Lewis Miley

[TheBrownBottle]

It’s kind of unnerving when there’s a close up and I’m reminded that he is a kid

 

Plays like someone with experience at CL level - can’t think of higher praise for a young player 

[Kanji]

He’s special. Love this kid. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

The past set of games have been brutal with our injury situation but the absolute standout joy of it has been Miley

 

He's played more than he would have but he's looked better and better with each game

 

With players coming back Howe will no doubt ease the minutes and that's probably the right thing to do but what's clear is that he is very much a first team player

 

I absolutely love his ability to control the ball even under pressure, often a pass will be fizzed into him and he kills it dead with a control or he controls it into space and there aren't many players on the pitch for us that can do that

 

Excited to see how he continues to develop 

[Ikon]

Easily a better player than Longstaff already imo. 

[Ronson333]

The injury crisis has definitely given us two gems with Miley and Livramento, we probably don’t appreciate it right now but their development/talent has moved on years over the past 6 weeks. No pain no gain as they say, but the gain for us could easily last us a decade with these two.

I just can’t get over the fact he’s 17 - it’s a freaking joke - he defo suits the right side - once everything settles down a bit (ie fixtures) I think he will really begin to grow with more time on the training pitch with EH

Fantastic player, just needs to strengthen up a bit physically which will happen over the next couple of years

Yeah -  can’t really work on that too much just yet as he is probably still growing - once this stops then bulk him up 

[Kanji]

He takes far less risks than Longstaff in passing and is still developing his engine but he makes the safe and right pass more often than not which is amazing.

Even in the game against PSG away remember him playing two through balls in the first half, if Gordon or Isak read them everyone would have praised him even more. Longstaff after all these years is a great team asset but he doesn’t have that quality in his game. 

[Dan Gleebals]

Really like him and clearly has a lot of potential.  Where do people think his best position will be, hard to say because I think he could be one of those players that could be utilised in any position in the middle.

[Pancrate1892]

Imagine what we are going to be like when players like Miley, livremento, Gordon get into their mid 20s 

Even if this season ends up slightly disappointing (due to misfortune mainly no lack of effort) this season could set foundations for years to come

On the ball and man-to-man tackling yes, positionally/off the ball, not a chance...but he's 17, what a talent!

He should in theory mature in the next 2/3 years to be able to play all 3 roles - 6 - 8 and in a 2 - I see him as an all round midfielder

Anyone else see it?

He could be such a snivelling sack of shit, but fucking hell I loved watching him play football. Very few made what they did seem so easy and obvious once they'd done it.

[Lotus]

Think Miley’s physique and one touch passing accuracy will lend itself to seeing him playing deepest of our midfield 3 once he gets to grips with the tactical nous necessary.

[The Prophet]

Getting better every game. Thought he was a bit of Jermaine Jenas regen to begin with, but his ceiling is so much higher.

El nuevo Riquelme

[RUHRLYASLEEVESUP]

Tear in the eye 


So chuffed 

[cubaricho]

So so stoked for him. 

[frankpingel]

Definitely a different feeling watching him score. This bairn is special. 

[Jordan]

The composure on that goal to look up and place it in one place keeper can’t get to. Insane for a 17 year old kid. 

[La Parka]

Yeah. 

 

Kids boss.
