0.56 goals + assists per 90 going into yesterday. I shudder to think what it is now

I remember you posing on august 30th in the deadline day thread that you thought he’d do “canny”I told everyone Mayenda is going to come good this season

1 poor performance next game and he'll be shite again by the same posters

I think it would be easier to coach Mayenda into playing the role Rigg has been doing than vice versa.
He’s not gonna be the best midfielder ever but against the weaker teams, especially at home, we’ve got to find a way of getting them both on the pitch.
He's very good on the ball imo (not all the time obviously). He's played some outstanding weighted through balls, some wonderful longer cross field passes. Happy to receive the ball in ridiculously tight positions on the touch line and not only keep the ball in play but also then somehow get through and past players. Got a wand of a left foot but seems comfortable with the right also.

Our out of possession shape is often 4-4-2 so it would fit that
The issue would be games where we’re getting a lot of the ball, I think le Bris likes 3 in the middle to help control the game
We’d probably lose the ball more but might find we stretch the game more as well. It would require both Isidor and Mayenda being alert to when to drop deeper to pick up the ball and turn and either run or pass.
For what it’s worth, I’d be up for trying it against the right oppo
Circa 0.65 I think

Totally agree mate. He looks awkward but he’s remarkably successful at both winning and keeping the ball under pressure and as you say he’s played some high quality passes at times such as the link up with Wilson. If anything was missing in his game it was his finishing, but that looks like it’s improving now. Hopefully last night paves the way to seeing more of him and Wilson on the pitch together as I think we are better that way.
Loving watching this lads development. His passion and attitude is infectious.
He reminds me at times of Gyan. Powerful footballer with pace and a very good touch

I didn’t see yesterday but have seen his goals. I think his best game of the season was as far back as Burnley at home. Those 2 CBs just bounced off him. He’s Raw but he’s a handful. Said loads on here that he reminds me of Antonio at West Ham. Willing runner. Strong as an ox. Will miss sitters, not prolific but chips in. Scares defences.

It’s a dereliction of duty playing him out wide. For his age he’s been brilliant.

They just played his highlights on Sky and boy does he have quick, skillful feet. His acceleration is explosive.
Got a player on our hands here.
The burst of pace down the right after initially slowing down was something else. Change of pace is a real killer for defenders.

He's a much better version of Kimpioka or whatever he was called. The one that started getting labelled with the "raw" bullshit.
