Just goes to show stats don’t tell the whole story of player performance. Miggy made that goal by winning the ball through sheer determination, hurling forward and putting in a delightful cross.

It was like the Perez goal v Everton soon after he joined. Almiron twatted one from about 30 yards that Pickford couldn't do a lot with, Ayoze taps in the rebound. It doesn't officially go down in the books as an assist but it couldn't have been more of an assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 It would be good to see him and Gordon swap sides more often during matches. Miggy looks way more of a threat on the left hand side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM suffered from this, putting countless balls on a plate for Longstaff et al to blaze over the bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I want to see more of Miggy on the left. If Isak is out for Luton, a front 3 of Almiron - Gordon - Murphy would press the absolute shit out of them. Edited January 31 by HawK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 That assist for the goal was top class by the way. I know he doesn't assist anywhere near enough, but it does go to show that he can do it. Obviously it helps on the left, he'd had have never made that pass on the right.

I can remember even before Howe came here we used to often get people wondering why we didn't start him more on the left. I don't think it comes naturally to him.

David Edgar Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 He had a run there late in Rafa's days when he looked at his best. I maintain it is his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I loved him as a left sided wide forward under Rafa - he was fucking rapid and incredibly unlucky not to score multiple times. It was only when ASM came in that we shifted Miggy to the right and the rest was history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 At least on the left his only option, literally, is the cross. Never going to cut inside and smash one into Row Z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I wonder if these injuries might force Howe’s hand into playing with wide men on their ‘natural’ side and not insisting on inside forwards? We played wide from the off yesterday. But with that front three that finished the game. We managed to stretch the back 4 even more a few times. Would really help open up space against a team more likely to sit in and might see some crosses/cutbacks into the box. As opposed to the constant chopping back onto the stronger foot, then losing the momentum and space we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting back inside is useful as a part of a winger's arsenal, but when it becomes the default it's counter-productive for just that reason you mentioned. It gives the defenders time to regroup, and then they facing the ball rather than chasing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
