Lovely lad, clearly and busts his balls week in, and week out, but you score goals through assists. He's playing as a wide forward so more is needed from the wide two. Canny sub but should not be starting next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Someone put it well the other day in this thread. For where we want to be he should be the Matt Ritchie/Jacob Murphy of the squad. Mostly brought on to do a job closing out games and you know if you have to start him in an emergency he can do a job. Not upgrading him in the summer was a mistake and it has come back to haunt us.

Decky Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Miggy does a lot of running and has great energy, he is also a really likable person but he just isn't good enough to be playing week in week out in a key position. I don't mind him being at the club for another couple of years in the squad, he has good energy to bring on late in a game, but we absolutely need a new quality right winger. We've needed it since Howe has been here and it simply has to be addressed in the next 1 or 2 transfer windows. If we had better decision making and quality up there we'd be scoring a lot more goals.

wiseman Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 He's an odd one miggy, I feel defensively he offers more then most wingers as his work rate is great, while offensively he doesn't offer enough for what we need from a winger. He's been fortunate to have trippier behind to create from the right hand side, but also his workrate has allowed trippier that freedom to bomb Forward. The clubs challenge now is to find a right winger that will provide this while being more of a goal threat. I think if we hadn't seen the injury to Barnes we would be seeing Gordon in miggys spot, and Barnes on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ideally should be our backup RW - he’d be immense as a sub / squad option. He’s the exact type of player we don’t have right now, but we need more genuine quality to get us into winning positions.

GeordieT Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 ‘What got us here won’t get us there’ is Almiron in a nutshell for me. If we genuinely aspire to bigger and better things, he just doesn’t offer enough. Feels like the obvious starting 11 replacement. Workrate was excellent tonight.

Menace Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I've never seen a player like him - he grafts his bollocks off and actually helps out defensively a lot. At the same time he's approaching 30 and absolutely terrified of using his weaker foot. You can tell he started playing football professionally quite late into his career.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Love him, place in the squad, but we need Barnes & Gordon fit + someone in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Missed the match but catching up on the highlights. First thing I noticed was the outstanding tackle from Tomori, second thing I noticed was that the tackle would’ve been moot had Miggy tapped it with his right. The disparity between his left and right feet is astounding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Miggy tonight was the prime example of better players taking you to better places. A decent player knocks that in, regardless of preferred foot or not. An attacker who has basically no end product. If each team had a position for someone who runs about, we'd have the best one in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Miggy grafts, tracks back, makes runs - he deserves no criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Fantastic workhorse but he is not the player to take us forward. Lack of using his right foot restricts so many opportunities. I really like him but he's a squad player and no where near a first teamer starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But but no one counts it. He did a couple of lovely cut backs today to Wilson who fluffed them. Edited December 13, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Thought he was great today tbh. An absolute nuisance with his running and pressing. Gutting he didn't score but it was a ridiculous tackle that stopped it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Miggy is the type of player you want coming off the bench for the last 20mins. I’m a fan of his but we need to upgrade in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
