Mum knows her shit:
Why does he have Micky VDV's shorts on
Mum knows her shit:
Today was him at his best, good passes, work rate and defensively very good. Needs to put the same effort in every week if he wants to shut people upExceptional today. His ability to best people in tight spaces made a huge difference and he seemed to enjoy playing from the left.
I don’t like his post match interview though. Kept going on about shutting people up and people not seeing beyond goals and assists. Suggests to me a camp that is irritated by the criticism. I know some will make them absolutely right but as fans we have every right to criticise whilst we support and no I’m not talking about trolls on twitter or instagram. If madders had played like this the whole time he would be smashing it and probably be in the England first XI let alone the squad.
I love Ange, I love an in form madders but I don’t think a lot of the criticism has been unfounded.
The criticism has been over the top only a month into the season. We have a very fragile fanbase. I think it needs to be said tbh. We can't keep flipping from one emotion to another. It doesn't help the players at all. Criticism is fine at times but it doesn't take much for sections of our fans to get on their backs.Exceptional today.

He played all over , but did most of his best work from the left side particularly in the 1st half .For those of us who weren't there - where did he play/how did he combine with Deki in the middle? Presume Bentancur was the deepest of the three, but how about those two?
Would love it if he and Deki formed a good creative pair in the middle

Yep was just about to post this.It was quite interesting because today I think Maddison was pulling wider to the left quite often and Son was drifting in to more central areas quite regularly. It seemed like a deliberate tactical tweak and it worked well.
the criticism has been over the top generally, just seems to be how our fans respond to a run of poor results or things not happening for us. Understandable in the broader context of lack of trophies, etc. In saying that, criticism on madders has not been over the top - he's got by with a very long run of poor games and general poor play since he returned from injury last season. This season, yes its been small sample of games but he was nowhere the the standard he showed today. Don't think it's fair to say fans have got on his back unnecessarily at all.The criticism has been over the top only a month into the season. We have a very fragile fanbase.

He hasn't been as bad as made out. He's had the odd poor performance but actually not had any poor ones yet this season. He's largely been having 7/10 performances. Certainly not a very long game run of poor games. It's just another exaggeration.the criticism has been over the top generally, just seems to be how our fans respond to a run of poor results or things not happening for us.

We all want to see the madders that showed up today - he absolutely bossed the game and showed his quality, class and top mindset for the entire game. It's the first time he's showed this since those first 10 games last season. He was my MotM today and long may be continue as when he plays like this, he lifts his teammates and the fans
let's agree to disagree - we didn't buy him to pass sideways game after game. not sure how he rated 7/10 with very little output - he must've passed your eye test but clearly didn't escape many others. He has been ponderous in all games this season - he's seen a lot of the ball but did nothing with it. No shots, no chances created, nothing. Until todayHe hasn't been as bad as made out. He's had the odd poor performance but actually not had any poor ones yet this season. He's largely been having 7/10 performances. Certainly not a very long game run of poor games. It's just another exaggeration.
Probably his best performance for us. Thought he was exceptional.
