Macheda

Sun Oct 25, 2015 10:36 am

Got quality, given the chances will score goals quality finisher imo and lots of potential. Needs to up his workrate and keep fit.

Where do you see macheda fitting in this team?
Could he partner saadi up top if saadi stays fit?
Could he be our number 9 striker and partner mason?

Opinions?

I think when fit he's an awesome player

Jones out Macheda first choice

Mason or the A N Other Slade is talking about partnering him.

Not sure how we can comment on Saadi without seeing him, Cornelius springs to mind :oops:

Ameobi looks as though he needs a 433 manager and he ain't got one here.

How can anyone who watched Macheda last season think he is "the answer" :shock:

He makes Kenwyn look like a workhorse :lol: :lol:

He will get a goal or two but offers very little else and that simply isn't what would work the way this team is set up. He would be a nice option off the bench though :thumbright:

He's lazy but the only real striker in our team with a genuine eye for goal.
He went on a run last season with a decent goal per game, then picked up an injury.
I'd have him in the team.

work horse don't win you games, goals do, and this lad has the knack.....

I think he isn't the bravest of lads and his size counts against him as he is not hard enough to be the target man everyone assumes him to be. He wants it to feet and that's what we are doing this season.

We still need a burner in the team so i would sacrifice Mason or Pilkington and play a 433 with Ameobi Macheda and Noone (if we didn't get anyone else in) and Ralls, Whitts and Digachoi in a 3

But until Christmas i would keep our current super cautious set up.

Dear God, did you actually watch this guy last year????

Lazy, Gutless and pointless

Wins nothing in the air... shits out of every 50/50 challenge...unable to hold the ball up..doesn't run the channels ..doesn't track back ...pushed off the ball with ease etc etc etc

he is NOT the answer..never has been never will be !!!!!

Hopefully when fully fit we will finally see the best of him and who knows slade could get his head on it and bring out the best of him too.

If macheda had the chances mason has had this year he would easily be on more goals than mason, maybe the chances were creating and football we are playing will suit macheda better

How do we know if he can partner Saadi, no one has seen him play.

Kenwyne Jones is our best striker. Whoever plays with him, has to depend on if they fit in with him.

Yeh kenwynne been on fire this season with his 2 goals to his name.

If saadi becomes fit i think he will be better than kenwynne, i also prefer macheda to kenwynne because he knows how to shoot properly unlike kenwynne who cant shoot for toffee ive seen players in the welsh league with more composure in front of goal than kenwynne.

If the midfield can give him the right service i think we got a 15 goal striker the guy definitely knows where the back of the net is just needs to up his workrate and fitness :ayatollah:

Re: Macheda

Macheda ,like Jones, is very lazy. He is also our best finisher. We have no good all-round strikers at all. I'm just hoping Saadi doesn't end up as another Velikonja!

You're judging that on stats, not actually going by the effect he has in match play.

He often frees up space for other players, purely because of his presence.

Notice how we haven't scored a goal of our own since Kenwyne last played?

Agree but Kenwyne does make space for other strikers.

Yeh fair point. We are missing kenwynne at the moment but i think we could be better with saadi or macheda in his place
