The worst player by far this season!  Sorry but that's how it is.

[McCormick]

[David Edgar]

Thought that was his best game of the year. Still plenty to come.

Aww man, I felt ok until I read this. I genuinely hadn’t realised 

[Kanj]

Watching that Bruno turn and thru ball over again you wonder if at some point he could become a throwback 10 with how he just smoothly plays those cute little touches and balls thru

Glad someone finally had the balls to say it.

I genuinely think that would be his best position tbh, but it’s just not something that seems to exist in football and modern systems anymore.

 

With Bruno I think it could work though because he’s still very good at pressing and winning the ball. We’d need to find another player who can come deep and receive the ball from the GK/CBs though.

Tonali

[Tiresias]

I'm fairness this is why false cbs and false full backs were invented to allow more midfielders to push up field in possession. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

The 4-3-3 can easily flip into 4-2-3-1 in-game. It's why I'm so excited about Tonali getting a run in the team, he's a genuine option to enable Bruno to push up when we need to try it. 

[Tiresias]

Of all the tactics in the world i still hate the 4-2-3-1 and the double pivot most of all 

 

It's not really anything to do with what people are suggesting here, there was just period in premier league when every team had to have 2 defensive midfielders sat in front of the defence not doing a whole lot and keeping games down to low scores. I know it doesnt have to be so defensive but i hear double pivot and i want to cry

Maybe. I think we need to see a bit more of him to see if he’s safe enough to play there in the PL.

 

Tbf, am I right in thinking when Bruno first came into the side we had Shelvey as the DM and Bruno as an 8?

Bruno played as an 8 last season against Forest away I think and played it well. Can't remember who was the deepest player but I think Miley's long term future may be a deeper lying midfielder

Expand  

I think Miley is quite similar to Bruno in that he could probably do both well but also lacks pace to the extent that he’ll need someone to cover those deficiencies. Plenty of time for him to improve physically, mind.

[Sibierski]

Miley I really hope we get back soon, don't want him to lose a season when he was fairly on fringes of being a starting player for us.

[PauloGeordio]

 

[80]

I trust that's a message of support rather than him actually starting...

Played alot as a number 8 in the first season with Shelvey sitting too and bagged a fair few goals.

don't mind if he starts at all. Still looks like he needs game time to me. 

[TRon]

Would rather he was on the bench. Getting benched for the odd game would be good for his psyche IMO.

Have we won a game without him being involved since he signed?

If we can't win a home game against Wimbledon when he doesn't start then we have bigger problems than we think.

Not since his first start. We did after he signed and before he first started, in March 2022.
