morla84 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 So frustrating when you could see the beginnings of a brilliant understanding between him, Perez and Ronny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 His link up with ASM was very good on Sunday tbf. Two of Almiron’s chances came from an ASM ball and the goal came through Almiron & ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it would have been so simple to keep Perez and sign Rondon and Maximin and have plenty of options up top that worked well together instead of basically starting from scratch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not sure if Chris Waugh is pally with Bruce but reading his article in the Athletic about Miggy, it sounds like he's getting benched on Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 As soon as Gayle is fit, Pigeon Lady will stick him straight into the first team in place of Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not sure if Chris Waugh is pally with Bruce but reading his article in the Athletic about Miggy, it sounds like he's getting benched on Saturday It would be funny if at the first opportunity to give Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton a run together Bruce drops Almiron That front 3 need a run together. He should be working on the training pitch to get those 3 working together like Rafa did with Almiron, Perez, Rondon. It’s called coaching Steve.

Guest Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I can see him using Joelinton where Almiron’s been playing and Carroll up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I don’t think he’d dare switch from this system. I can see Ritchie back for Willems and Carroll for one of the front three though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I can see him using Joelinton where Almiron’s been playing and Carroll up top. While I'm sure Joelinton can do a job as a wide forward, there's no way he could bring the ball out from deep positions and transition it across half the pitch in the same way Almiron does. Although if you are just wellying it long from back to front I suppose you don't have to worry about such details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I don’t think he’d dare switch from this system. I can see Ritchie back for Willems and Carroll for one of the front three though. Agree - can't see him being brave enough to change the system in any way, shape or form tbh. He'll have hated the criticism. For all the 'I know what I signed up for' bollocks, he'll have been scarred big time by the abuse. The fat fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 There's absolutely 0 chance Willems keeps his place long term like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Dropping Joelinton back will make him look much better, but whoever plays in his place will just have the same problem unless we push up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 You're forgetting though, Andy Carroll is one of the best target men in the league when fit a Geordie. His hold up play geordieness is brilliant and will take us to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Don’t get why he’s not had a chance on the left. Was bizarre when Carroll came on, Joelinton came over to the left and ASM on the right...why doesn’t he just play Almiron left and ASM right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I agree. Almirón doesn't seem suitable at all for playing on the right. His directness and technique doesn't work for a position where he has to stop and switch the ball over to his left foot or use his much weaker right foot.

Kanj Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He’s gotta actually use his right foot ffs. That break he had was the most telegraphed attack I’ve seen in some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It isn't a lack of confidence, more a lack of technique. So clumsy on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It's clearly a lack of confidence and playing for a manager that doesn't coach the team. Decent player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think that is just an easy excuse to mask his limitations. Even when he first joined under Rafa, his heavy first touch was there for all the world to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he first joined under Rafa, his heavy first touch was there for all the world to see. Yet he was instrumental to our end of season form. He's no perfect, no one of our players are but there is definately a more than good enough player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is it seems to be his work rate rather than anything else that he rates. Sticking with him in the first XI and kept him on today because he ran a lot. If he played in his true position we might get more glimpses of what he’s actually about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
