Solitude20 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 He was rumored to be offered for loan late in the summer window, it was a good call to keep him. Imagine if we didn’t have him with the current injury situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if we didn’t have him with the current injury situation. Not sure what those rumours were based on because Howe made it clear early in the summer that Miley was too young to be exposed to a loan and that he would be around the first team squad Obviously the intention would not have been for him to play this much but he's shown he very much belongs at this level. With players back fit we can be more selective with his development Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thought he was excellent last night, he’s second to Bruno at playing through balls in the squad, at 17. Ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thought he did very well last night. Seems to be getting better with his positioning as well. He's a gem for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three midfielders were awful in the first half. Bar Longstaff's goal they could have all sat the half out and it wouldn't have been too noticeable. In the second half, and more so after the second goal, they started to impose themselves a lot more and they all looked a lot better. Miley started showing up everywhere in the last quarter of the game and looked pretty good. Bruno, Longstaff, Miley as a midfield doesn't work but it's all we really have available unless we want to start shoehorning less suitable players in there.

HawK Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I didn't think he was very good. He's got quick feet and excellent decision making, great at passing. He needs to learn how to be available to receive the ball. Longstaff has a similar problem. When we're under a tight press, neither are available to receive the ball. It looked like Bruno vs the world last night in the midfield, it was a very difficult game for him. He just needs more games, more experience and I think at a lower level it would be easier for him to fill in this part of his game without being punished so quickly. The more he gets on the ball, the better for us because when he's got it, he's great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham’s heads dropped and so did their press after the second. We were more confident, but Fulham definitely helped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad has technical ability, and he’s very, very young so hopefully he’ll develop in the coming years. Incredible where he is at this age - but he’s not at this level yet.

When Bruno has the ball and being pressed, the options to release it quickly are very limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I think he's getting over-hyped if I'm being honest. He's a promising talent at 17 and does the basics really well but we won't know how good he'll be for a few years. He needs to fill out and currently seems a bit one paced Hopefully the limelight won't change him, it doesn't look like it will so encouraging signs but every time he farts the commentary is how nice if smells Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure what he was offered would have been a massive jump from what he has been on, easy to have your head turned by that. As I would also guess that his new deal is mikes away from Longstaff or Joelinton. Possibly similar to Anderson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Delighted with that I feel he's been playing quite 'safe' recently and would love to see the shackles come off him in the next few years as I think he's got huge potential.
