TheBrownBottle Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Bless his cottons, the lad grafts his arse off. He’s a limited footballer, but we know that. I think we all know he’ll get ‘transitioned’ out soon, probably next summer. But that industriousness will put the shits up the PL’s lesser lights.

RobS Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 frustriating night for Miggy tonight - got himself in some fantastic positions, but miss handled the ball or made the wrong decision when it mattered. We looked a different team offering a first time hit right footed cross once he was replaced sadly. Love him and that grin, but needs upgrading next summer.

The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I was more annoyed that Livra was his replacement. Most of our rivals have a better starting option at RW but they also have better bench options too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Worked hard, got shown up for having little quality. He'll have better games than that against worst opposition but tonight even the basics were poor with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Did well to with his running and ability to creat overlapping opportunities for Trippier, but poor with the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Diaby is the answer at thus moment in time Yes, he's better than Miggy going forward but he doesn't offer the same defensive support and at the moment we need that The final part of his game was off today but it's one game, that too against the best side in the league, I'm sure Miggy will be fine this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) First time I've seen him that gassed, gave his all tonight, literally running on empty and was still our brightest spark at times. I want him to be better than he is, can't help but love the guy. Purple patch Miggy would be here for a while.

The Butcher Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 For all the good we've done this window it's really disappointing that Miggy will be a starter this season.

Infatuation Junkie Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 He will score a brace in the next few weeks and everyone will want to be bouncing on his cock again.

huss9 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 i like miggy but he really should be practicing with his right foot at the end of every training session. its managealbe to get it to a level where he can at least just swing it and play a cross in from the right. ficks sake, i've seen both my teenage boys manage to do it with their weaker feet. fucking practice. its not impossible man.

duo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) There is no doubt Miggy has improved as a player over the last 12 months but there is also no doubt for us to take the next step steep we need better players. Diaby for example would have fit that bill. Edited August 20, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we’ll add a right sided attacker, young striker to take over from Wilson in future, right centre back, and midfield upgrade for big Joe in summer 24.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This summer would have been the one to cash in - he won’t be worth what he’s worth atm again - but I don’t think it’s the end of the world that he wasn’t replaced. We’ve got one of Europe’s most effective attacking RBs - Almiron’s engine and total commitment does a lot of covering for Trippier. Don’t get me wrong - a lot of what made him effective early last season has been ‘sussed’. He’s making the same runs, but Trippier and Bruno aren’t making the same passes, because the defences are now obviously anticipating that ‘give and move’ that Almiron does when cutting in. But the lad gives everything, and I think plays at his maximum every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest gripe with him and Almiron is that you fancy a good fullback to deal with them 1v1 comfortably. But their work rate is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Everyone has an entrenched position on Miggy so it’s a fairly pointless discussion. Every time he does something class one camp will be proved right, whenever he has a quiet game the other will.

Partially why I was disappointed not to see Livra at fullback. At either fullback spot. I wanted to see us try something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the capacity to do well and has great application. He also has limitations that is also evident. I’m not in a camp. He’s our best option. Hope he does well. The position does neeed upgrading though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 This is Almiron's fifth season with us, in that time we've seen a thorough portrait of him as a player. He's a hard working wide player that can press effectively and has a moment of magic in his boots. The problem is that makes the moments he fluffs it more frustrating, and when he's not operating instinctively he tends to tie himself in knots and make bad decisions. He can go long periods of not being involved in a game, and he's painfully one footed. He can beat a man, but typically he needs space to do it. He's not a dribbler like Maxi or Zaha. Despite all of that he had double figures for goals last season. He was effective. We used that same justification for signing Harvey Barnes for £35m. I appreciate people wanted a new right winger, but finding someone with the blend of speed, industry, and goals wouldn't be cheap. I also don't know many wingers in that mould. I was interested to see FB Ref had Jesper Lindstrom - someone we were linked to - as a similar profile, but I always anticipated Eddie would want a CM and a left winger this summer as his biggest deals. That's not a slight on ASM, but he missed a dozen or so games last year. Miggy missed four. It wouldn't shock me if Miggy comes to life in the Champions League.

CPL Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Man City made Real Madrid look like a primary school team last year. We can obviously improve on Miggy but the same can be said on numerous players to an extent. His commitment is second to none and he is a team player. I have no doubt that is way more important to EH at the minute. Diaby is better player for sure but I guarantee on his off days, he will be a scapegoat for his lack of workrate. Prove them wrong Miggy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
