80 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 35 minutes ago, Aiston said: Looks good going forward, the combination of our 3 in midfield cannot work together though and none of them are particularly helpful when helping out the defence. I take your point, but he was scrapping well today. Most combative I've seen him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) First half he played a perfect ball to Barnes out wide, even Barnes didn’t think it was going to stay in. The lad for a 17 year old has got fantastic passing range. He’ll fill out in the next couple of years and with his height and technical ability, we’ve got a real gem.

jack j Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thought that was one of his best games for us? Completely carried longstaff. When bruno was playing ahead of them both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Such a quality young player, keeps getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 He was superb, composed and the part of his game which was great to see was the physical side, seemed to win a lot of tackles and was nicking the ball in crucial situations He picked up decent spaces in that second half just ahead of Bruno but it was annoying instead of playing him in Bruno would try to take on one world, the rest of the players need to trust him more, he's shown he's very capable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Best Newcastle player today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Said before that I reckon his long term position might be as a #6. Excellent in tight spaces, rarely gets caught in possession. Once he fills out a bit I reckon he'll be a bit of unit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 His eye for a pass is something else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thought he was our best player for most of that and balanced work off the ball really well with his usual moments of passing quality. Think the rotation of him as DM is clever too considering how he usually gasses out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) it would be interesting to see how he’d get on with Joelinton and Bruno around him .. as opposed to Longstaff .. or with Tonali. Defo one for our future this lad Edited February 17 by dave s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Sexual pass to Barnes(?) in the first half. Nice to be reminded he has that in his locker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Probably his best game for us. Read the game a lot better from that position and passing was great. Still should be a year or two from being a first team regular but loads of potential. As much as him having to play hasnt been great for us it could pay off long term.

toontownman Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Hope we get to see Miley with Tonali and Bruno in the prem. Might never happen but even Brunos replacement and both Joe's back healthy we will hopefully be back to having some strong options in midfield to play with.

sugoinufc Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 really good game yesterday - probably his best so far. Exciting times ahead... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 He's already surpassed Longstaff for me - I think we should move Longstaff on should we need to balance out the books. This guy Tonali and Bruno could be a very exciting trio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Miley hasnt the legs yet for that role and can't read to cut out the passing channels yet. He's still a load if potential and that potential may not come to fruition, His performances would be viewed differently if he were older, they are viewed differently because if his age.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Not sure Longstaff affects the game much at all, but people seem to disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) in a couple years this lad will be the upgrade to Longstaff we need without having to buy anyone. for now we just need Tonali playing, and Joelinton and Willock fit Edited February 18 by dave s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth trying imo. Miley has done the Longstaff offensive runs to get into good positions loads of times, particularly that period when Miley played in Longstaffs position while Longstaff was on the left, so it seems he's well aware of the instructions and pattern of plays required by Howe. The question is how the team functions without Longstaffs mythical impact nobody can quite point out what is except that he runs a long distance over the course of a game which must be good.

That's when I thought Miley was at his worst off the ball and we were passed through repeatedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
