xLiaaamx Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Did well today. Struck the ball better than he used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Still think he should go central and Linton wide, but we’ll see. He did pretty well and was very unlucky not to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he'd be better attacking wise centrally but I feared for us when he went off and ASM was covering his place. Joe was there too but Almiron works his socks off going bacm and links up well with Manquillo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I have no idea which foot is supposed to be his strongest. Honestly looks like he has no idea either. Comes into great finishing positions on either side, but just resorts to shuffling the ball about. No shooting instinct whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was going in but got blocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did pretty well and was very unlucky not to score. Was gonna say the same. Dunno how suited Miggy is as one of those inside forwards/wingers who cuts in. Meanwhile, Joe is doing this wide, combative target man thing so well. Miggy buzzing around causing a nuisance in the middle might be best for the two of them. Then again, he grew into the game well today and on another day might have pinched a goal. I'm just glad he's in the team; he's got his flaws and weaknesses and, like so many, suffered terribly from the transition from a real manager to a non-manager - but if we can get him and the other three gelling, we'll win games.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Did something it feels like he used to do a lot but hasn't in an age... Make a run in behind the defence. Some good efforts today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeepShow4life Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 He's good defensively on the right side but doesn't offer much offensively. Should be played more centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I noticed Howe gave him an extra big hug at the end of the game and Miggy was beaming with happiness. If Eddie wants a forward who'll press high and put the work in, he'll not find much better than Almiron. Howe is just the type of manager who can instil that extra 10% confidence and turn him into a real player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't be too surprised if he leaves in the summer. Been a bit of a disappointment overall during his time here, imo. Hope he can turn it around and become the player we all want him to be, but I must admit I have my doubts. Was okay today, mind.

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thought he was poor early on (who wasn't) but played better as the game on, was involved a lot when we were really putting them under pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 He's always like this, runs around a lot but with little to no impact, its been said above but that run he made for his chance was a collectors items, for a fast player he hardly ever makes a run that's threatening, and at certain points in the game he looked like a kid playing with adults, towards the end he got better and helped Manquillo out a few times but i'm still really not convinced with him as a player/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 A 'kid playing with adults' is a pretty bizarre overstatement in the context of that game. He was fine. He made tackles, kept the ball moving, made a couple of good runs, forced a decent save and was a block away from maybe sneaking in a goal. Also made some poor decisions in good positions. My main criticism of him over the last 2 years is that he's become too passive. He too often takes a safe route which is a routine he needs to get out of.

Beth Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 You can argue he's been "Bruced" to a degree but I've never been a fan of him and never will be. Theres a lot more to being a footballer than the ability to run around alot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I thought he was going to score that chance in second half that got blocked. Loved this bloke today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbee909 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Had some good on-target efforts. Hopefully will kick on from his second half performance. If you don't like him... well, I'd rather have him on than Hendrick etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 In most games I watch and go to I pick out a player and watch him , today Miggy caught my attention , in a bad way . He came across as a nothing player who ran around actually not touching the ball and offering very little. He had a better second half but his play in general was way below the standard we need , he will struggle to keep his place going forward if this is how he performs.After all though I always feel better if he’s in the team , no idea why , sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Disagree.. He showed more attacking intent over that 90 minutes than Fraser or Murphy have. Watched this on a dodgy stream, but the game highlight reel is all Miggy inthe second half. So, yeah, if we're bringing Dembele or some such, he's way below the standard. But in that position, choosing between Miggy, Fraser, or Murphy, I'll pick him every time. It's his first start for Howe. Let's see how things look when he's been de-Bruced.

Think my finding were based mainly on the first half , as I stated he improved in the second and I have pointed out he was better second half . To me though overall he’s a disappointing player , when he first came he was a breathe of fresh air , now I’m not sure what he brings ? Just my opinion mate , I’m usually wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He’s had a poor year but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. A consistent run of games under Howe and I think he’ll thrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 It's a strange situation because he can be extremely frustrating to watch and often seems to shoot when he should pass and pass when he should shoot - but - he stretches play and presses incredibly well and the team seems to work better with him in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
