Newcastle Fan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not by chance that after 9 games unbeaten we lost the two he starts, get him as far from the team as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Can I never see this guy on the right again please? How is he still getting played there ffs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 For all the shit he gets he still created our best chance of the night. If we're adamant about having inverted wingers he can't be one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Yep. Is not a winger and never has been, should play as a 10 or not at all. Showing up our lack of strength in depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He wasn't as bad as is being made out by some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He's quick enough to literally just knock it past most full backs and out pace them, but he never does ... it's so bloody weird. Waited till he was just about to be subbed before finally running at a defender, and he showed how effective he could have been at that all game. At this point I'm totally sick of him tbh. Can't wait for the day our position in the prem is confirmed for next year, and we can start moving some of these folks on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Honestly I'd not be against playing him over Willock at times. I hate Willock's attitude. He's either Yaya Toure or a ghost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consettmag Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always wanted Miggy to do well purely on enthusiasm. However. He can only go past players with pace, if a defender squares him up he can only go backwards. He can’t cross a ball with accuracy. He’s not a natural finisher. Got a great engine and will run and press for 90 minutes, but a premier league footballer he isn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The only time in the game that he went for the line and didn't check back he nearly had an assist. He has tremendous pace but he is frightened of losing the ball so just checks back to play it square or backwards, the safe ball. We are so weak down the right flank in attack and defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Always wanted him to shine but fact is, he is not PL material. He should move on in the summer....and he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) He is what he is. And that’s not a premier league footballer. if he would push and run more often at defenders he would be useful. The one time he did it he destroyed the defender.

Wallsendmag Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Good finish there. Sad fact though is that he is lacking in many key areas to ever be a Premier League footballer and at 27 years old he isn't getting any better either. Think he'll be one of 6 or 7 players moved on this summer. Edited March 25, 2022 by Wallsendmag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 If his decision making improved 25% he'd be a very productive PL player. He has pace, technique and a decent shot on him but i've seen kids with better decision making at the crucial moments. It looks shittest when he's on the wing, so maybe being played out of position has something to do with it. Shame really, seems like a top lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 It was a nice finish but even then the ball was passed into the net. The lack of any real shooting power is his biggest weakness IMO, he'd score a lot more goals if he could really leather it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He’s hit more good shots in the last couple of months than ever before, not that it was a high bar. Quite unlucky not have a goal or two. He’ll never be a thunderbastard merchant, granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Keep pushing your value up kidda. I like him but I'd take anything above 10m to reinvest, especially since we got Burn and Trips for 12m each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) He's had his best games both in terms of output and performance when played in the number 10, where he played for Atlanta. But we've seldom played with one. Bruce went to a 4-4-1-1 just before COVID in 2019-20 and we had a run of games after the restart where he played well and scored a few goals. Burnley (h) D 0-0 West Brom (a) W 3-2, scored twice, played a key part in our third, Bruce then took him off and that's when we almost fell to bits Southampton (a) W 1-0, along with Gayle spurned a few chances but was in the right areas - COVID - Sheff Utd (h) W 3-0, can't remember much of this tbh Villa (h) D 1-1 Bournemouth (a) W 4-1, scored an unreal goal for 0-3 West Ham (h) D 2-2, scored again, finished off a lovely move for 1-1 Then he was never played in the 10 again until Southampton (h) last season where we won 3-2 and he scored twice and covered loads of ground when we went down to both 10 and 9 men. He shouldn't be played on the wing and if Howe wants to keep this 4-3-3 next season I'd cash in tbh. Edited March 26, 2022 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
