Novocastrian Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not going to get many breaking from his own half. Get him on the ball in final third and he’ll create chances and take some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He should leave, as quickly as possible and try and get a move to a side that wants the ball and knows how to get the best out of its attackers. So should Joelinton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He was brought in to play with Perez and Rondon under Rafa, pointless to really consider what he’s doing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Gonna be to Bruce what Ritchie was to Rafa, a work horse. I only seen bits of today’s match as the lads had it on in the background in the van, but from what I saw, he looks nothing like the dangerous somewhat of a playmaker forward he looked when he first arrived under Rafa. He’s being totally wasted here and the spark he give us alongside Rondon and Perez is not there and I doubt we’ll see his true potential under Bruce’s set up. We looked so potent going forward when he signed and had Rafa stayed, Rondon signed and Perez been kept, we’d have got lots of joy from having a player like Almiron alongside them even against of the better sides as we saw towards the back end of last season. Cheers Mike for removing that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He's completely wasted in the role that Bruce has got him in, IMO. Needs to be on the left side of an attacking three, beating his man on the outside then putting in early crosses. Offers basically nothing cutting inside, doesn't have the intelligence or instinct to play as a forward or attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Spurs and Liverpool games he has been used for absolutely nowt other than graft. It's understandable to an extent, Rafa put him far out wide against Arsenal away last season cos he does that job reasonably well, mainly cos his fitness levels are fantastic. Where Bruce puts him against weaker teams is the key, especially at home. Absolutely zero faith he'll be used properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He was brought in to play with Perez and Rondon under Rafa, pointless to really consider what he’s doing now. He's playing with Joelinton and Atsu now, and tbf, they have been decent in the last couple of games. I think the problem is he is playing too deep. In fact the whole team is playing very deep, and there seems to be a disconnect between the target man and the rest. There was a period at the start of the second half where we actually looked to get up in support more and we looked better for it. I guess it will really depend on how we set up against the weaker teams, against Liverpool all we were ever going to do was park the bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I like the kid, he's enthusiastic and his pace gets him upfield quick and frightens teams, but his lack of end product and lack of a finish is worrying. If ASM can stay fit it might be beneficial to give Almiron a rest, take him out of the firing line for a couple of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 still like him but he needs guidance and understanding and a knowledgable clever coach to get him playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 He needs to not be tracking back so far, he's being asked to do far too much, he's acting like a box to box winger/wing back. Bruce will ruin him and the boo boys will blame him, wasted here unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Should have done better with that shot, pretty much hit it straight at the keeper. Worrying that he doesn't seem to be able to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t the only one who fluffed his shots yesterday. I really like him and I think he’ll come good, unfortunately he’s got to work with Bruce’s genius tactics though.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Wasn’t he designed to play alongside Perez as like an inside forward, with fullbacks providing width? Both of them playing off Rondon. I thought he was more of a forward than a genuine wide player, don’t really know mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Feel really sorry for the guy and can see Bruce making him the fall guy. He is being asked to play a totally different roll to that under Rafa. He is playing far too deep and can't be expected to make runs with the ball and score goals starting from his own penalty box. He will soon be dropped in favour of lumping the ball up to Carrol and Joelinton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
