sage Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He is a consistently good player and yesterday's showing was as a result of not being isolated and overwhelmed in CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPRamFan Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He's always been a great player, only limted by playing as a deep lying midfielder in the 4231 we've played the last 3 seasons. Hopefully now the shackles are off. jono, Crewton, Premier ram and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichram Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 What a difference that was! I always remember when he and Knight were starting to get game time under Cocu and they combined for Knight to score against Charlton (just as Rooney joined as a player). Hopefully now Max can become that awesome modern midfielder that we knew he was capable of being. The second goal yesterday exemplifies what I mean. Keep this up young man. Great performance. Brilliant to see. Ted McMinn Football Genius, angieram, RoyMac5 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinhectoring Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 All credit to PW. There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing fine player playing in the wrong position. We’ve seen it with Knight, Sibley, Bird - all youngsters who should be improving rapidly. If you get your 3 or 4 best players playing in their best positions surely that’s better than ramming them into some system or other. Build the system around your best players. Onwards ...

Donegal Ram Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Over the past 18 months or so I have been one of Birds biggest critics partly due to the system and position he was playing. Started when he was playing alongside Rooney and felt the need to pass to him constantly, hence why Rooney called him out to be excellent. He slowly turned into this safe, less aggressive, playing on a possession based system that simply passed him by. Thank the Lord that this new system is allowing him to make an impact on the game. Long may it continue. Well done for yesterday Max. norwichram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 For that second goal he won the ball deep in their half, ran to the edge of their box and got it back then played a delicious little disguised pass after half feigning to shoot that took out two of their defenders. Superb. Don't worry folks, Warne knows how good he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Really excited now to see how good he can become. Unpopular opinion? - was never gonna happen under Rosenior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 What a lovely Sunday with happy memories of yesterday - but best for me was seeing Max looking happy to be playing again. He and Knighty looked so happy at the end. Angie is right he needs a catchy snappy song sharpish angieram and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKANorwichExile Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 He was everywhere. The biggest and best change for me was building from the back. Wildsmith either quickly rolled it out to Bird if he was deep enough, or got it down field. No sideways passing from CB to CB forcing Birdy to come back to start every move. I really think this will be his breakout year. He's so much more than a defensive midfield kicker. That switch pass for the 2nd was glorious.

Had the vision to wait for Collins’ run off towards the bye line, the composure to keep the ball and draw all 3 defenders in, then the skill to slide the pass in with the sweetest weight and timing all with 3 desperate defenders nipping his ankles. Loved it. Thought the angle was too tight for Collins, but he’s a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
