Conjo Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, TRon said: It's weird how he barely figured under Howe last season, and we are talking half a season. Yet this pre-season he has looked head and shoulders our best forward by a mile. He has to start against Forest unless we are making some significant signings in the next few weeks. Maybe his performances were forgettable, because he started 9 times in the last 11 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We've got to know Miggy and what he has to offer. He took his goals well yesterday, but I'd need to see a bit more before revising my opinion of him. Certainly a good squad player at the moment, but I don't see him as a longer-term prospect.

buzza Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 He has been head and shoulders above the rest in preseason (seen two games) so far. He is a nailed on starter for the righ wing at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 20+ goals. 10+ assists coming up. Put your house on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee909 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hattrick against Man City coming up. Runs up to Grealish and farts in his face, which is easy to do with him being on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It's a nice "triangle" of understanding between Trippier, Bruno and Miggy. It has potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Has he mostly played RW in pre-season then? I haven’t watched any of the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I would love it if this preseason form just keeps going. Miggy fixing his finishing and positioning with the work rate and stamina he has would just be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thought his second goal was a superb finish. To take it in his stride and put it exactly where it needed to go, was great tekkers. We've seen players have barnstorming pre-seasons before and do nowt. Recall Damien Duff scoring about a million goals one year, and he was shit. Optimistic about Miggy though.

Guest reefatoon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Would be great if he can turn it around like Joelinton and Krafth. Think there is some extra levels in quite a few players that can come out. Amazing what some proper training, belief and confidence can do with a player. Keep it up miggy lad.

gbandit Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Similar technique on the second goal to his goal against Crystal Palace with a lot less lift on the shot. Opened his body up and put some curl on it. Maybe he’s going to turn into our Robben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Only just seen Miggy's two goals. Nice! Good position for first, second waa a nice precise low curl. Be fantastic if he can find his best for this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might even be as simple as he's getting to understand how we play now and is growing into being a right sided forward in the way that Howe wants him to play it.

Emotic Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Maybe he's been learning English with Bruno's tutor, and that helps with the on-field communication? I was shocked when I found out how rusty his English was despite him having spent years in Atlanta and Newcastle. Even Bruno was dishing out interviews better than him!

Yorkie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The two assists were both out of the top drawer btw. The first one needed the exact amount of power and direction to meet him and avoid the defenders; the second was delicate and precise. Miggy still had a lot to do, particularly with the second one, but the passes gave him every chance. Delightfully clinical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Trippier is a ridiculously good footballer like. I'm slightly worried he might physically decline quickly in the coming years and it might cost us defensively - but his ability on the ball is lightyears ahead of what we've had for years.

Yorkie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 My thoughts exactly, Sewelly. I'm nervous at the prospect of him getting burned by basically anyone with a bit of pace but on the ball he's a level above what we're used to seeing from players in that position.

sixx Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It’s kind of great that improving the RW is our biggest priority in the market yet it’s the position delivering the best in preseason. Goes to show there’s competition in the squad and underlines Howe’s ability to extract the maximum from average players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
