Geordie Ahmed Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 He was superb, composed and the part of his game which was great to see was the physical side, seemed to win a lot of tackles and was nicking the ball in crucial situations He picked up decent spaces in that second half just ahead of Bruno but it was annoying instead of playing him in Bruno would try to take on one world, the rest of the players need to trust him more, he's shown he's very capable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Said before that I reckon his long term position might be as a #6. Excellent in tight spaces, rarely gets caught in possession. Once he fills out a bit I reckon he'll be a bit of unit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Thought he was our best player for most of that and balanced work off the ball really well with his usual moments of passing quality. Think the rotation of him as DM is clever too considering how he usually gasses out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 (edited) it would be interesting to see how he’d get on with Joelinton and Bruno around him .. as opposed to Longstaff .. or with Tonali. Defo one for our future this lad Edited February 17, 2024 by dave s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Sexual pass to Barnes(?) in the first half. Nice to be reminded he has that in his locker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Probably his best game for us. Read the game a lot better from that position and passing was great. Still should be a year or two from being a first team regular but loads of potential. As much as him having to play hasnt been great for us it could pay off long term.

toontownman Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 (edited) Hope we get to see Miley with Tonali and Bruno in the prem. Might never happen but even Brunos replacement and both Joe's back healthy we will hopefully be back to having some strong options in midfield to play with.

Menace Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 He's already surpassed Longstaff for me - I think we should move Longstaff on should we need to balance out the books. This guy Tonali and Bruno could be a very exciting trio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Miley hasnt the legs yet for that role and can't read to cut out the passing channels yet. He's still a load if potential and that potential may not come to fruition, His performances would be viewed differently if he were older, they are viewed differently because if his age.

dave s Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 (edited) in a couple years this lad will be the upgrade to Longstaff we need without having to buy anyone. for now we just need Tonali playing, and Joelinton and Willock fit Edited February 18, 2024 by dave s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth trying imo. Miley has done the Longstaff offensive runs to get into good positions loads of times, particularly that period when Miley played in Longstaffs position while Longstaff was on the left, so it seems he's well aware of the instructions and pattern of plays required by Howe. The question is how the team functions without Longstaffs mythical impact nobody can quite point out what is except that he runs a long distance over the course of a game which must be good.

The lad for a 17 year old has got fantastic passing range. He’ll fill out in the next couple of years and with his height and technical ability, we’ve got a real gem. I couldn't believe that pass. Best of the match..I had a perfect view of it from my seat and shared Barnes' thoughts. Unreal. Best player on the park yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted February 27, 2024 Share Posted February 27, 2024 Doesn't bring anyhting to the midfield. Very pedestrian and gets caught out too often and/or misplaces easy passes too often. Needs a loan or something in the summer, really hope joe and anderson stay fit as he is killing our midfield. Yep, I know he is 17, that is why he should be given game time elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted February 27, 2024 Share Posted February 27, 2024 Not a CM really, more of a CAM. He’s not really up to it physically off the ball. He’s great on it though. Also still very young. Would like to see him play in the 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
