The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Love the lad but he needs to be the backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideopenMag Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 He's just too inconsistent tbh, I think the plan was for Barnes to play on the left and Gordon on the right. Hopefully we see that soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) So often in matches I think "if only we had a top level player in Miggys position" - last night was the same again, as was the manure match. Misses so many chances he should be putting in, often not even on target. Nights like last night it comes back to cost you. The fact he can only kick with his left foot too, doesn't help. Love his work rate and enthusiasm, he'd give anything for the club, but if we are to continue to progress, he's got to be a back up.

Joey47 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Sorry but Almiron is showing his true colours lately. Everyone who said he wasn't a starting attacker for a a champions league club was right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Love him, he’s had the best attitude out there today for us by far. His finishing is too predictable and if he doesn’t dribble at pace and get a shot off he rarely gets much behind it. Should be second in line to a very dangerous RW who feeds in lots of dangerous crosses. Still want him part of the squad for a long time to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dead on his feet. How he performs right now isn’t indicative of his level and how he’s performed all season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room for sentiment it's clearly a place where we can improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We desperately need another RW, thought that was obvious when we were coming to the end of the transfer window and not buying one was a massive mistake. I'm not the biggest Almiron fan but he gets too much blame when things are going badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room for sentiment it's clearly a place where we can improve. I agree that we should be looking to replace him for a player who can cross and who is less one-footed. However, whoever that player ends up being, I’d still be happy with Almirón getting lots of minutes as the work he does for us is massive for the overall team. Having a player who always gives everything is extremely important too. We all want a more dangerous RW but that doesn’t mean Almirón is just completely done in this team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We definitely need to upgrade him, to a top class RW. he’s had almost identical chances today and against Everton and wasted both. Not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We really are paying the price for persisting with him, he is a very limited footballer who makes it up by giving a 110%, however we are at a level where you need players with actual technical ability.

mouldy_uk Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I like the guy, but without his running / energy he’s almost pointless as he can’t pass, cross and his shooting is erratic at best. Hopefully next season he can be an impact sub which would suit him perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Is his right foot A. That bad or B. He's got a mental block which makes him shit scared to use it I've never ever known a more one footed footballer. Surely he Has worked on it in all the years he has been a professional Edited December 10, 2023 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted Generator Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) He’s going to be fucking brilliant coming off the bench next season giving fullbacks absolute nightmares with his constant running.
