Mayenda discussion thread

Yeah mate they both played well. However he should of got 1 or 2 against Stoke so it’s hit n miss

Young player in missing chances shocker

Hes not the best mind. None of our forwards are. Need to get a goal scorer this month.

He's 19 years of age man you absolute knacker. This is the problem with the Internet it allows people like you free reign

True. Like all players who are exciting to watch, he's a bit frustrating sometimes. I think he's shown enough raw potential and his finishing will get better as he gets more experience.

 

[Blyth]

And, as others have pointed out, 19 years old. Far from the finished article, but clearly has potential.

And he’s only player 7 as a striker and he’s only started 13 games.

We can’t keep saying “they are kids” “17,19” etc

They are good enough to be wearing the shirt so age shouldn’t matter.

We need a poacher, someone who’s gonna be there on the 6 yard line for tap ins

I don't really think we create that many chances where its a tap in to be honest.

He’s dangerous thru the middle but his finishing is average at best, maybe consistency is not realistic but a goal every 15 games isn’t good enough

We can keep saying they are kids when they are kids

Alright calm down lad.

Aye makes no difference. He’s decent, that’s about it. Doesn’t get in a fully fit starting 11

Why can't we keep saying what's true?

19 or 90 years old, he’s a professional footballer. He’s missed 2 sitters in 3 days that’s arguably cost us 5 points.

Never kicked a ball in his life. ^

Very loose use of stats there to prove your point. A few of those appearances were from the bench and out wide

 

[SR2]

Because these “kids” are good enough. Catch 22. They are all quality “kids” and all have grown into men this season

You see Haaland miss a pen the other day?

But they're still young and learning. That doesn't change because we play them regularly
They're learning on the job

True and fair point.

Still need a propper number 9 though.

He's dangerous through the middle but his finishing is average at best?

So what would your solution be? Don't play him at the moment? Bin him off?

 

[Rocky77]

True and fair point.

We maybe do but he was very good tonight and it's very promising to have a young player play so well and score

 

[Crispy32]

As much as I give him shite for missing the chances in the last game, Mayenda was mint tonight.

 

[SR2]

class 3 points, class overall. Not slagging him off, done the job tonight just doesn’t get a start in a fully fit squad

 

[OtLeYmAcKeM]

Had my heart in my mouth once he went through on goal, another fluffed chance might have been difficult for him to recover from, so I definitely celebrated that one a bit extra.

Absolutely chuffed to bits for the lad, just watched his interview, seems a genuinely great kid, as they all do to be fair.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

By the way what a first touch by him. Makes the goal

As well as his second. Compare that to Boxing Day when he took a third comfort touch and lost the chance. I wonder if they have had him practising going through one-on-one?
