Can play either side and think he'd also be quality playing the Willock role as the most advanced of a midfield three. Would hope someone like Diaby will be a target in the summer as the first choice RW but Miggy will be reliable as fuck there whenever we need him to play. Was coming into the thread to say just this. He's exactly what you want in a squad player, will give 100%, and does actually have plenty of weapons to hurt the opposition, whether starting or coming off the bench.

The Butcher Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The fact that he played 90 minutes shows how far we are behind the top sides' squads. Offered nothing for an entire game, but still stayed on due to the lack of options. He must not be a starter in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Teams have caught on to the patterns of runs between him and Trippier. Trippier may get the odd telegraphed cross in from time to time, but both of them have been fairly ineffective for some time now compared to start of the season. Hopefully Targett is fit to play soon. Nobody cares to cover Burn regardless of how good runs he makes so they basically only have to cover whomever is playing left wing and focus more on covering the striker, Almiron & Trippier.

gbandit Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Love him, has a big part to play in our squad in the next few years, will always be a good option but in a final where you need a dangerous player on both wings he didn’t really offer that. I recognise that’s not always his game but it is really important we get a pacy, technically gifted winger on the right in the summer window to give us more options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't miggy doing that overlap run... If every now and then it meant trippier did a cross rather then the pass. At the moment we 100 percent do the same move with 100 percent failure. Even if we mix it up then it would give the opposition something to think about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fairly keen Fantasy Football Player (finished 65k last year). Anthony Gordon was a fairly popular "budget enabler" in the game. Cheap, took some set pieces, started regularly so towards the end of the season I had him in my team. When Everton were on TV towards the end of the season, he was one of the players I was watching closely. I didn't see much in the way of the genuine ability you would want from a wide player. Worked hard, put his foot in, liked to carry the ball but little in the way of cutting edge or quality. He's still young. He can develop. New team. Better manager. Better team mates. But I do think he's meant to be a starter on one of the wings. Him & Isak in 2 of the attacking positions. Pope Trippier Botman Bruno Gordon Isak That's the core of the next era. I expect us to add 4 or 5 in the summer for this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 So frustrating, i thought when he had his purple patch that he's changed as a player and will offer more in an attacking threat, then he went back to doing his whole running around without much purpose thing.

Tbf, doesn't matter if teams have caught on to the patterns of runs between him and Trippier, there's not that much you can do to stop good pass and move, which is what Miggy is excellent at. The patterns aren't the problem, it's the final ball or shot which sometimes lacks quality. Even then he's scored 10 goals and we still have 15 games to play.

andyc35i Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 My frustration with Miggy is that he always seems to do the daft thing when he’s got time to make a decision (wrong pass, poor accuracy, another touch or a cut back). I can’t get over that genuine chance we had on Sunday of scoring on the break in the opening minutes of the game where there were three players running ahead of him and he messed up the easy pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) He overran the ball on another one as well, when he was receiving. Looked the fault of the passer but IMO it was him for not holding in the space. He's also so extremely left footed that he's never going to be happy going down the outside. So that's a decision for the coaches if they can accept it. Nothing's really changed in the Miggy debate except he went through an unreal patch which has now ended.

The Prophet Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 A wide forward was wanted in the last two transfer windows for a reason. He's had a fantastic season and seems a great lad to boot, but his form was always going to be difficult to sustain when you look at the quality of the goals he was scoring. I'll be amazed if a quality replacement isn't sought in the summer with a view to him becoming a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
