No. Early doors he was one of the few saving graces in a team and Club decimated by Ashley and Bruce’s incompetence. Under Steady Eddie he hasn’t sparkled so much primarily due to injury and illness. He is an absolute natural footballer who in his early part of his English career has suffered as a consequence of Bruce’s inadequacies as a manager and coach. He is an uncut diamond and I’ll give him time to learn and improve under Howe who from a tactical aspect seems to know what he’s doing. It may not work but he has the potential if he is coached properly and he is prepared to learn to be a top class PL player.
Better under Bruce? Why because Howe wants the other lads to be able to play and max can't play as a team? So you agree he isn't that good because he falls short in most areas of the game and you agree he's been playing badly. All the ifs and buts we can talk about all day long mate, but he's not playing well and shouldn't start because not only is he not playing well he's unfit, lazy and selfish.
If max didnt happen to be in the air he could've broken his leg.. I'm getting a little fed up with this poor old everton ****e.
correct and this is why the 'intent ' part became Law there for the grace of God Maxi's foot wasn't planted as he would have snapped his ankle
For me it was always a red no doubt about it. Can’t understand how jumping/diving in the air with two feet off the ground with the deliberate and obvious intent of stopping the opposition player no matter what and catching him could be anything other than a red card.
Max has been poor you're making excuses gut him because like him . You didn't make excuses for Joelinton though did you? He's been poor mate you're agreeing
It was only not given because Max was, effectively, only 'tripped'. If as you say he had his feet planted, he'd have broken his ankle. The thing that remains unexplained is the Chelsea penalty. Have they come out and defended that yet? Or have they hidden away under this Allan decision?
It isn’t making excuses. The world isn’t black and white only. Also I’m not agreeing with you. What part of he was one of the “few saving graces” tells you I agree with you? or, which bit of he’s been injured and ill tells you I’m agreeing with you? I didn’t make excuses for Joe as was bad and was fit and wasn’t injured and played poorly for a long time. When he improved I said so or do you want me to refer you to the thread I posted?
Then your mistake is not knowing my position in the 1st place which is that he's not playing well and doesn't deserve to start. Joelinton was playing well before Howe came along.. He was one of the better players but fans like you had sunk your teeth in.(! Much like me with Fraser) Anyway you agree with me and you've also confirmed you criticise players for not playing well. I do we all do, but for some reason lover boys can't accept max getting any
Keep up at the back. https://www.not606.com/threads/humble-pie.397143/ Or just continue to ignore everything that anyone says which doesn’t suit your narrative.
So you admit you criticised him... Yet you have an issue with max being told he's ****e at the things he is actually ****e at? Weird
