Awful player. 6 ' 7 and cant win a ball in the air. No desire to attack the ball and his touch...there is no such thing1
-
Said on the player marks, won headers early when no-one was near him, so he starts bringing it down to play, but he isn't really good enough to do so and therefore looks bad. He wants the ball though and doesn't shirk off. At least he didn't get himself sent off either4

A poor game, his movement is terrible as he's too slow on his feet to find space, hence he's always got a marker with him and ends up giving away fouls0

At least he didn't get himself sent off? Is that what the praise has come to for players now....sam3110 said:Said on the player marks, won headers early when no-one was near him, so he starts bringing it down to play, but he isn't really good enough to do so and therefore looks bad.

Well after a performance like that, "not getting sent off" is a positive, in so much that it shows he's got a cooler head than Sanogo. The amount of times Makienok has got into niggling tussles etc with defenders its surprising that he hasn't been given marching orders yet.cafcsinger said:

A diabolical performance the players huffed and puffed no fucking guile or tactical nouse, the substitution of Harriot was bewildering it left the team totally exposed on their right hand side and it took Riga 15 minutes to realise the stupidity of his action and bring Bergditch (if that's how you spell his name) to balance the side. I wont, on this occasion berate the players they are simply either not up to perform at this level and are not coached/managed well enough to compete. We will be the Leyton Orient of Sarf London, a generation of fans bypassed with a club in a spiraling downward decline. I thought Riga just, just, might be able to stage a remarkable turnaround but I now think he got lucky last time. That initial substitution tonight was the mark of yet another man from the fucking regime who is totally out of his depth.1

I think coaching has a lot to do with his issues along with the general state of the club.
He came here low on confidence after a bad time in Italy. Tough to recover from that at the best of times, even harder working in the atmosphere around the club at the moment.
Prior to that he scored a lot of goals in a decent league (the same one Igor did well in and he is very much a Championship quality player). Initially he got a few assists and then had a strong game vs Hull, but as a big physical unit like he is, he will have been used to bullying players in europe, but in the Championship he is just another lump the like of which so many opposition centre backs have grown up playing against. It takes time to adapt and adjust to not having it so easy.
An experienced English manger/coach could surely have helped him with this but I think he's been left to figure it out for himself.
After a fair start to his time here he got injured and came back to put in a very poor performance vs Ipswich. He was quite possibly rushed back as well, like so many of our returning injured players. Since then he has suffered the moronic ironic cheers and you can see his confidence has been down.
He has still had some good games and moments though, in particular he absolutely bossed it vs Rotherham. Sadly sounds like tonight was another real low point, but also sounds like he was again not best served by the team or tactical shambles around him.
Given proper time to adapt to the league at a less shambolic club, with proper coaching, and filling a role in a team with a thought out coherent playing strategy, I think he can do it at this level. I think the same goes for a few of the Roland era signings.
The trouble is, the playing strategy and coaching at the club is such a monumental mess that almost any player, new or existing, is doomed to either fail completely or fall seriously below their best.7 -
Our top goalscorer2

I've never booed him, have never jeered him or made sarcastic cheers and have been prepared to give him some slack. But he was utter pants tonight and there is no defending him.
He's just an small part and an obvious sign of the entire shite system though that stinks and is useless from the top down.4 -
He was shite tonight but so were many others.0

He was crap.
Has the ability to make himself look involved when he is always in the wrong place. Doesn't make himself available at throw ins and cannot just a goal kick to save his life.
Utter rubbish and it means we are always playing a man down.
He is not the only one though.

The minimum criteria in this division for a striker is that you have to make your own chances. No amount of flick-ons or tap-ins or bringing the ball down (without putting someone through on goal a la Leaburn or Yann) is going to change that. If you can score from your own play, the Prem beckons. I have seen better Conference players.0

I have, over the years, berated players who have worn our shirt, in hindsight some of those players were just not capable of performing to the required level & have tried as well as they could. I doubt very much so that big Mak has a desire to perform as badly as he does at this level, however fact is he just can't although he is our leading goal scorer.
Jordan Cousins is a player I admire, gives 100% and cares for the shirt he wears, if he could pass a ball however he would not be playing for us.
Moral of my rant, we have a few honest pros but have far more who are content to turn up & just don't care - to them it's a job of work. The management team I am undecided on, but simply they are way out of their depth,
The Championship is a brutal league.0 -
Sure he's not good enough but the worst ever performance from a charlton player is utter nonsense.6
-
I don't even think he's that niche necessarily, I just think he can't play up front on his own, at least without two wide forwards who can get in behind. Shock, surprise he's not going to stretch a defense, which is what you need from a lone center forward. Harriott and JBG can provide good support, but neither like to start high up the pitch and make angled runs behind the defense without the ball.TalBHAndreBA said:He's a luxury player IMO. I understand why people think he is w*nk and why they sarcastically clap when he gets subbed off, but he is a talented footballer(I am of sane mind,before you ask) who will go on to do well at another club but he's just not what we need. We carry him too much, we need players that can work hard all over the pitch. He's the kind of player who is great to have when you can play a bit of football, where things are comfortable and he can do a few flicks but he is 100% not suited for a relegation scrap. Vetokele would have been perfect for that match today, big mak wasn't the right choice. The championship really isn't suited to him, nor is English football.
Against Rotherham, when he played with Igor, you saw Igor pulling the defense deep, Mak dropping off and looking to interchange with JBG, Bergdich, and Cousins (allowing them time to get forward), and pulling the defense high and low. With just Mak, JBG, and Harriott, everything will be in front of the defense. It was the same when he played with Tony Watt, someone has to make the runs in behind the defense. We don't have enough quality in possession to slowly work our way up the pitch, keep patient possession, then break a team down in the final third with close control combination play or pinpoint crosses.
He might have been awful tonight, I obviously wasn't there, but he was on a hiding to nothing with the team that was picked. I feel for him.3 -
But he's not one of ours, he's one of theirs.........AFKABartram said:I know he had a stinker but I absolutely hate hearing one of your own players get the bird like that.

Absolutley woeful.Pawel Abbott anyone? At least he bloody tried.0
-
This was the single worst performace from a player I've seen, never seen something so embarrassing he's a 6ft7 pussy, bit of wind makes his balance go.
I pray I never see him again for us.0 -
Piss poor footballer nicking a living , bring back Pawel Abbott0
-
The bloke is nicking a living, biggest fairy on a football pitch I have seen in many a year, embarrassment to the male race.
No doubt if he is cheap though Rolly prolly will give him a contract next season.0 -

Blame Riga for leaving him on so long when everyone could see he was having a nightmare.2

Fuck that, I hope he cried himself to sleep. Joke of a playerI_Saw_Semedo_Score said:Garbage player, but felt bad for the way he was cheered off the pitch.

He's just completely lost his confidence, what's happened to the player who looked so dangerous against Rotherham just six weeks ago ?2
-
It's a double whammy. He's essentially a very limited player and has very fragile confidence. A dangerous combination I'm afraid. For all the odd flashes he shows, when the confidence goes we get what we saw last night and against Ipswich. Shame as I think, underneath all the amateur dramatics, he actually cares. Can't see a future for him anywhere other than Denmark I'm afraid. Rolandxwill probably pay £5 million for him on a five year contract in the summer.0
-
I don't normally feel sorry for players but I felt his embarrassment last night. He just isn't good enough. If you are the centre forward on your todd with poor service the very least you can do is move the opposing defenders around a bit and make their job a little harder, you never know they might make an error.
He lacks movement and anticipation on and off the ball as well as skill. One of his last bits of "action" last night did make me laugh, the ball flashed across the goal and he was lunging and sliding after it, it looked good but by the time he had made his move the ball had actually crossed the by-line for a goal kick.
The quickest he moved and with the most purpose was when the number 9 was held up by the 4th official.
He is just another crap player in a squad made up, (in the main), of very average players and I think that is being generous.

Like many signings under this ownership on his day he looks like he could be decent at this level but he's never done it consistently and I doubt he ever will. Can say similar things about Reza, Tucudean, Sarr, Ba and Bergdich to name a few.
This is why we're struggling, too many players not quite good enough, and the ones I named above aren't even the worst we've seen come in over the last couple of years. In a stronger side one or two might have been ok. Put several of them together and the team is a long way off being good enough.
It shows how bad things are when the above players aren't even the worst signings brought in under RD. Players like PP, Nego and Lepoint were that far off the standard required that they barely played for us.7 -
Ive watched Palermo a couple of times this season and they are truly dogshit, if they can do without him then it says a lot.1

Thought Makienok won the majority of his headers (which is more than what could be said for the Ipswich game), the only time I remember him leaving one was when the ball went so far over his head he'd have needed a step ladder to reach it.
What the problem is though, the opposition have learnt not to bother fighting Makienok in the air but to concentrate on picking up the second ball, every time he got to a header or chested the ball down, it was always an MK Dons player there!!
So my question is... What the hell are his team-mates doing, they just stand there expecting the ball to magically land at their feet every time when they should be in those same areas as the opposition players picking up that second ball (i.e. Makienok's last chest down was aimed at Bergdich who just stood there!!)
Certainly not the worst Charlton performance that I've ever seen although did like it when he took 45mins to get back onside at one stage, got flagged and received an absolute bollocking from Jordan Cousins for it (Proper future Captain if he's around long enough)5 -
I really felt for Mak last night; admittedly he had a stinker, but I don't think I've ever seen a player's confidence visibly drain as palpably as that poor boy's did - it was excruciating to witness and the fans' abuse of him was shameful.
When he was finally put out of his misery and literally ran away from his own personal bear - pit I remember thinking, 'Christ, I'm glad I'm not him'.

I hope someone insulted him to his face...
