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 thought he was his usual self gets into great positions, but then cuts back every time. At the end of the day his end product is just not good enough. With Wilson back it will be him or Isak on the right hand side, unless he changes to a 442 or 523

He can fuck off today and every other day, as always runs around like a headless chicken and produces fuck all goals and assists

So overly harsh [emoji38]

 

We all know he lacks in the gold standard of stats (Goals, assists). He lacks the composure and decision making at times that would make all the difference for him on those stats, however if you cant see what he brings to this side then im not sure what to tell you - one of the best engines I've seen on any of our players and follows the game plan down to the letter. Just a shame for him that when we are struggling for goals he tends to take a fair bit of the frustration as hes a forward hes expected to score but for me he makes up for those short comings with his overall output.. he'll be a very effective sub to see out and protect leads in future when we can add a new RW. 

 

At this stage in our development of this squad hes a fine player to have around, we could do alot worse.

In attack he was, none stop running, created chances, hit the post, could have scored, was zippy on the ball and doubled up on Zaha rendering him ineffective. It’s just his end product is lacking, that and he’s so one footed.

I don't know why people lump him in with Murphy, Wood and Fraser. He is genuinely a class above. Even deserves his place more than Longstaff and Willock. 

Speedy, hardworking, pressing, quick feet, good chemistry with Bruno. He's an international who is the key player for his team, who are not a bad international side. 

Yes we need to get better evenetually but there's too much hate for him. 

 

Part of the problem is this inverted winger system. I'd like to see him on the left with ASM on the right. Getting crosses in and genuinely being more comfortable I think he would be better. 

The other issue is that he's not actually a winger! He's a number 10. I'd also like to see him as the other number 8 instead of Willock. Think that could be decent, perhaps when Isak goes to the right and Wilson is up top.

Almiron puts in a wonderful shift just about every game, but ultimately yesterday, Palace knew if they stopped Isak, then they had a good chance of preventing goals conceded. It's not just Almiron's fault, but Fraser and Willock as well. These are the guys making up our attack, and they just don't score enough goals.

20m for him. No wonder we hired Atlanta’s CEO. And Jack Grealish wasn’t wrong.

now thats just fucking disrespectful,Miggy might be one footed but he gives us chances.Super jack will be the biggest flop in England for the money they paid

You also thought Murphy 'wasn't that bad' yesterday, tbf.


There seems to be so much partiality in the opinion of supporters on different players of similar levels. For example people so overly critical of Lascelles etc. I guess everyone has their favourites. Back to Miggy, he is a grafter and gets into good positions but i find it so disappointing that he has not really improved his end product in his 3 years here so far. Anyway, i guess we all know about his weaknesses as supporters i guess just keep supporting till these players eventually being replaced

I like Miggy personally. What he lacks in end product he more than makes up with for his contribution to the team, IMO.

His current role limits his opportunities for end product, along with his own limitations of course. He's not the icing on the cake, he's the sponge in every bite.

Once we get him in a central role he can join in with attacks down the left, as well. And I'm sure he'll produce more down there.

He's only got a left foot and isn't great with that. Might work in a different position where he isn't being relied on for creativity or goals. In the team because of his workrate. Losing faith in him coming good.
