Stifler Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I find it amazing how often the media overlook how much he gets back and the get on his back when he slips up elsewhere. Such a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Talent wise as well tbh. Just we’ve only seen him used properly a handful of times under Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Think ASM and Wilson are miles better in an attacking sense personally but if he puts in that much of a shift defensively every game its going to be a massive plus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My fave Mexican since Perez and Rondon and before that the Robledos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He creates loads of room for them with his runs too though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Almiron causes problems for teams in his actual position of behind the striker. West Brom away in the FA Cup last season he played there, scored a brace and played a key part in our 3rd goal. Bruce takes him off and we almost fall apart, conceding 2 before seeing out a 2-3 win. And again v Leeds the other night, he caused them problems, scored, then Bruce brings Gayle on and puts Almiron back out wide and we fail to get a foothold back in the game. Hopefully we keep this quasi 4-3-3 moving forward, we looked after the ball better and were a threat throughout the game today while still being organised out of possession. No need for Bruce to shit himself due to injuries or because we're playing a team higher than us in the league and go with 5 at the back which we barely win using, saps the effectiveness of Almiron, Lewis, Wilson et al.

Tsunami Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 He’s clearly not the most talented player at the club, enthusiastic yes. Put a great shift in today, if he had a bit more talent he wouldn’t be playing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have broken him enough to never realise it but we haven't seen what he is fully capable for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Aye. He was just beginning to settle when Rafa left and his performances were pretty good, and he was clearly enjoying himself. Then the arrival of Bruce. All of a sudden his familiar smile started resembling more of a grimace. One of the main reasons I couldn't watch anymore, same with Schar. Didn't the ruptured one say he had to learn how to play right wing in a 442? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If he finds form till the end of the season, he'll be sold off in the summer. Unless we have the takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he’s not a bag full of tricks like ASM for instance, doesn’t mean he’s not as good/effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Had a stormer first half,lovely free kick too. Quieter second half but he seems to be hitting some form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 He was fantastic, I love watching him. I sometimes think 'this can't be sustainable though' - like there must come a time where his energy levels dip a bit and he could even be forgiven for getting pissed off his effort isn't matched by some of his team mates. But no, every week he leaves it all out there. Not many like him around still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Runs his bollocks off and seems to have a free role. Him being so one footed and no longer wanting to run past players is sometimes a hinderance, mind. He has the pace and footwork to beat people. But rarely seems to do it. One thing that is great to see. Is that he has a free role in an attacking position. But works hard for 90 minutes. Things like tracking back and tackling Townsend fairly late in the game. Fair enough he was maybe a bit deeper by this point. But it’s great to see and means it ‘should’ be hard for Bruce to drop him or change his position yet again.
