mighty__mag Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We could be a tiny bit carried away, I was only saying yesterday in the Bruno thread, how Bruno literally does all the work in midfield, giving others the freedom to express themselves, basically Bruno makes other players look better, but dont get me wrong, Miley is on an upwards trajectory, he has a coolness and calmness about his game, with players like Bruno to learn from he can only keep adding more to his game.

GeordieDazzler Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Couldn't have two better players and people to help him learn in the Brazilian lads. Read in the guardian Miley is a futsal champion from his younger years - probably helps him fit in with the samba football!

Whitley mag Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Someone in here compared to him Jenas when he first burst on the scene at Forrest, whatever we think of Jenas in his time here it’s not a bad comparison in terms of style. Think Miley has even more potential though just a shame we didn’t keep hold of Bobby Clark as well, Miley, Clark and Anderson could have been our midfield it was wasn’t for the fat cockney parasite.

gbandit Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The Anderson - Miley comparisons are a bit lazy like. Miley is clearly a midfielder, whether he plays in a box to box role, or higher up the pitch is to be seen. His ability to receive the ball and release it is second only to Bruno really. Anderson is a wide player who hasn’t shown much in midfield. He’ll ever play in an advanced wide role or as a left winger. His game doesn’t look very versatile but he has excellent close control with the ball and fantastic movement. I’d expect them both to be a success in all honesty. Miley has more to his game and a much higher ceiling but I think people underrate Anderson’s ability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Anderson will be just fine, why compare them.

Lush Vlad Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The confidence on the lad. Had the stones to look to force the issue and even try back heels and flicks. All in front of an impatient/expectant crowd and at the age of 17. Fucking madness. Looked a simple enough finish. But we’ve been anything but clinical of late and he did well not to snatch at it and that set us on our way. Different players. But he’s already better on the ball than Longstaff.

Expand Yes - 3 with us and 1 at Sunderland. Think it is the younger one (Mason) at Newcastle who is meant to be the best of the 3. He is a box to box midfielder. The youngest (Layton) is at Sunderland’s Academy and is a defensive midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
