xLiaaamx Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 We're not falling for Almiron scoring a few in pre season right? We don't suddenly believe he's going to provide regularly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to be relying on it, but it's possible that he's learning how to play under Howe, and he's struck up an understanding with Trippier. I don't think they played in the same side much last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was looking much improved towards the end of last season when Fraser went out injured, then had a few good appearances for Paraguay. Goals have only just started to come now, and are likely not super indicative of a PL goal return, but he has certainly earned the spot, at least against Forest.

We don't suddenly believe he's going to provide regularly? Why not? Its not like they've all gone in off his arse. He's getting into good positions, linking well with Bruno and Trippier and actually seems to have some conviction in his shooting. Of course he could have JDT moment against Forest and it all goes out the window but as it stands today he has improved our RW position from last season and bought the powers that be a little time to get a real improvement signing through the door Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 He scored 2 great goals against Benfica, give him some fucking respect. Our fans love to just trash our own players constantly, it's fucking annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that Howe will have taken note of Almiron's willingness to get into goal scoring positions and will now be encouraging him to do it more. Miggy's a confidence player, and if he's given clear instructions I think he's the type who would thrive on it. That's coming from me, I've been slagging him off for months now, but he does sniff out those chances, and if he can be convinced he's a goal scorer, who knows? He could get double figures this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Maxi and Wilson are hands down our best forwards, but like the rest of our attacking unit, they don't contribute to our ball retention at all. I do think we'll be looking at a forward who can hold up to the ball and link up play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers did well getting him on a Bosman and curiously even better selling him to us for £8m 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
