gbandit Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Didn’t think he was poor at all, did what was asked of him, he’s never going to be able to convince anyone of anything when he only gets five-ten mins anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll run from the first minute to the last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Howe's biggest ask is probably just that players understand and follow his instructions and Miggy has possibly just been a bit behind on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The Thread above this is about Elliot Anderson and i really hope that next year we get to see him play instead of this waste of space, hopefully we can make some money back when we sell him.

OCK Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The last few games he's just ran after the ball. I don't know if it's a lack of tactical awareness or an over eagerness to impress, but man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 he’s just not a very good footballer. lacks technique and intelligence. think that volley against Chelsea was the only time he’s struck a ball cleanly! nice fella, I’m sure. but another one that’s not good enough and will get peddled in the Summer hopefully. interested to see where he ends up.

I don't know if it's a lack of tactical awareness or an over eagerness to impress, but man. It's basically been his job hasn't it? He's been used as a late sub (exl Chelsea) to help us defend leads mostly. Edited March 16, 2022 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 He's just running and leaving gaps, and you can tell it distracts teammates who can't decide if they should be covering his position or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 He won't be here next season, one of the few we have that I don't think Howe will want to keep but also has some sell on value. 10/12m perhaps, a little more with add ons in the end. Better off having Anderson in his spot as he doesn't take up a squad space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I like Almiron, but he's one of those players who doesn't seem to have a natural position. We've bought a few of those under Ashley. Rafa obviously had a role for him, and for about 6 months he regularly linked the deep-sitting midfield with our attack and it seemed to finally click for him. But ever since Bruce, he has regressed and never really found a role. A shame if he goes that he never really broke through, but hope he does well if he does go.

elbee909 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Shame as he's always seemed a nice guy. I liked his cover of Smooth Criminal, in Alien Ant Farm, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 As long as he lands somewhere good I'll be happy for him. When the shit hit the fan under Bruce he never stopped working hard and trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 He’s been very unlucky, he’s also never going to establish himself again if he just makes the odd sub appearance. So probably best he moves on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 After the initial hope of that second half of the season spurred on by him, I'll always be sad it didn't work out. Seems to have a good attitude and will always run his bollocks off for the team but I think it says more about how desperate that Rafa team was for any kind of creative kick up the arse than his own ability. Even if he got more time in his favoured central position I imagine we'd be discussing who we'd like as his replacement this summer. Just hope he goes to a situation that favours him.

Consortium of one Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I will always love Miggy for his hustle, his effort and his professionalism. However, he really is quite limited as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Think Miggy will always be one of those players who shines in a non-elite league. Great work-rate, and decent technically. It's his decision making and physicality that let him down. Drop him in the Dutch or Portuguese league where he will get a touch longer before being closed down and I think he'd do well.

TRon Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Was really disappointed with him on Sunday, he really seems to have disappeared in games last few times he's come on. He used to be everywhere a year ago, now you can barely tell he's on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
