Mayenda discussion thread

Southern Monkey said:
I’m not sure he’s overly talented? He’s quick but when presented with key moments in games, and let’s not get away from scoring goals is utterly fundamental, he shows a lack of talent. If we don’t win today once again people will point back to the lad being on his own with all the time in the world 6 yards out and he’s had a horrible slash at the ball and has failed to hit the target.

He is 19.
It's not just pace he has it's positioning timing etc. Etc. And skill.

The fact he lacks a bit of composure at times (he also does score goals) is neither here nor there.
Players develop- composure often comes with experience. Especially considering it's a mental attribute, not s physical one.
 

Him and Isidor as a pair is developing nicely. Great assist for Mayenda today. He certainly has something. They must be a nightmare to play against.

His finishing is a worry but as a pair they look dangerous.

no worse than Roberts' to be fair.

Needs to calm down in front of goal but hopefully he will get there
 
Literally has zero composure. He's a hard f***ing watch.

Always feel he could make something happen or balls up an easy chance. Proper peaks and troughs watching him 😅

If he’s hoping to make it as a no9 id certainly expect he’s aiming to have better finishing than Paddy, as that’s a very low bar.

Agree I hope he gets there too, theres a lot to like about him.
 
Did ok today. Good assist. Could’ve had 2 goals for himself again though comfortably. If we don’t win that game then he would be getting barrages of abuse tonight

Thought he did okay today in fairness. Few blocked shots. A shot cleared off the line. Right foot into the side netting was poor but strikers will have poor shots. Thought Isidor was just as wasteful aside from his goal.

Think isidor looked sharp. Great goal. Another nice goal that was just offside, and then a whisker away from paddy roberts lay off.
 
He is raw and lacks composure but is only 19. His movement has improved but needs to work on his finishing for sure
 
I thought he had a decent game today, he’s very erratic obviously snd once he sees the shite of the keepers eyes he panicked but he defo causes a lot of trouble when he partners Isidore up top.
Fortunately we Ron or I suspect he’d have gotten a bit shit for the missed chances. Hopefully he can start to calm down a hit and keeps improving with us!
 
Raw but has bags of potential, he starts finishing those chances & we have a player on our hands
Needs to spend his time on the training pitch just concentrating on how to finish

His final ball is shocking. Players like him anf sheesh are hit and hope when we get them. Not sure on him he seems slow when its not an instinctive decision.

The lads a player. Raw and relatively nexperienced but will definitely get better over time.

He's a constant goal threat and once he improves his conversion rate, he'll be class for us. I'd worry more if he wasn't getting in the positions to score e.g. Burstow or some of the others we've had.

If you've ever played football you'll know that finishing can't be learned, you either have it or you don't, it's an instinct more than anything. Mayenda doesn't have it.

That’s not his first good assist. Bit of work on that right foot and a tad more composure and we have a real player on our hands. I bet sheff utd and Portsmouth fans rate him and shat themselves every time he got on the ball. He is a real threat.
