Hopefully next season he can be an impact sub which would suit him perfectly. This basically, upgrade in January and use his pace and energy from the bench.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 After some immense performances last week, he's been canny tragic this week. Nature of the beast with him. Likely due to the situation but I've found his tracking back the last 2 games to be very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Pretty clear he's exhausted, like most of the rest of the team. Not sure why some would choose to view his last two performances outside of that context Edited December 10, 2023 by Barnes23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 played on their strong side and were whipping balls into the box for Shearer,Sutton and Newell And are you seriously comparing Almiron to Arjen Robben come on man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking squad player to replace the Matt Ritchies of the current 25 man squad. Aye this, basically. Very good squad player and not getting a better player than him in the summer to be first choice RW was a mistake. Some people on here are absolutely melted in the head though.

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 He's been good for us but I'm at that point where I badly want a quality RW I don't expect him to get it right all the time but he gets it wrong far too many times, and that pass he plays to Trippier which is often closer to the full back is getting tiresome to watch I love his effort and there may come a time where we miss that but give me someone that makes the right decions and also can use both feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Almiron is made an average footballer who looked great being a pass away the two best players on the field most weeks. Great squad player but he's so limited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 While his goalscoring output has improved so much since Howe came in (obvs streaky), his assist numbers are abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because trippier is doing what he should be doing with his right foot. No coincidence that trippiers assists and chances created are so high he's basically doing the creativity of 2 players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslact Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Nice use of his left foot to clear the ball off the line. Looked like the right should have been more natural still ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He's a good squad player, but that's about it. 5 years with us, one season with 11 goals, and then 11 goals spread across the other 4 seasons.

AmericanLooneyToon Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 It's tough too say anything bad about him because he works his ass off everytime he's out there and he seems like the nicest lad but I do think he's the perfect player to bring on as a sub. Having a fresh Almiron running at tired legs feels like the best way to ulitize him(once everyone is back). Our bad luck with injuries has really screwed everything the fuck up.

gbandit Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He can definitely shoot, he generally just needs to be running with the ball to shoot with pace or hit it on the volley. He’s not good at being passed the ball with little pace on it and generating pace from his strike that way. He goes for a gentle placement and that’s not his strength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Miggy is starting to remind me of Jonas Gutierez he is a ball of energy that runs and chases and gives his all for the side. Seen him step up last few weeks helping out defensively, being asked to switch sides and work through the middle. He is from an attacking sense a 1 trick pony but gives his all. I can see why howe likes him but as others have said he doesn't suit every opponent but is being asked to keep playing due to current squad issues. Would like to see him replaced as automatic starter next season and rotated out. Being in and out of the squad may help or hinder him but we need alternatives when things aren't working.
