Lewis Miley: signs six-year contract extension (Official)


Recommended Posts

Wonder if  Miley gets a run of games at RB now instead of Murphy. 
 

If EH thinks he’s ready it would be great for his development. Work on his tackling and defensive positioning. Also gives him some time and space to get his head up and play some forward balls.

I'd definitely trust him there ahead of Murphy.

EH isn’t big on trusting young players even if the older or more established players are hugely off form or just crap/barely doing anything on the pitch (see Isak last year).

 

Just hope Miley is ready. Would benefit so much from more starts.

Quite happy to see him start there for now (next 3-6 games). Presuming Trippier and Krafth should be in some position to return at that point (mid Jan).
 

Ultimately they needed to get fresh blood in at full back regardless with Krafth and Trippier contracts expiring in the summer. If Shahar isn’t getting the nod now like Miley did in 23/24 then EH is unlikely to see him as ready until next season.

Assuming he is at RB again today it will be interesting to see the shape we take in possession. Full backs push up nowadays but his positioning was so clearly in the midfield at times.

It is so obvious how he plays to instruction, sometimes almost like Eddie is guiding him by remote control :)

We sure he’s not a right back?!

He has been turned a couple of times, but for a lad out of position he's barely looked out of place. He's got a football brain for sure and I love his inverted fullback shenanigans going forward.

He's basically as much a right back as Lewis Hall was a left back when he came here. No reason he can't grow into that position, not that he's even looked like he needs to grow into it today.

They’d have more joy if they moved Neto over there. One because of his pace. But also because even when Garnacho got half a yard. He ran the ball off 4-5 times :lol: 

 

Can’t imagine Garnacho will be coming back out this half. He was dreadful and Miley played him like a fiddle both ways.
