Bloody Josh Maja

[Lionel Perezs Razor]

my frustration with Maja is that he seems to miss the "easy" chances.

Bloke next to me is at it every game. ‘All he does is score goals. Take away his goals and he does nothing.’ He should play for the Mags, they love their strikers. I hate them me. Scoring bloody goals all the time

Aye, he's no Stefan Guivarch

 

[ProfessionalMackem]

What?

 

[PhilSAFC]

What?

That’s shite

 

[ProfessionalMackem]

That’s shite

I didn't bloody invent it mate.

Apparently it's a very good tool. Tool for what I'm not sure.

Whoever came up with that acronym is a tool

 

[Rottie]

All his goals are great finishes. He looks very out of place in this league!

the control and finish last night were top notch.

really surprised me by how much he's come on from last season.

 

[manamamackem]

People love slagging off strikers. We wouldn't miss Grabban last year because he 'only scores goals'. People were genuinely ringing up phone ins after he scored just to slag him off for not winning headers.



Shane Long can't score goals so doesn't get games anymore

Really boiled my piss, the reasons why people were slagging off Graban, too mate. Can't blame the poor fucker for wanting to get away!

 

[Durhamish]

Pisses me right off like

I’d rather him run around and try hard but not score.

Who does he think he is scoring goals as a striker and helping us to second in the league.

I’d rather be miserable and be 19th

 

[Beaverbrooke]

Not content with upsetting the xg stattos .

Maguire is worse, he scored a goal that only had a 3% chance of going in I believe.
Not the only time he's done this I believe.
Has he no regard for xg and the sanctity of stats!

 

[ErichZann]

Messi just stands still for most of the game too.

 

[Herberthall]

Maja isn't a good footballer I'm afraid Apart from having a very good touch, getting into great positions in the box and unfortunately scoring goals.

 

[DurhamRifleman]

People who were slagging him off last night soon crawled back under their rocks after he scored.

 

[Millhouse]

Some of our fans think running about a lot or getting 'stuck in' makes a good performance.

The same people would have voted for Phil Bardsley to be player of the year a few years back.

Who did you vote for that year?

 

[stephen cartwright]

Not content with upsetting the xg stattos by scoring loads of goals, it appears that he's doing it without 'trying hard and running his nuts off', which has infuriated some Sunderland supporters, as this goes against their ideology of industrious mediocrity. Will he never learn?


White text: I'm taking the piss, I bloody love the bloke.

I’m not happy, xg said 2-1

scores no tap-ins ! JR should scour the globe for a tap-in coach

 

[Charmless Man]

That’s precisely what he doesn’t do often according to xG. It’s just that when he does he tends to f***ing nail it.

Tin hat on like but has that even been suggested much most the criticism I have seen has been on his overall game, movement and hold up play especially. Imo that is poor at the moment and needs massive work. The lad is a fantastic finisher there is no doubt about that at all but it is allowed to say he needs to improve some aspects if he is to make it at a higher level.

 

[Pilot Light]

really surprised me by how much he's come on from last season.

All ifs and buts but would have been interesting to see who would have been 1st choice/who would have developed more/how JR would have accommodated them both had Joel Asoro decided to pledge his future here.

Will also be very interesting to see how both their future careers pan-out given Asoro was judged the better prospect last season by most/Maja has improved his game thanks to the opportunity to play regular football.

Asoro would have been ahead of Maja i would imagine. Don't think we even intended to start Maja at all but with Wyke being injured pre season it was forced upon us.
