Genuinely think he’s completely crocked, rewatch the taking of the knee and watch his face when he has to get up.

I was quietly worried in the summer about the arsenal rumours that the murmurings/briefings were from us, trying to offload damaged goods. 

 

It's increasingly looking that might be the case and that his baffling continued inclusion could well be a club direction in an attempt to maintain his value 

 

It's very concerning for the lad. And on top of all that, he has the crowd getting on his back.

Like @Costock_Fox , I think it's entirely possible that Maddison is carrying an injury. I wouldn't say crocked, because I don't think he'd be playing if that were the case, but I do think he could be trying to play through it, nursing and protecting it.

 

IMO, there's too much missing from his game for it to be purely a mental thing. 

 

Either way, I think he needs some time out.

I wonder if we keep playing him in the hope he does something so we can shift him for decent money at the first opportunity. I got laughed at for saying we should take £50m in the summer, anyone turn this down now?

I think someone said he had the same type of hip injury as Andy Murray? I remember Andy talking about how whilst he could still (just about) run round the court, he needed help at times just to put his socks on. 

 

I know people are getting frustrated at him, but for me he's always been someone who has shown over the years he wants to improve and will work hard. It's clearly not happening for him right now, but I am sure there's no one more fed up and concerned by it all than he is. I do very much agree however that others need to be starting ahead of him right now.

no one in their right mind is offering £50m.

Woefully out of form, looks a shadow of a player from last season. The lad needs to be honest and admit he's probably not 100% with his hip and needs to get it right.

 

Totally understand if he's trying to manage the issue but its at a huge detriment to the overall performance of the team. 

We cannot allow him to derail our season.  I hope Brendan has woken up now

Then Arsenal is the only option.

Like Perez , he cannot be sold in current form without giving him away. We can carry on without them for the time being until they pull themselves together. My biggest worry is burnout in Tielemans and Ndidi . We need to think creatively to give them some down time.

Indeed. Hopefully Brendan has taken note, like to see Soumare/KDH start in a midfield three.

Me too.  Why isnt brendan curious? It could well be a revelation.

I have no idea what goes on on training...but the  measurement is what players produce in games.  Wishing it so wont make it so.... time to rest Maddison

I've not managed find the footage but at some point in the first 15 mins Maddison had a shot from outside the area, which was blocked and straight after he bent forward with his hands on his legs for about 5 seconds while the ball was still in play. Looked like striking the ball hard was causing him discomfort

I really like the lad but he's not having the same impact he had a couple of seasons ago - he's not reading the game quite as well, he's not as clinical. I still think he's a very valuable, very exciting player on his day. 

 

There was a moment, not long ago, when he seemed to be on the cusp of greatness: called up for England, the Prem's most creative player, better than Grealish. Its a shame for him, and us, that his promise hasn't quite paid off yet. Right now, I'm not sure now that giving him more and more gametime is necessarily doing him any good. It looks like he's where Nacho was a couple of seasons ago - we played him quite a bit but he was lacking confidence and edge.

 

Who knows what physical or mental state he's in, and I don't think his game is far away from a turnaround, but maybe he also needs to be competing more to get in the squad and maybe he needs a bit more recovery work.

Was a joke that Arsenal buy shit, I know we can’t sell him now.

Keep him out till he shows his old self during training ..  we have so many other players that could make a difference ..  Nacho is an obvious one or Daka or Soumare ..  the list goes on …

And Praet. We played some of the best football during first half of last season when Maddison was injured and Praet partnered Tielemans in midfield. Sadly, Rodgers’ insistence on Maddison has meant we have lost a great player in Praet.

This isn't going away. He's the operation that can be done to resolve it... 

 

He will never be the same player while constantly carrying the same issue.

Looking at that footage above is very worrying. He is clearly in a lot of pain and should be sidelined immediately. Hip injuries are notoriously difficult to heal.

Begs the question, why didn't he tell Rodgers before the match?. Is he trying to hide his problem ?
