Right, I know people get excited about certain players but can I give my two penny worth.  First of all some fans said ginger Longstaff was fantastic.  That's  just a reminder.  Miley to me in all honesty is doing a decent job.  Nowt special.  Just calm down people because seriously "at this moment time" he's OK.

Not sure you're watching him properly tbh

[Collage]

Unreal at that age. We should expect a backlash but fucking hell

[MrRaspberryJam]

His best performance tonight. Very Longstaffesque. 

[christ]

Thought he more or less ran the game in the first half. Ridiculous how comfortable he looks on the ball at his age.

[Decky]

You completely forget this lads age man, an absolute pro and he has big future. He’ll be around the first team now for good.

Well apart from the commentators and pundits mentioning it every time he touches the ball ?

[Miggys First Goal]

Looking forward to selling this lad in a few years for £100 million.

That was when we were shit and Miley is 17.  He's not 18 until May either.  To not give the lad credit for this is ridiculous.  He doesn't look out of place whilst playing against some of the best in the world.  He played against a 127 Million quid world cup-winning midfielder last week and looked the better player.

 

We shouldn't apply pressure to him, but he is there, doing a good job and we should be singing his name.

He's 17, was fantastic

[Whitley mag]

He’s nee Matty Longstaff like.

[black_n_white]

Some of his play is effortless. Wait until he gains more confidence playing in the team. Special talent.

[BonesJones]

It's like he hasn't registered that it's a PL match, seems more like just another kick about with his mates, no pressure. Does all the simple things well, gets into good positions, offers himself as an outlet, very direct with his passing into Isak. Things to work on obviously, but I rate him and not even 18 yet wtf.

 

I hope we can continue to find him minutes even when players return. Based off the performances of team as a whole since hes come in, maybe it's his spot to lose.

 

My prediction is that if this kids game time etc is managed well, which it will be, we have a midfield general on our hands with the size of the him. Maybe I'm going overboard but it's hard not to back an academy player that's made it this far and looked like he's been doing it for years.

[Whitley mag]

Plays with his head up and always seems to have time on the ball, at 17 that’s quite something we should absolutely be getting carried away about this lad.

Howe's done unbelieavble work with players in their late 20s, even 30s. The thought of him moulding a top talent from age 17...skys the limit for him.

[nemtizz]

Didn't even think to claim for the AWB 'handball'. Kid's elite.

[Smal]

silver lining of the injury crisis is that we’re getting this lad some development. He could be a star for us for 15+ years.

[joeyt]

His first touch is class 

[Ikon]

Absolutely brilliant. Especially in that 1st half. 17 ffs  So composed and plays with his head up. He has footballing IQ. Already better than Longstaff imo. Not seen much of him yet but I don’t need to see more to eat him higher already. Sky is the limit. Level headed kid too. Love it. 

[Infatuation Junkie]

He can’t even get served a bottle of dog yet man.

I’ve just read he was 13 when we first went into lockdown. Fucking hell ?

 

If that's correct I am fucking dust.

I don't know how we ever replace Bruno, but maybe we let him help develop this kid into his replacement (when he retires here of course).

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was his best game for us, so composed, excited to see how far he can really go

 

He's always played with confidence but when you more than hold your own away to PSG then it's bound to have given him an extra boost and that was evident tonight 

 

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

We’re so lucky he’s mint.
