football. I eventually got left out of the first team and the pressure went I started to enjoy training again and got substitute appearances and like @Ric Flairmade reference to I got a goal and things started to get back to normal.

I think something along these lines happened to Iheanacho, Puel kept playing him, he got worse, the crowd booed him, his body language said he didn't want to be there but Puel kept playing him, It did him no favours and I really felt for him. Everyone's different but I can't help thinking Maddison may be better off out of the limelight and coming on for twenty minutes till he's back to his best.

He just looks anonymous. There's no swagger about him or playing with any real confidence on the ball.

 

There's a long way to go in the season but on form, Soumare and Dewsbury-Hall deserve the gametime.

I sensed last night an attempt at least to revert to his initial performances with us, where he drew 'proper' fouls using his close control.

He looked to have that confidence and swagger back yesterday when he turned their defender inside out and caused the foul on him.

Flickers of improvement for again Man CIty and last night. 

 

So important to us, we are a better side with a inform Maddison playing.

That specific incident was what I was referring to. He used to do that a lot more in his first season with us, but seemed to get into a rut (indulged by refs up until this season) performing the admittedly less strenuous tactic of 'falling down a lot'

Thought he was better last night.

 

Also won a key header at the back post against two Napoli players, otherwise, it would have probably been a goal. So the effort is there he just needs time to find his form.

it's over for madders.

[Jimmy]

it looked like he'd had a foot up the arse, quality wasn't there but there was an aggression about his play that has long been absent like he has finally realised he is under pressure for his place

Haven't you learnt anything from City fans writing of the likes of Vardy and Nacho before?

I am trying to rush forward to the time when he proves us all wrong

[Pliskin]

Whether it’s mentally, or physically Madders is still not over his hip injury.

Thought exactly the same of Perez too, he looked to really put some effort into holding players off when he was in or around the their penalty area.

Then he's got a problem for the rest of his career 

[Farrington fox]

He should team up with Lewis Hamilton on the catwalk. They could chat about fashion trends. Seriously, he's got to benched on Sunday.

If he knows himself that he has not recovered from his hip injury, then he should inform the manager and ask for time off...... simple

Unfortunately Lewis can`t make it, some idiot has parked a car on his head :-)

[Nod.E]

Best we've played this season was vs. Napoli until they scored. Wonder why that was.

[Always Next Year]

Dose he really what to be at Leicester

[lcfcsnow]

Seem to be saying it every week but Rodgers persistence with him is creating a lower standard.

[FoxyLeon]

He can't even move ffs.

What are those watching who think 'it's just form'....Or 'He needs confidence'.

 

At the centre circle before kick off, he bent down and his cheeks came out like a bloke in his 70s.

[Brooksy]

Its like playing with 10 men when he's on the pitch atm. We looked so much more threatening when Lookman came on

[Leicester_Loyal]

Yet will still start the next EPL game, we're causing our own issues atm.
