Maxi Rodriguez

[Lee]

I would be gutted if he went in January, or even in the summer.

He's easily a £10m player. Can't believe he hasn't had a sniff in the league this season.

Maxi makes things happen.

Maxi makes things happen.

And is capable of getting 10+ goals a season, especially with how we play.

Kenny has used him brilliantly over the last few days given how its worked out, hopefully in the team regularly for our run of games now.

[Darkon]

it's a wonder he doesn't play more, one of the most intelligent players we have in our team. Good at getting chances, plays well with the team and quite composed in front of goal.

Hope we start using him in the league now !

If he plays regularly he is.

Three in six so far this season I think.

And it was ten in 27 last year too. Not bad for a squad player.

Apart from the goal he wasn't great but when you're popping up with a goal every game, the rest of your game doesn't matter so much.

I can see why Kenny's not starting him week in week out, but as the goals add up, it must be giving him one hell of a selection headache. A nice one to have after our rubbish bench for most of last season.

[yamiedo]

He'll be playing a bigger role now I think. I think Kenny has been slightly stubborn up till now, playing his big signings a bit too much. There should be more rotation and Maxi should be a part of that.

[BootRoom]

Goals change the complexion of games in many cases, and he's always liable to get one or contribute to one.

[Nick77]

This is one of the few major gripes I have with Kenny - he keeps giving Donkey Downing chance after chance when he does absolutely nothing to influence a game. Then the likes of Maxi & Bellamy come along & really influence our attacking game BIG TIME, yet they only really play in the Worthnothington Cup ffs!

[Darkon]

Downing might not have had the influence we all hoped as of yet, but he is not donkey ffs. He is agile, quick good technique he is the exact opposite of a donkey. That type of label on a player befits the complete opposite type of player.

Downing have the talent needed, and IMO have been plain unlucky not to have scored 2-3 goals for us by now and if we actually had a composed clinical striker he would have had a lot of assists by now ( I know it's a lot of if's )

[BigChief]

Its not surprising Maxi had a 'quieter' game, he didn't have the players around him that make him tick. Had Suarez, Adam and Agger instead of Carra been playing he would have been used a lot more. Not a criticism on Kenny, he got it spot on yet again yesterday, just saying at least Maxi knows where to pop up for goals even in these types of games.

And more importantly keeping composure during the only shot on target you're likely to get. Priceless commodity.

[Neil Young]

I just watched most of the match and, based on what I saw, my considered opinion is that Maxi is at least as short as Spearing.

[Shaggy]

Can't get on our bench but is back in the Argentina squad

[Phoenix07]

Ahead of Lavezzi too.
