Availability is the biggest one right now and consistency. He was also playing on the other side and didn't really do anything wrong either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 I noticed it for the Wissa goal, but not for Miley's. Love how both times. He shoved them back towards the crowd to go and get some more love and soak it up on their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the extra pace will save a few goals over a season. Provided he can actually stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as he doesn’t start getting injured like Botman, truly thought he was a transformational player, then the injuries pile up. Not sure what they’re doing with Botman but he needs a long time out an a whole new approach to movement in general it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 People are underestimating Botman, when he has been playing he has had Burn at LB next to him and Trippier on the other full back. If everyone was fit (which I get is the main issue at the moment) and we could field Tino - Thiaw - Botman - Hall, I am pretty sure everyone would remember just how good Botman is.

Vaj Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 Also, on the subject of Thiaw, I loved it when he gave Kevin all the space in the world to go on the outside of him in the first half in the box because he knew he would have it covered with his pace.

It gets brushed off but it's valid. His whole NUFC career he's had Burn outside of him. Probably a handful of games where he & Targett/Hall have played together.

MagSA Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 Just seamlessly stepped into the fray and is now one of the first names on the team sheet. consistently high performance levels in each game. His anticipation and positioning is pretty awesome to watch. Seems a bargain of the decade at today's prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 Loved him pushing Miley towards the fans to celebrate. Sure he's done that a couple of times with different goal scorers now. He fucking loves it and we love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to them going on about what a miraculous touch it was by Pedro post match, but I'm sure if Thiaw doesn't slip he gets his body between the ball and Pedro and snuffs it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
