JumpersForGoalposts Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I hope when we play Man City Miggy scores the winning goal and later gives that Purple Drank driving nonce Grealish something to actually roll around on the floor about. Can't wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 3 hours ago, TotalWar said: I could be wrong, but I feel Miggy played as an old fashioned 10 in the first half against Atalanta. Especially early in the game he, as well as leading the high press, attempted to control our offensive game. Not sure if that role is now classed as an 8 as ive never played football manager. He seemed impressive in that role, I can imagine Eales saying that’s exactly how he played in the USA. Yeah Miggy is kind of the same story as Perez, a number 10 in a team that doesn't play a number 10. The obvious difference is that Miggy doesn't have the absolutely sexy finishing that Perez would show on occasion, but maybe he'll surprise us this season. Thinking back, such a classic example of the dark times under Ashley was the period we spent playing Ayoze Perez as a lone striker. What in the very real fuck was that.

In the last four months or so, Almiron has scored two worldies (for Paraguay against a good Ecuador side; for us against Palace—our goal of the season?) and 6 goals (two assists) preseason. I don’t want to slur Ayoze, not least as you say because he wasn’t usually played in his strongest position, but suffice to say that I’m not sure his finishing is any sexier than Miggy’s on the above run of form.

I’d focus on Benfica where he was on the right, BUT with Trippier on the ball in the final third he was able to attack the inside right channel, and crucially Trippier had the quality to find him for the pass. I think that is something we could see a fair bit when they play together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 To be fair, Ian picked Pardew for his dream (manager) once and we only ended up and finished 5th. I now suspect Miggy to score 20 goals this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I'm not having that like, I'm a Miggy supporter and his goal versus palace was definitely goal of the season for me, but it's less of a sexy finish and more of a superb all around goal. The context, the pass, the run, the headed first touch, fending off the defender, and then yes a world class finish. But was it sexier than this one? No it was not. That's some sexy shit right there. Not saying it's a better goal, it's not, but it is a sexier finish. Edited August 5, 2022 by Miercoles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Praying for a Miggy goal today. It could transform our season. Or if he shanks a couple of easy chances will confirm we desperately need a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Apart from one or two ridiculously one footed moments, I thought he was really class today. Some beautiful runs, and lovely link up with Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) I'd say Bruno has had a huge impact on him, not as much as Howe ofcourse but you can see those two play well together and do definitely have an understanding in a similar way Bruno and Joelinton do.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Lots of energy, some excellent runs and less ponderous in possession. Overall, a very good day for him. He just needs to get into the habit of being confident enough to hammer it with his right foot if he gets a sniff of a chance too rather than cutting back, as it seems defenders expect him to do that.

Sima Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 That chance where he was six yards out and was petrified to hit it with his right, man. Ended up outside the box trying to shift It to his left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 He put in some decent balls in the box. I think the reason they didn't end up at a Newcastle player's feet was because Forest had about five defenders in their box at all times. It got past two or three players but they literally had their DM in the box sweeping up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
