Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)


Recommended Posts

I'd say Bruno has had a huge impact on him, not as much as Howe ofcourse but you can see those two play well together and do definitely have an understanding in a similar way Bruno and Joelinton do.

Lots of energy, some excellent runs and less ponderous in possession. Overall, a very good day for him. He just needs to get into the habit of being confident enough to hammer it with his right foot if he gets a sniff of a chance too rather than cutting back, as it seems defenders expect him to do that.

My MOTM today and one of his better performances to date for us! Needs to add goals and assist though!

 

Joelinton was MoM for me. Miggy was decent, but he needed to get a finish to make it really count. We need goals from him this season.

This is the problem with Almiron, lacks end product

He does, although I don’t think that was his particular problem today, as we lacked numbers in the box or options for him. He needs goals and assists though, no doubt!

He put in some decent balls in the box. I think the reason they didn't end up at a Newcastle player's feet was because Forest had about five defenders in their box at all times. It got past two or three players but they literally had their DM in the box sweeping up.

That chance where he was six yards out and was petrified to hit it with his right, man.  
 

Ended up outside the box trying to shift It to his left.

 

That was pathetic like, he only needed to put a slide in and get a toe on it and it's a goal. This is why people doubt he can ever be a truly effective forward.

He is making better runs and has a good understanding with Bruno but we have to upgrade him, he's the same Almiron when it comes to the final third , no end product and more often than not makes the wrong decision, we  can't rely on him as a first team starter if we are to push ourselves this season.

He was an absolute nightmare for them.

 

So long as he's happy to be here, I'm happy to have him. You can trust him to put a shift in and there are games when that is paramount.

 

I don't think he's ever going to be a clinical player but he won't let you down in games like this.

I rate Fraser more than Miggy. Fraser can accelerate really well to get on to Bruno’s passes and he is quite two-footed

Fraser isn't really that quick, his legs are just moving faster than most cus they are so small ?

 

Almiron looked rapid today and his closing down and instigating the press was fantastic. Just as others have said his lack of right foot  hurts his end product.

Said this when I first saw him. :lol:

 

He's got better end product, but just doesn't cover the ground as well as Miggy who is far more involved during 90 mins.
