Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[jackyboy]

Miggy was always going to be the one shunted to the bench because Bruce hasn't a clue how to use him. That's Bruces style

[tinoasprilla]

Our best player no doubt will be gone either fed up with bacon bonce or sold to pay for a shite British Centre back

[huss9]

again our best player today, but that fucking dive was absolutely disgusting.

[binnsy]

He’s great, but he’s an AMC/10, not a winger.

 

i disagree,  think he's better as a winger,  was a threat today and put over a couple of good crosses, including laying on a sitter for Wilson and he was great down the left when he first came in under Rafa.  Also playing him wide you get the defensive cover that ASM didn't give today.  Last season away at Wolves he was fantastic, probably one of his best performances not only scoring a good goal but was brilliant in tracking back to nullify the threat of Traore.

[KaKa]

Yes, I agree. I like him on the left most.

[Joe_F]

Start him against Tottenham you clueless twat

[Alberto2005]

He's our best player.

[joeyt]

He's not

[Alberto2005]

He's not

He is along with ASM. Who is then?

[joeyt]

ASM is

[huss9]

would love bruce to explain why it would have been "unfair" to drop carrol against brighton but not unfair keep miggy out of the first team.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

What the fuck is that song?

He’s putting a Callum Wilson one out tomorrow.

[TRon]

Even though he doesn't score as many as you'd like for a forward, he was still one of our best buys last season. Look at the football we play when he's in the side compared to when Carroll starts instead.

Obviously the cups have boosted his numbers but since his assist v Man City I’m guessing his figures are canny compared to others in his role?

Another thing to consider is experience in this league. I think he can get better as he gets more of it, and that actually applies to Joelinton as well. One of the reasons I don't generally go ballistic when he doesn't hit the net often enough, Joe is still relatively young and can improve. Also the same applies, I think our football is better when he's in the side than when Carroll is. Joelinton likes the ball at his feet, if Carroll's in the team our defenders will just look to hoof it in his direction.

9 goals and at least 5 assists in the 35 games since Man City (can’t find assist stats for the FA Cup last season).

Almiron always looked good but was unlucky he couldn't score.

 

Joelinton hasn't looked good

Almiron was getting the piss taken out of him when he went on the long barren spell without goals last season. Anyway, it's not a direct comparison, was more about getting better with experience in a foreign league and the type of football we play being designed for big battering ram strikers.

[KaKa]

So ineffective on the right as he is very left footed, and it means he cannot break forward and run with the ball when he gets it, which is one of his greatest strengths. Instead he always has to come inside, where all the traffic is.

 

And still the manager has not recognised this. How? Every single thing Bruce manages to get wrong. All the time.

[St1pe]

I vaguely remember him having a good game v City on the right but then never again afterwards. Mental that he keeps being put in that situation.

It's just awful.

 

Considering how deep we sit, him getting on the ball and pelting forward would be quite useful, but he has to be on the left to do that, as the space is always going to be out wide for that.

[toon25]

A shit manager won’t know how to get the best from him
