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.

 

 

 

Just wait until he starts whipping in first time crosses for Wilson and Isak.

I would love it.

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

 

I wouldn't argue, but players who are in forward positions need to contribute goals/assists, otherwise you end up with hard working 0-0's.

Agreed, I would prefer for us to have a player with greater attacking quality in spite of weaker defensive contributions long-term but Miggy is a great squad player. He gets shown up more in games where we lack creativity like yesterday, though 

[McCormick]

Miggy's just about fine for now; he's decent presser and quick on the break. That fact that we already have someone in Tripper on the right side that can put in quality balls makes his workrate useful for something, at least. When maxi's gone though our left side really lacks any kind of goal threat.

Personally don’t think he’s good enough at all, attacks break down constantly when he gets the ball. Unfortunately for the time being he is the best of a bad bunch.

It will be interesting when Wilson is back, will he or Isak be on the right hand side of a 3, will Isak play the Willock role or will we go 442. I agree about Almiron, his end product isn't good enough.

Isak should never play anywhere but CF.

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.

You make some excellent points however,I’d say he’s  too weak and not good enough  to play inside.He’d receive the ball then look to play it back.

Would be a good option off the bench for 20-30 minutes replacing Almiron when he's knackered.

Presume you’re on about Girlish now. And it is a good call ?

It's ridiculous how angry he makes me

[ExiledGeordie]

He’s shite like I’m sorry. If I have to endure him cutting back all the time again

Horse Shit. But Smiles and Runs around, right?

[Joseph]

Almiron in possession in a dangerous area is nothing more than a cue to look at your phone. Nothing of consequence is going to happen. 

[et tu brute]

He offers absolutely nothing. Does fuck all with the ball and actually breaks up attacks as every time he gets the ball he cuts back onto his other foot. He is a like headless chicken. 

[mikejaxer]

To think some people were fooled during the preseason into thinking he'd finally be decent 

[Klaus]

He cuts back and still doesn't cross with his left boils my piss

[worthy]

I like you Miggy, but man.. You should absolutly not play wide at all. Decisions are poor, he is so easy to defend against due to always laying it off to the one foot he has. The few great games he has had for us has been through the AMC role, but as we dont use it its going to be rough.

[nemtizz]

Not even close to being our worst player which in itself is embarrasing. He's tragic.

My exact thoughts 

[Rich]

I want to like him, I really do.

 

He’s never ever been a right winger, though.

[KaKa]

Should be played in one of the number 8 roles, which are essentially attacking midfield positions through the middle. He wants to get on the ball and pass and move, which we could do with more of in there, rather than playing Willock there.
