No one can hate Miggy, he's just so lovable.

 

Well, part from a lot of people on this forum

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

In my continuing pro-Miggy campaign I would just like to say he was great yesterday. Provides so much energy and drive, love the lad. 

[Newcastle Fan]

It was so obvious since last season that he's one of the main players we need to upgrade from going forward, yet we spent our window  buying players in other positions and then having to play a right back to replace him while chasing the game at the Ettihad, we did well getting Tonali but a LB and a RM were the absolute top priorities after that.

[WilliamPS]

Everyone knows Almiron’s limits, as well as the FFP constraints, not worth raging over.

 

City are the best team in the league, with top defenders, you can’t expect miracles.

 

Almiron will have a good season, in line with his ability

[Aiston]

The abuse of him is fucking unreal on this forum. Completely undeserved.

 

Yeah, quality wasn't there against the best team in the world...yet he was the only fucker trying to get involved every chance possible, making himself open for us to get an avenue going forward.

 

 

 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Should've been off about 10 mins earlier for TINOOO imo.

[Donut]

Yeah he had a bad decision but overall I think the hate is overblown. He was double marked by two of the best defenders in the world all game. We didn't adapt to this.

It's genuinely embarrassing to read 

[Viana]

Miggy's consistency rests in his industry and hustle. 

 

His inconsistency in output is what stops him being truly elite. 

[Smal]

if you are getting mad at individual players, especially the ones who run about giving everything, for us losing to Man City you’re off your fucking rocker.

[HaydnNUFC]

He was good last week, poor in the toughest game of the season. His decision making and one footedness does hinder our attacks, mind.

[nemtizz]

I think it's ok to get frustrated with our players limitations

[The College Dropout]

Thought he was our best attacker today personally. At least for 20 minutes in the second half.  Very anonymous first half.

He had a poor game, but he wasn’t the only one to have a brain fart when he had the ball in promising positions.

[The College Dropout]

He’s a limited player but anyone with any sense knew that.  

[wiseman]

Wouldn't even say he had a poor game, he was our main outlet against the best team in the world, guy worked non stop all game, and even when he should have nothing left in the tank, he stills finds more to keep going. 

[Newcastle Fan]

I can't help but feel we really missed a chance with not getting Diaby when the chance was there.

[TheBrownBottle]

Bless his cottons, the lad grafts his arse off.  He’s a limited footballer, but we know that.

 

I think we all know he’ll get ‘transitioned’ out soon, probably next summer.  But that industriousness will put the shits up the PL’s lesser lights. 

[RobS]

frustriating night for Miggy tonight - got himself in some fantastic positions, but miss handled the ball or made the wrong decision when it mattered. We looked a different team offering a first time hit right footed cross once he was replaced sadly. Love him and that grin, but needs upgrading next summer.

[The College Dropout]

I was more annoyed that Livra was his replacement. Most of our rivals have a better starting option at RW but they also have better bench options too. 

[Pilko]

Worked hard, got shown up for having little quality. He'll have better games than that against worst opposition but tonight even the basics were poor with the ball.

[The Prophet]

Did well to with his running and ability to creat overlapping opportunities for Trippier, but poor with the ball at his feet.

I don't think Diaby is the answer at thus moment in time 

 

Yes, he's better than Miggy going forward but he doesn't offer the same defensive support and at the moment we need that 

 

The final part of his game was off today but it's one game, that too against the best side in the league, I'm sure Miggy will be fine this season 

[Mattoon]

First time I've seen him that gassed, gave his all tonight, literally running on empty and was still our brightest spark at times. I want him to be better than he is, can't help but love the guy. Purple patch Miggy would be here for a while.

For all the good we've done this window it's really disappointing that Miggy will be a starter this season. Rome wasn't built in a day an all that, but I really, really wanted that shiny new RW
