Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I am a big fan of Almiron and have been since first seeing him in MLS, but he is never going to be a particularly productive player in terms of goals and assists. I cannot think of a player that could manage to be at this level of the game with his general lack of technical precision or physical strength. The boy works incredibly hard, carries the ball well up the pitch, has good (not great; another aspect that holds him back) pace, and continually threatens and opens up defense with his progressive and consistent movement. The team needs to take advantage of what he does have and accept the deficiencies. In my opinion, he is a quality complementary player, but his inadequacies are accentuated in a side with a striker that is allergic to scoring goals and very little interest in attacking or controlling the play in the opponent's half.

Stifler Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The Miggy running and not passing this is baffling. There has been 1 case of where it’s happened, and that was in the last game with Ritchie. Generally Miggy plays a pass, fucking hell anyone see the pass he made for Joelinton when he should have scored against Sheffield United in the first half? Generally though he has no one ahead of him to play a pass too, so yes, he’s left running at goal. In the case of Ritchie in the last game, yes he should probably have passed, but you could also argue that in Miggy’s mind, Ritchie neither has the pace or the end product to have made that pass worthwhile. At Atlanta, Miggy played really well with Martinez because Martinez would overlap him and provide him with an outlet. He also played many passes to other players who also were able to run ahead of him and provide him with an outlet. It’s the reason why he had a very good assist count there.

Nobby's strength was all about his technique when connecting with a ball and his intelligence on the ball. Almiron is about work ethic, pace, sort of timing his runs and some technique. I love Almiron and I loved Nobby but they are not similar at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Almiron and I loved Nobby but they are not similar at all. His touch and control, his careful use of his feet and the way he guided the ball in the net for his goal tonight reminded me A BIT of Nobby, I never said playing styles were the exact same.
