Maddison

[casablancas]

Seems to have really grown and matured looking at recent performances. Build the team around him.

Eloquent and honest. He just loves playing football, no matter who for. He'd say similar if it were Mansfield Town or Manchester United. Don't think it'll be us for much longer, sad to say.

As an aside, YouTube is shit. Buffering to the max.

I can see him staying,more so if he at least gets a nod from Southgate.

I have always liked the lad.. found him honest up front on quirks..

media and dozos , some on FT try to use their dark opinions to judge others

For the love of God, stop playing Madders on the right. Just stifles our most creative player.

Yep Rodgers seems to think he's a luxury player in the 10 position, Tielemans has been so poor recently, but seems untouchable.

Hoping the sale of Tielemans and bringing in a RM stops that 

[foxinsocks]

he was better to day - I slate haem when he goes awol but to day he was ok.

[funkyrobot]

Anyone got a clip of him giving poor old ‘assistant to the referee and part time full back’ Ashley Young ‘twisted blood’ on the edge of the area in the first half? That was the highlight of the game. 

[RowlattsFox]

Yes position doesn't help but thought he was terrible on the ball today.

if we are going to play Maddison wide right then we NEED to start Ricardo

Or, we should just play him in his strongest position.

 

You know, like we did earlier in the season when he was scoring and assisting for fun?

[Hammo]

Seeing Maddison forced to hug the right touchline when we know how creative and dangerous he is through the middle is actually quite depressing - almost as if he is being punished somehow.

 

Against Roma on Thursday he has to play in his proper position. Preferably with Vardy and Iheanacho as a twin spearhead in front of him. Our season is on the line. We have to be brave and attack Roma from the start. Maddison being used where he plays his best football is imperative if we are to have a chance of reaching the final.

I'm all for dropping Tielemans and doing that but Rodgers won't

On recent form, 100%

 

Or rotating KDH, Maddison and Youri.

 

At least he'll be central against Roma, with Youri dropping deep, purely by default as we don't have a recognised CDM available in Europe.

Lightweight stuff.  Loves snooker but admits Vardy is the badass at it.

Felt like he wasn't himself today. Overthinking and back to his old ways of holding onto the ball for too long. Several occasions in the 2nd half where he can release it quicker or put it into the box. 

 

Hope we have a top performer back next week. Will need him. 

[StanSP]

Not sure what the above means. I thought he had a good game. 

 

Literally the only blot from today was not squaring to Barnes just outside the 6 yard box when we had lots of pressure on them. 

[splinterdream]

I thought madders played well, played all around the 18yd box making opportunities and having a go himself 

[Manini]

When fully fit he is a fine, fine player. I say fully fit because I do believe his injury was holding him back end of last and start of this season. He’s been a class above since just before Christmas/October time. 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Playing with confidence today, shame he didn't square it to Barnes but when you've scored the goals he has,he's earned the right to go for goal. 

[Tielemans63]

Didn't have his best game but still absolutely class. Let's not be getting on his back after one average performance, jeez.

[Ric Flair]

Only error tonight was holding on to the one he should have squared to Barnes for a great chance to go 2-1 up, but holding on to it he then slipped as he hit yet another shot with his left foot.

 

Some wild shots elsewhere but those he had every right to take on as he's so dangerous from there.

 

Was so pleasing to see him back involved more. Huge game for him next week, he'll be primed.

[filbertway]

1 tame shot on target out of about 11 attempts and an unbelievable decision to shoot instead of squaring to Barnes. Tidy on the ball (but you know, this is a bare minimum expecation of a player of his talent), but not a good game from James tonight. I like that he's willing to have a pop, but to miss to badly and so often, you've got to be marked down for it. Another night he'd have his eye in early and probably have a couple of goals.

i think you can argue he has the right definitely, but i think a truly quality player there spots barnes, squares it and sets the team into the second leg 2-1 up. 

 

im a fan and think he had a good game, but you've got to be making the right decision there.
