Yea he’s certainly got the ability. He’s the one you will expect to pick out our runners but there were multiple runs made by Werner and Son last night completely ignored again similar to the last couple of games. He’s holding on to the ball too long making meaningless turns in the middle of the park that ended up with the ball going back to our CB. He should and needs to be doing better.Oo I dunno about that mate he’s picked many a beautiful pass over the years and for us and England I think saying his vision isn’t great is a bit harsh
Lo Celso and PEH are most likely off on the summer.Was does he keep starting him ? Why not give Lo Celso a go ? Maddison needs to feel the pressure of someone wanting his place in the team.
Because he’s much better than Lo Celso and needs game time to get back to his bestWas does he keep starting him ? Why not give Lo Celso a go ? Maddison needs to feel the pressure of someone wanting his place in the team.
It's probably an unpopular opinion on here but on current form I don't think there's space for him in the squad. Bellingham and Foden are clearly ahead of him and Palmer is currently in much better form.I, unfortunately, think he is going to be one of the big names to miss out on the Euros squad.
I agree. Makes more sense to have Foden & Palmer as back ups for a Bellingham as well as being options out wide.I, unfortunately, think he is going to be one of the big names to miss out on the Euros squad.

There is probably a fitness/match sharpness issue but I also feel like there might be a little bit of him feeling like he’s undroppable. Which he is for Ange it seems. To me that is never a good thing, no player should feel like they are always guaranteed a spot. Idk maybe the amount of praise he got from the first half of the season caused him to be a little too relaxed or maybe it is just as simple as him not feeling 100% physically comfortable. Hard to tell.
In General it seems to take him more time to decide what to do with the ball which didn’t feel like the case at the start of the season. His passing in general is a lot looser than it used to be. That is obviously amplified by Gio whos game in general is more revolved around fast one touch passes to open up gaps.
I’m not particularly worried at all tho as it’s fairly common for a player’s form to dip during a season and he was playing at an extremely high level at the start. It was always going to be hard to maintain that level especially with his injuries but there is no reason he can’t get back to it. That being said I do think it might be worth starting him from the bench for a match or two to see if that pushes him to up his game.
It’s a shame Ange doesn’t seem trust Gio enough to start him over Maddison as I would say based on both of their current forms he deserves it. I just hope over summer we bring in a AM who Ange will trust to regularly rotate with Maddison if his form where to dip again.

Starting to get a bit narked off with him. Two weeks in a row he should've been off because of stupid petulant actions - the sort of shit we thought he'd moved past. Needs dropping.
