Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[TRon]

I think we'd definitely sell him, just not unless we got good money, I'm thinking around £20m+. I know he pisses us off with his poor end product, but he's still a very useful squad member who does a hell of a job from a team POV. It's not like we would be desperate to get rid.

I know people like him because of his pressing, but i dont think i have ever seen a more one footed player.  Must be so easy to play against.

Yep, just gotta force him wide and not let him cut in. Guaranteed pass back to Trippier.

[chapdelaine]

Miggy with a first time cross from the left hand side,maybe try him there with wood in the box

[Barnes23]

Made some great runs in the second half especially, one of very few players offering any real incision or intelligence in terms of build-up in the final third today.  

[Newcastle Fan]

Its these sort of games where we need him to step up but he just dosn't have the abillity to score or assist frequently, once again he worked hard without really impacting the game.

[The Butcher]

The sooner he's out of the team the better. Offers nowt but running. 

 

We absolutely must sign a RW. 

[toontownman]

Frustrating at times for sure. We need that starting Right winger to come in this week.

 

Almiron does fine considering its his third best position.  Limitations are clear to see though.

[gbandit]

Thought he did a lot of really good work in the middle, tracking back, recovering the ball and setting us moving in the right direction. The issues start when he gets into the final third, especially if the ball isn’t in the right place on his left foot 

[Ginola]

He's started the season well but it's painful how one footed he is

This, he was decent again today, but can’t cross and won’t shoot!

Basically. As a defensive attacker, he is quite good, just final cross/shot is the big problem.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

When he plays on the left he needs the ball threaded inside for him. Which we can’t do when we don’t really have good attacks and Bruno isn’t playing. 

[The College Dropout]

The lack of a right foot is crazy. 
 

 

pass, cross, shot. He won’t do it. 
 

The left is hardly a wand either.

Think the thread title needs a change.

 

Missgoal Almiron ??

 

And for Chris Wood thread.

Could we not try him on the left? He may cross the ball then although no chance of a cut inside and shoot.

Maxi sometimes looks leathal on the right too, seems to not be on the to do list though.

[Yorkie]

Thought he was our best player today tbh. I'm now firmly in the camp of "if we only sign one more, make it a CM." We'll get an upgrade eventually, you'd hope, but he's a good player and is improving.

I don't understand it, especially with Wood struggling to get involved. First time Almiron popped up on the left he created a perfect chance that was well defended.

[HWTL]

Cant understand how any professional football isn't 2 footed, obviously most will have a dominant foot but should still be able to use both. Always baffled me how some players just never seem to train with there weaker foot.

Could be they try and it isn't working.

Almiron also lacks confidence.  Even on his left he hesitates and takes unnecessary touches in dangerous areas.

Don't agree with anything here. 

 

We're desperate for more goals and creativity from RW and he offers very little apart from good pressing and running.

 

He's so one footed it's unreal for a PL player. 

 

 

 

[Geogaddi]

He is the least of our problems really, it’s having the likes of Murphy ,Wood and Longstaff in the squad that needs addressing more urgently. Almiron is a decent squad player for us to have .

[The Butcher]

He's a starter and that's a problem if we want to compete for Europe.
