Always looking to pass the ball forward in the first half and does link up play well . Second half as the game became stretched he lost his way a bit which was surprising as when he comes on late in games he looks half decent .

The Jury's still out, we all want our players to do well but if what we are seeing now is it I would sell . Needs to improve

And we still need a striker

Agreed! Love him. Alwasys looking to pass forward. He should be in every game, either as a starter or a sub.

I don’t think it’s about us having patience with him, I think it’s about him having patience with us. He’s a decent player and, personally, I’d mould the team around him if, as expected, we lose Zaha.
You suggest we could get 10m for him and buy another for 15m. Appreciate he’s on a decent salary but if the difference in salaries is, say, £50k a week it would still take 2 years before it reached parity and we saw the benefit of selling him for £10m and bringing in someone untested at £15m.

a lot of times he has seemed to run into dead ends, get a bit isolated and then run in a right handed circle into another dead end - he's doing this less now, and turning defence into attack with a pleasing regularity, Roy turned it round last season playing Luka deep and Schlupp and McArthur as sort of left and right inside forwards, Myer might suit our system best if he played in that slightly advanced narrow right side of midfield role that JimmyMac played last season.

Why would he have patience with us??

I can pretty much 100% say that a player like Ryan Christie who scores or assists in every match for Celtic (though a lower level, he's still young and will surely make it in the PL) would do more than Max. It's easy to do more than a player who has contributed no goals or assists and has hardly played 250 minutes this season. For 5 million? Yes, I'd make that exchange.

Team needs goals more than anything. Waiting for Meyer indefinitely or building the team around Meyer, Benteke, Wickham, Schlupp and even Townsend with his current form shows us that our attacking options are pretty horrible. In my humble opinion, we should be more demanding from out players. Saying that we could mold the team around him Meyer after a year and a half here in which he hasn't proven anything is fantasy. There's been plenty of time. Let's not simply accept mediocrity from players.

You have a chance- take it or move on.

He looked unfit today. He needs game time if you ask me or sell and get yet another functional/box2box midfielder. Sigh
