Trippier may get the odd telegraphed cross in from time to time, but both of them have been fairly ineffective for some time now compared to start of the season. Hopefully Targett is fit to play soon. Nobody cares to cover Burn regardless of how good runs he makes so they basically only have to cover whomever is playing left wing and focus more on covering the striker, Almiron & Trippier. I don't miggy doing that overlap run... If every now and then it meant trippier did a cross rather then the pass. At the moment we 100 percent do the same move with 100 percent failure. Even if we mix it up then it would give the opposition something to think about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fairly keen Fantasy Football Player (finished 65k last year). Anthony Gordon was a fairly popular "budget enabler" in the game. Cheap, took some set pieces, started regularly so towards the end of the season I had him in my team. When Everton were on TV towards the end of the season, he was one of the players I was watching closely. I didn't see much in the way of the genuine ability you would want from a wide player. Worked hard, put his foot in, liked to carry the ball but little in the way of cutting edge or quality. He's still young. He can develop. New team. Better manager. Better team mates. But I do think he's meant to be a starter on one of the wings. Him & Isak in 2 of the attacking positions. Pope Trippier Botman Bruno Gordon Isak That's the core of the next era. I expect us to add 4 or 5 in the summer for this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 So frustrating, i thought when he had his purple patch that he's changed as a player and will offer more in an attacking threat, then he went back to doing his whole running around without much purpose thing.

Tbf, doesn't matter if teams have caught on to the patterns of runs between him and Trippier, there's not that much you can do to stop good pass and move, which is what Miggy is excellent at. The patterns aren't the problem, it's the final ball or shot which sometimes lacks quality. Even then he's scored 10 goals and we still have 15 games to play.

andyc35i Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 My frustration with Miggy is that he always seems to do the daft thing when he’s got time to make a decision (wrong pass, poor accuracy, another touch or a cut back). I can’t get over that genuine chance we had on Sunday of scoring on the break in the opening minutes of the game where there were three players running ahead of him and he messed up the easy pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) He overran the ball on another one as well, when he was receiving. Looked the fault of the passer but IMO it was him for not holding in the space. He's also so extremely left footed that he's never going to be happy going down the outside. So that's a decision for the coaches if they can accept it. Nothing's really changed in the Miggy debate except he went through an unreal patch which has now ended.

The Prophet Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 A wide forward was wanted in the last two transfer windows for a reason. He's had a fantastic season and seems a great lad to boot, but his form was always going to be difficult to sustain when you look at the quality of the goals he was scoring. I'll be amazed if a quality replacement isn't sought in the summer with a view to him becoming a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I still love him but I think it'd be good to give Gordon a run on that right hand side at the weekend. It'd be nice to have one wide player on their correct foot from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Think he always comes back better after being dropped or rested previously. Let's hope he can replicate that. I think I remember him unhappy being substituted during the Palace home game but in the following games, he did well, if I'm not mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the debates moved on as he's definitely more effective overall than he was 9 months ago. Now I can tolerate him being part of the setup, and have reasonable confidence about him scoring a chance. But he's certainly limited, one-footed, and heavily reliant on drilled routines rather than natural insight. It puts a strain on the players around him, having to come up with things for him to do.

TRon Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Much as I love the guy, he has to show some more aggression in the final third. He made the full back's job too easy by looking for the easy pass or hesitating to go at them when he had the chance. The delivery from the right side improved massively once Willock and Murphy came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I love his output, energy wise he is just built for this system. I remember during his insane run of goals saying something like ‘if he can keep up even half of this goal/assist form we won’t need to replace him’, so yeah long term he probably isn’t the answer as our starting RW. Being so one footed makes him predictable, teams adjusted to it a while ago.. we also arnt seeing that Bruno ball over the top for him to run onto anymore. He’s so useful but will always have limitations in and around the box, he’s a confidence player but even confidence wont allow him the use of his right foot.

Cronky Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Defenders know that he doesn't want to go on the outside on his right foot, and so they can concentrate on just blocking him moving across the pitch on his left. The result is that, more often than not, he moves backwards on to his left foot and just returns the ball where it came. It feels like we're back to where we started the season, with doubts about whether there was enough in his armoury, apart from workrate and application. He will always be a useful squad player for us, but we need someone with a more wide range of attacking threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
