All of you, apologise.

I hate posts like this, did you predict Almiron would score goals like this on a regular basis, and this many?  I don't think you did.  I love Almiron and hope he can keep it up, I also hope we can rely on him in the future to do so.  We do need another winger anyway even if he keeps up this form.

We still need another right winger, and another left winger to be greedy. Cover and rotation for Miggy on the right, and cover and rotation for ASM. Unfortunately that means letting Murphy go eventually but that has to be the medium term goal as you improve the squad.

The directness of his goal today I absolutely loved. Not only the worldly finish but just the positive intent from the moment he received the ball. 1 thing on his mind and executed to perfection ❤️

 

 

 

 

It was mint how early he took the shot and that's the kind of thing that'll see him to continue to score goals if he keeps it up. He's going to get in shooting positions and he's going to be given the ball, I hope he continues to back himself to take opportunities as soon as they present because no one can tell him he doesnt have the ability anymore.

I didn't predict this, no. And of course a right winger would have been great  But there was some serious knicker-wetting going on which was utterly disproportionate after what was otherwise a great window.

Has he ever done an interview in English? Feel like I've never heard him speak.

 

Like when Colo did an interview near the end of his time here and I don't remember any other time hearing him speak

That's what happens but we did need a winger and still do. It doesn't matter how well we do we can always improve.  Miggy has made that position his own to lose but we still need more threat.  I'm still half in the mind that everyone is just in a purple patch and panic before every game.  Miggy certainly is, but, if he is not, and he continues to score like this then as has recently become one of the most productive attackers in world club football.  It's hard to know with Eddie whether this is just a great period for Miggy or he has turned him into this monster.  I hope for the latter but it's unrealistic but fuck knows, Eddies coaching blows my mind.

not the personal insults.

same goes for murphy, willock and longstaff.

This. And Wood etc etc etc. Some absolute undeserving cunts on here slagging off players that

a) were let down by previous

b) got us, miraculously, top4 form

c) have us, justifiably, top4

d) good enough for Eddie

 

Wankers need to fuck off and support Man City. ?

Absolutely fine saying we need a right winger of better quality if we’re going to be challenging for top honours, but people were pointing out how important Almiron’s work rate was for this side and also how it was clear in pre-season that Howe had been working on making him more effective, working with Trippier and Bruno in particular, and some people were having none of it. People were calling for all sorts of mediocre replacements ffs. I’m glad we didn’t go for Cornet and the likes. We need a proper upgrade in time, but for where we are today it was evident then, as it is now, that Almiron is an integral part of this team.
