Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[FCB]

Folks on Twitter still don't believe he should be dropped because of his 'workrate'

[Lotus]

He looks knackered to me. His head movement when running gets more and more exaggerated as he flags.

If there's one question I could ask a football manager....

 

I understand an inside wing forward can open up a defence coming inside and especially one against one it's difficult to defend against especially if the game is open.

 

However....if a team is playing a low block and has everyone back and your wing forward (or whatever the fuck it's called) is pinned at the touchline against 2 men, then what is the advantage of having a lefty on the right and vice versa????????

In those circumstances you become dependant on crosses, and what's the point if the player can not cross? Surely when a team sits back it would make sense to revert to square pegs in square holes? 

 

I also don't believe that the inside wing forward is rewarded with more goals, Laurent Robert or solano didn't struggle to score goals from their respective wing positions? 

 

It's a much more dangerous chance when inverted winger is cutting in from the edge of the box compared to being pinned at the touchline. You rather have him on his stronger foot when he's cutting in, teams don't really want to be in that second situation anymore.

 

Only having one leg you can use is obviously still a massive disadvantage for a professional footballer.

Literally no one to drop him for too.

Fine with work rate but unfortunately as we all know that won't cut the mustard when he costs us. Trippier consistently is Miggy's right foot leaving issues at the back should Tripps not be able to get back in time, Almiron is a forward and should act like one.

He'll smash one in tomorrow and all will be forgotten about.

Fine with him doing that but when he misses a simple one with his right foot then questions need to be raised, suggest we flog him and allow an improvement taken on.

Oh I agree but that's how football works he'll stick a raker in and people forget his limitations he should be a bench player at best.

It seems worse with the chances seemingly being costly. I remember Joelinton, Willock and Longstaff missing easier chances and more often but we'd go on to win so missed chances played less on the mind.

[TBG]

Show some respect for my boi

[The Butcher]

Always rated him.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

What was his goal like? 

[Begbie]

Its so irritated that he keeps ignoring passing the ball to Miley. He has become so predictable, think he would have good of a couple of games on the bench to get back to his best

[Aiston]

Way too hated because he's the 'next one out'.

Wilson got barged down in the back, ball rolled free, Miggy followed it up and slotted it home.

[LiquidAK]

Ran his balls off today like he always does. Delighted he got the goal. If we actually had a winger in the squad to sub/rotate him we'd see better output, he's probably utterly exhausted 

[Guest]

Marmite Almiron tbh

with his dick or was that burn 

[Newcastle Fan]

Don't get too watch a lot of games at SJP due to living abroad, but i remember when i used to watch Ben Arfa week in and out, and fuck me Miggy is far from that level, was watching him in the stadium today and the way he moves and everything he does is terrible, bad movement, bad decision making, bad balls,  all he does is run a lot, even on a bright day like today replacing him is a priority and you have to question why it wasn't done in the summer.

[Pilko]

Took the goal well enough but aside from that I thought he had one of his most one-footed, frustrating and irritating games.

 

He's definitely someone I'd want us to keep, and as we're missing Murph or another option his lack of quality is very obvious at times.

 

Can never knock his effort though and the goal was probably just enough reward for that.

[McDog]

I thought he was solid for the first 30 minutes. Good touches, some clever moves.  He wasn't terrible to me.

[PauloGeordio]

Should have took that with his right as a fuck you! (Might have skied it mind) 

[midds]

Probably the most frustrating player to watch since Shola. I love his workrate and attitude, he grafts his bollocks off but all of that, and more, is cancelled out by his complete lack of ability in the final third. He has his moments and has scored some excellent and important goals but by christ he's got me kicking the sofa across the living room watching him fuck up attack after attack after attack. It's harsh I know

[huss9]

he looks like he's running on close to empty too.

kept seeing him grimacing and trying to stretch and loosen up his legs in the second half..

[Numbers]

Wish he would put some crosses in now and again, so frustrating.
