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

[Newcastle Fan]

Looked really nice and composed when he played and did well for the assist.

 

I would like us to have players like him start more often, we have a long season and we can't start the same three every game, today felt like it made sense to rest the Brazilians with all their traveling and give others a chance.

[Weznufc]

Definitely think he shoulda started ahead of big Joe at least today, did well when he came on and nice assist.  

[Nucasol]

Light years ahead of Joelinton when he came on. Eddie saying Jo had a knock after international duty - slightly peeved he’s still not trusting Miley in those scenarios.

[Conjo]

Was it him that started the attack too for our goal before his assist with the through ball wide or Bruno?

[Andy84]

He’s ready

Didn't Miley also pull out of the U21s injured though?

Howe said post match that Miley hadn't trained for two weeks so he didn't want to risk him from the off.

It’s off the ball where he struggles. I like him but just is what it is.

yes, you can tell he spent most of his youth career playing as a 10. I don't really know why we see him as someone who should play deeper really. There is no aggression to his game. 

 

Final ball is his main skill.

Yeah I saw him a lot as a 10 and I really like him but he’s not good off the ball. Hes a stiff runner and he just can’t compete that way. 

[Wallsendmag]

Needs a run of starts now. Not a run of games coming off the bench but a run of starts.

[dcmk]

Should learn from the mistakes that we did with Anderson.

 

I trust him a lot more at the moment than Joelinton.  Super tidy in possession and very intelligent.  Deserves some starts now.

We don't play with a 10 which is probably why. Miley lacks a bit of mobility for an 8 as well imo, we could get away with it but Bruno is chronically slow so it will cause issues if they are played together. 

 

I think the sky's the limit for Miley but I'm becoming increasingly sure it doesn't happen for him here because we aren't set up to suit him. 

[Ginola]

Looked very accomplished tonight. Should have scored his header but pretty much flawless other than that 

[soyt]

Solid option

[AJ9]

Didn’t miss Tonali, because he played so well.

[Ronson333]

That’s the best I’ve seen him play

[jackyboy]

Very mature performance from Miley

[On the Grid]

Owned it

[Newcastle Fan]

The performance is no surpise as he was holding his own against PSG away at fucking 17 years old, kid is the real deal.

[Casey]

Proper steady. Well done son. No Tonali, no problem, on a UCL night no less. Should be good for his confidence and fantastic he's getting the opportunities atm. 

[GEFAFWISP]

He's always had the minerals, just needs more time and refinement. Go on lad.

[Nobody]

Shame Eddie doesn't give a chance to the youngsters mind

[Mole]

Not sure how it would work position wise with Bruno and Tonali but he's been the 3rd best CM so far this season so wouldn't hate seeing him get a run of games.

 

 

[HawK]

Needs to make that 6 position his own. Cannot be tackled, short option from defence, great at finding passes, stamina, presses. Who has his toolkit? Not seen a player like him.
