Edmonton Saint Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Waste of a squad space. Would rather see Seager or McQueen or some other young striker on the bench. He has done the sum part of zero in his Saints career.
david in sweden Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Apparantly, was good in the African tournament that brought him to everyone's attention.... but one good season doesn't make a career, as we have seen many times before. ....and we need a longer term solution for him, as we gave him a 5 year contract at the start.....and there are 3 years left.
Stu Man Do Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Thought it was a mistake to bring him on as I don't think I've ever seen him do anything positive. Long at the time was best attacking player for us. Would far rather see a game for Seager (sp?)
Nolan Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Waste of a squad space. Would rather see Seager or McQueen or some other young striker on the bench. He has done the sum part of zero in his Saints career. Apart from, obviously, do enough in training for Koeman to select him over others.
Pat from Poole Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He looks to me like he should be playing for a team like Walsall or Crawley.
rooney Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Regretably, the lad is not good enough at this level.
S-Clarke Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Looks like a poor version of Antonio, no joke either. Just horrific.
eddie Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He is absolutely shocking. this. like I posted on the arsenal reaction thread: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/players/profile.statistics.html/emmanuel-mayuka#clubsTabsAttacking 0 goals, 0 assists, 7 shots, 3 offsides in 15 appearances. I find him just utterly underwhelming...I know we had injuries last night so fair enough but more generally I do feel he's very fortunate to be able to sit on the bench against arsenal and city
Lighthouse Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 I don't really get why Koeman sent him on and wasted our last sub. I know he couldn't have predicted Toby's injury but that is always the risk when you use all three subs. I would only use the third sub if you needed to make a definite, game changing decision or maybe if the game is already beyond doubt. To waste it on a nothing sub like Mayuka just seems odd when we were on course for a pretty decent point.
Bucks Saint Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Been saying for some time now that he is the current version of Nicky Banger, but on reflection Banger was always played through the middle and hence did not weaken midfield, so I am being unfair (to him)
KMondo Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Been saying for some time now that he is the current version of Nicky Banger, but on reflection Banger was always played through the middle and hence did not weaken midfield, so I am being unfair (to him) Bizarre comparison. Banger scored a few goals and generally made a positive contribution during his time here.
Bucks Saint Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Bizarre comparison. Banger scored a few goals and generally made a positive contribution during his time here. Huge pace, lack of control with and without the ball, sorry if that does not seem familiar. Agree he scored a couple, hence I was being a little unfair, but it was 9 goals in 5 years
Mowgli Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He's only 22. The coaches obviously see something in training. Never really gets more than a cameo so whilst I'm not that impressed it's premature to write him off. Lambert has looked no better in the first 6 or 7 games for Liverpool.
Sour Mash Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He's only 22. The coaches obviously see something in training. Never really gets more than a cameo so whilst I'm not that impressed it's premature to write him off. Lambert has looked no better in the first 6 or 7 games for Liverpool. Lambert has looked much better. Mayuka has been with us for over two years and not shown a single decent display in a competitive match. 22 is reasonably young, but he's not an 18 year old kid, should expect to see him hitting his prime soon.
S-Clarke Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He's only 22. The coaches obviously see something in training. Never really gets more than a cameo so whilst I'm not that impressed it's premature to write him off. Lambert has looked no better in the first 6 or 7 games for Liverpool. I don't think it's premature what so ever, as has been said he's been here for coming up 3 years now. The criticism of Mane is premature, and he's already shown more in his first few games than Mayuka has ever shown for us. Mayuka actually went out on loan to a relegated (I think?) French side last year, and didn't do anything - was just a bench player for them most of the time. He's been given an opportunity with us this season, but it's not going to happen. His touch isn't tight enough, his awareness isn't good enough, his technique isn't anywhere near good enough for this level. He was a poor signing for us, and if I remember rightly...a NC signing at the time, as he brokered the deal to avoid agent involvement.
Hatch Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 he's looking like a kid that is brought on for the last 5 mins of a charity game or something. Might as well bring on Mitchell Le Tissier ( or whatever his name is )
LostBoys Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Very poor - I would have preferred a midfield option like Harrison Reed
hasper57saint Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Haven't seen a good performance from him since he first arrived.Wouldn't mind if he put in a bit of an effort but he is not too far away from Ali Diers (sp) appearance.
cellone Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He was a poor signing for us, and if I remember rightly...a NC signing at the time, as he brokered the deal to avoid agent involvement. Was that pre L. Reed?
Saints foreva Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 One of the worst signings we will ever make.
Son of Bob Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Get rid. I've not seen anything to convince me he's got anything to offer. We should be looking at giving the youngsters precious first team time rather than wasting it on this guy.
doddisalegend Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Apart from one run followed by a penalty (against Villa two seasons back I think) I can't recall Mayuka doing anything of note. He really shouldn't be blocking the path of someone like Ryan Seagar to the 1st team he is not good enough and offers nothing to the team.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 When Long was flagging last night, and he absolutely run his balls off, I was saying he needed a rest. I was calling for Reed to come on and shore up the right hand side and inject that bit of energy. He's played there a few times and was fine. Mayuka just offers nothing.
the saint in winchester Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Give over, guys. He's officially the 83rd best player in the world - according to that survey I can't locate right now.

Never really gets more than a cameo so whilst I'm not that impressed it's premature to write him off. Lambert has looked no better in the first 6 or 7 games for Liverpool. TBF...Rickie was often the last sub. on in their opening games.... But in the last month, when starting games ..he 's looking a little more of his " former self "..even if not scoring regualrly.
david in sweden Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Give over, guys. He's officially the 83rd best player in the world - according to that survey I can't locate right now. .........???... in Africa....maybe.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 I presume Mayuka is only still at the club because we can't find anyone stupid enough to take him off of our hands. We'd have done better to keep Gaston.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 .........???... in Africa....maybe. Nope 85th in the whole wide world, probably a poll conducted amongst Zambian 2 year olds after he scored in the ANC final.
Lighthouse Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 According to wiki we gave him a 5 year deal, which just seems plain odd. No idea why anyone would give such a long contract to an unknown foreign player. It reminds me of Tommy Fourpast a bit, just doesn't make sense.

Odd signings at odd times who are nowhere at the level we should be aiming at at the time.
david in sweden Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 Nope 85th in the whole wide world, probably a poll conducted amongst Zambian 2 year olds after he scored in the ANC final. if it's world-wide? survey.... then it's surely based on his input in International games, and not on domestic League performances, as he's never played regularly for Saints. I'm sure there can't be too many uncapped players in the previous 84?.....although there are certainly some good Prem. players who've never been capped.

Work it out for yourself http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/dec/21/1 Remember the Echo saying he was better ranked than Nasri or Terry...yeah right.
Roo1976 Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 my next door neighbours sister goes out with Seager(fact).
nta786 Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 good for FIFA though nah in all seriousness, a shocking player, who just doesn't cut it out at this level. Only good thing he's done is win a late penalty for us in that 4-1 victory over Aston Villa first season back!
Leicestersaint Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 I simply cannot see what he brings to the side - he looks out of his depth.

Saint_clark Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 He definitely has some potential in there but hasn't come close to showing it. Unfortunately I think he is an out and out striker and won't fit in for us out wide - as you can see from clips of him he is an instinctive finisher but needs to be pushed right up top. Won't get that opportunity here.
Saint_clark Posted 4 December, 2014 Posted 4 December, 2014 What's the opposite of 'supersub'? I believe the hindenburg would be a good example of that.
gazzzza Posted 5 December, 2014 Posted 5 December, 2014 [video=youtube;v77-BZ8IeJM] Ok , we've all scored one of those in a sunday league game once !
gazzzza Posted 5 December, 2014 Posted 5 December, 2014 Poole town need a striker & would have him on loan.
david in sweden Posted 5 December, 2014 Posted 5 December, 2014 What's the opposite of 'supersub'? .......sunken sub?
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 December, 2014 Posted 5 December, 2014 What's the opposite of 'supersub'? Bus repus.
Lighthouse Posted 5 December, 2014 Posted 5 December, 2014 What's the opposite of 'supersub'? A sh*t player who starts every game. Jermaine Wright in other words.
Edmonton Saint Posted 9 December, 2014 Author Posted 9 December, 2014 Again last night a pointless substitution. Chasing the game and we bring on the clown prince of ineptitude. I would rather have a 50% fit Long, than an 100% fit Mayuka. As soon as I saw Mayuka being brought on, I knew we had lost all chance of an equaliser. He really is that bad.
