A few sloppy passes. Not being negative towards the players they've given a lot and haven't had any kind of reasonable rotation for a lot of them. Miggy is a hard one, he puts the graft in but long term I'll not be disappointed to see him used for LC cup games or as a sub. I hope Chelsea won't come too soon for some of them. Miggy had the best running stats and pass completion of all the goal scorers they flashed on screen on the stream I was watching. Got five shots away and got his goal. I agree he needs to be replaced at some point but for now, he’s fine. There are much more urgent areas that need to be addressed first. And even after he’s upgraded I can see Howe wanting to keep hold of him as a squad player - he’s a Howe player and is more than capable rotation option against lower tier premier league sides. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaner has been criminally overlooked.

I totally get his attributes and do appreciate them honestly but I can't help but scream at some of his shortcomings on the the right foot. (I realise this is a lot down to Eddie who plays him on the right but it seriously does my head in and I promise, his good points doesn't go unnoticed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate his positives but his extreme one footedness is offensive and fucking ludicrous for a top level footballer. And for that reason he's the player I have the least patience with.

Dr Gloom 19933 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Miggy just isn’t an elite player. But as frustrating as he is, he does a lot of the things Howe demands really well. Edited December 16, 2023 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30652 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Ideally he’d be at the level in the squad currently taken up by sone one like Ritchie. Ditto players like Jacob Murphy. Except Howe would trust them more in terms of rotation and sub appearances than he does an over the hill Ritchie. But we’re just not at that point yet. He’s got goals in him, even if he should score more, plus his work rate and attitude is spot on. He’s frustrating as fuck at times but when you think Bruce practically forced him out it’s mental really. As he’s been a massive part of our progress since the takeover. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16902 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Biggest frustration with Miggy is he can score wonder goals and set up superb goals and get back and help out Trips. He's got that in his locker. But Far too many times he thwarts our own attacks because of his inability to cross with his weaker foot. Or play a ball with it etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobElliott 1004 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Miggy runs his ass off but it drives me nuts seeing him cut back every time. The opposition gets that extra couple of seconds to get back and we lose an opportunity. It was great when he was scoring worldwide every week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
