Ronson333 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It’s time for him to be starting ahead of Big Joe, especially for home games. Yesterday against Fulham - and against Bournemouth too - it’s clear we can’t control a game with the current midfield. He’s a talent - probably the best one to come through in a decade - and needs games to progress further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The current midfield that was lauded as best in the league if not Europe? Crazy what two defeats has done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Mover Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Had to go and find Miley on the second page. I think he flies under the radar a lot, he's not flashy, doesn't get into fights and get booked, he just gets on with it. He finds space and virtually never wastes a pass. He's press resistant and never seems hurried. He does need to get more involved, the more we ask him to do the more he'll show what a good footballer he is. Not at all sure what his best position is yet but that will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he started alongside Bruno and Tonali, I think we'd see a much better player and he'd certainly be more forward thinking. He's going to be class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 That was a tough game for anyone last night and as an 18 year those 105 minutes will have been great experience. Agree with the comments above, he's very calm and assured in all situations, even against top European CL sides as he showed last season. There's a lot more to come from him in terms of the eye catching stuff, final passes, set pieces and scoring goals but for now he's ticking along nicely.

Not at all sure what his best position is yet but that will come. I have always thought that he has been playing well within himself in order to do exactly what is being demanded by Howe. Minimal risk, focus on positioning and ball retention. He is doing it brilliantly. But with that said, I reckon he is gonna take the safety off eventually and start to make things happen and really take control of games. I can't wait. It's like those situations when he receives the ball and there is the possibility of turning into the space and either driving forward or passing through the opposition midfield. At the moment he ignores that and will just recycle possession. But I can tell he could easily play the more expensive option and chooses not to take the risk.

Gawalls Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 So many times yesterday they tried to hurry him but he just doesn’t have any of it, turned away from their man, found space and made the sensible pass. Going to be a great player and I agree he should be playing with Bruno and tonali Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Miley has a sixth sense of knowing exactly how much time he has got on the ball. Rarely wastes a pass. He’s going to top class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 He certainly seems more mobile this season. I know it’s only been cameos and against lower league teams. But he has been impressive and looks very calm and assured for his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hope he’s ready to be used more during the last 3 months of the season. I think we need to find out how good he really is in a match day environment, not just in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted Saturday at 16:57 Share Posted Saturday at 16:57 One of the few positives from today. For me he has to be the 3rd in midfield while Joelinton is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted Saturday at 17:26 Share Posted Saturday at 17:26 Should play ahead of Willock really. He's worth investing the time in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdoesit Posted Saturday at 20:45 Share Posted Saturday at 20:45 Agree with all of above re. Lewis - found it particularly interesting how players were looking to find him in the middle a lot of the time once he came on. They see a lot more than us lot in training, I think he seems well thought of amongst his peers. Willock has his part to play - he's lost a bit of spark, but what a great backup to have. Him and Big Joe have that "Bash Bros" thing going, which is always helpful, but his output was minimal today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted Saturday at 22:02 Share Posted Saturday at 22:02 4 hours ago, Pilko said: Should play ahead of Willock really. He's worth investing the time in. Looked like Tonali shifted out to the left and Miley went to the right to accomodate him so not sure the balance will be right over a longer period. Felt a bit sorry for Willock, the midfield was quite solid until the first goal, then everything fell apart. He was doing his job up to then, even if he wasn't pulling up any trees.

Gallowgate Toon Posted Saturday at 22:10 Share Posted Saturday at 22:10 I'd start him against Forest, if there's no Joelinton. Only alternative may be if Botman is back that we go 3-4-3 with Bruno/Tonali as a 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted Saturday at 22:11 Share Posted Saturday at 22:11 Thought his influence was growing in the later stages of the last game, was hoping he'd start ahead of Willock. Needs more minutes to demonstrate his ability to influence games, he's moving towards first contender for the big Joe position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted Sunday at 08:03 Share Posted Sunday at 08:03 Surely is moving up toward being the next midfielder in line to start. Hes much better on the ball than Willock or Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes much better on the ball than Willock or Longstaff. I can't really see anything that Willock and Longstaff offer that he doesn't. Maybe pace in the case of Willock, but he rarely uses it effectively nowadays anyway... It would be easy, on the other hand, to list qualities that Miley brings to the table that they don't. For me, it's an easy choice at this stage. The only reason he isn't starting is inexperience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
