Inconsistent unlike his hard work, sure. Well, he literally has one foot, so that's always going to hold him back. If that wasn't the case, it would be transformational.

If that wasn't the case, it would be transformational. A lot of players are one footed, but some of them can use that one good foot to better effect than others can use two. Personally think his assets far outweigh his weakness. Howe has definitely got him attacking more aggressively, he's looking for goals now, and passes that can hurt the opposition. Previously I think Bruce, and even Rafa to some extent, took advantage of his work ethic and ended up making him almost an auxiliary full back.

Not disputing that but it does categorically mean he has limited abilities. What he does well, he does better than Murphy at the moment, but there are things Murphy can do that he just can't which give us a lot of alternate options and make us less predictable.

STM Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 What counts in both Murphy and Almirons favour is that they are fast as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Murphy is better at going direct, especially on the outside. Almiron wants to cut inside more, but his stamina is unmatched by anyone, he just never stops running. Must be a nightmare to play against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two footed Almiron would be really exceptional once you got his head into gear as Howe has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Not sure if I should know this but can Miggy speak English yet?

Newcastle Fan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This half alone tells you why we need to upgrade him asap, at the level we are going to be playing next season we can't afford players like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He’s a fantastic squad option. I love him and look forward to seeing him play for us next year but a more direct and more orthodox right winger who’s got pace but is also a better dribbler would be the dream as our starter. Diaby etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Very difficult to replace his pressing and work though, even though his finishing is mostly shit. Will be interesting to see what we decide to do. Maybe he could play RCM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He's got pace, grafts and presses well off the ball. That's it. He's not blessed with technical ability at all and in possession in incredibly predictable. Not good enough to be starting for a top 4 side but a good squad option to have with 4 competitions next season. He shouldn't near the majority of PL or CL lineups next season after this summer.

Ritchie Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He should be regarded as an impact sub now and nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Love the lad and he's fine as a squad player going forward next year, but he's defo one you'd consider selling if a club came in with a decent offer. He will be next to useless once his pace starts to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Needs competition on the right for sure, but when he's on a hot streak he can absolutely start for us, and be a great option off the bench when out of form. No issue with him starting the season in the first XI, as long as he's got quality competition who can win the shirt when he's on his "can't finish" streaks.
