After his magic in the cup last season, I think some of us got carried away with what Mainoo actually is. Our young midfielder has plenty going for him, however we now have to be realistic and talk about his weaknesses, as there are a fair few:
From a defensive perspective, he’s lacking
From an athletic perspective, he’s lacking
From a positional perspective, he’s lacking
From a tactical perspective, he’s lacking
It’s important to remember that we finished 8th last season and were truly atrocious, so was Mainoo actually ever that good? Or did he look good for a poor side?? Either way I think he could find himself struggling for game time under Amorim.
I fear that, from a tactical perspective, he won’t be versatile enough for what Amorim needs. A loan to someone like Palace, Brentford or dare I say Sunderland in The Championship could be a great move for him whilst he gains more experience.
As for today? Unacceptable performance and result. Nothing else to say.
Mainoo Becoming An Issue?

Not my opinion though is it? Just an article reflecting how football felt about him six months ago.

Funny, I could have sworn it was you and not football that wrote the article. There were no quotes from football so it must have been your opinion.
