Assuming he is still engaged with the clubs progress and is making improvements re his discipline then for me he's a player we can build upon for next year. Yesterday he showed more strength and urgency when holding the ball up, in addition to his continued excellence of understanding what is going on around him on the pitch blended with his quality control of the football. Can't really judge him too much on his finishing because as a team we generally don't create many chances. If he's here next year, it would be great to get players much closer to him. LW, Junho, Manhoef behind Mmaee could be quality next year. I would be very worried if that was our main attacking force next season. Bling hope and faith with Mmaee. He’s an awful striker. No brain at all, slow and lazy. Hopefully Turkey bound.

Has more genuine quality than most of the players in our squad combined. Unfortunately he’s spending a lot of time outside the box because if he gets in there he gets no service. We could have prime Shearer up top in this team and he’d struggle to get 10-15 goals in a season. Hope he stays (with the right attitude). Is the quality you talk of a flick here or there because I’ve seen nothing really. Doing the little tricks like you do on the school yard is nice but not quality.

I don't think he'll ever get more than 6/7 goals a season. And his passing isn't good enough. I would replace every senior striker at the club, none are prolific enough All our strikers are gash at this level. Need some searing pace and enthusiasm up top.

He does do a few of those yes but I was more talking about his ability to hold up the ball (unless it’s bombed up at him in the air), his ability to spot a pass and play it, and his general play. I rate him, and think in the right set up he would do really well. I think we forget this is his first season in England and at times he has definitely struggled with the physicality - so have Bae and Vidigal to be fair. I think you have to have a bit more about you than the odd flick here or there to make the Morocco squad which has some serious quality. Personally I hope he stays and starts to actually deliver some end product

Making improvements? He's a grown adult being paid thousands of pounds a week after we forked out millions of pounds to sign him. Making improvememts doesn't cut it in the slightest. Get that, but that's not generally how it works, even if that's the way we'd like it to be and also the way that feels reasonable. Unfortunately, the more guaranteed something is, the bigger likelihood someone is going to take it for granted. Add more money into that equation, all it does is exaggerate behaviour one way or the other. This is only a problem if it impacts others negatively in the short term. Changing behaviours and mindset can be harder to do than improving technique and fitness, so you need to give it time and be supportive of someone through it. That or lose all transfer value and still have to pay his wages... This is all true, but it’s this kind of thing that’s slowly putting me off football. These people are paid fortunes and often act like lazy spoiled crybabies. When there are people who afford to can’t feed their families properly, I find it hard to be empathetic. If a player doesn’t want to put in a shift then they can f*ck off for all I care.

Thought that was his best half since he joined. He's much stronger on the ball he's playing on the half turn. Held the ball up well and played 3 cracking balls to his strike partners.
It'll be just our luck he's out now with a hamstring or something.

A good footballer for sure, just needs the players around him to be more up to speed and he will be even better next season.
Very happy to see him back playing and playing well after the fall out.

Superb performance today. Some of his movement and football was a real joy. Their two meatheads at the back hadn't got a clue how to deal with him. Some of this lay offs and through balls were ridiculously good.
As I keep saying though, with two goalscorers out wide we'd be laughing.
As it is, we're frustrated and many are questioning his ability based on goals, which is just wrong with how we're set up.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/stoke-city-wba-live-stream-9205466Injury checks on Mmaee and Manhoef? Will they be ok for Wednesday? Schumacher: I'm not sure with Ryan Mmaee, his hamstring was tight so it's too early to say. Manhoef was more of a cramp situation, like Jordan Thompson right at the very end. They'll hopefully be fine, it was probably just tiredness for those two, but we're not sure on Ryan Mmaee. We'll have asssess that one.

That sounds like good news was fearing his season was over Presume he won't play at Swansea

He's a good footballer for sure and just like last week, he needed his teammates (haks) to look up for a tap in. The problem is all of the strikers being out of form at the same time. We only need one to start scoring for everything to become less selfish in the final third. We're just thirsty at the moment, understandably.

Decent again today.
He's taken longer than some of the other new arrivals to get used to the physicality of the league, but is holding his own on that front now. We've just not got enough goals in that front 4, even though 3 of them are good players. If Mmaee could learn how to finish we'd be really onto something with him (assuming he gets a new watch as well).

Need players on his wave length. Also takes the great players to settle up to 12 months. Think he will come good I'd keep him around next year.

He linked up well and was a real handful. I do think he need to get his shots away quicker, but he’s comfortably the best lone striker we have.

Good player 30 yards from goal. He's a decent 10 but needs to get 10 yards further forward and to get in to the box more to be a lone striker.
Had a good game today.

He's an excellent player but he ain't a striker. He's very good at getting others into goalscoring positions but he looks shit scared of them himself. He's way too ponderous and timid for a striker. I'm hoping it's just a matter of confidence and he can bring this into his game at some point.
