Dr Gloom 23011 Posted January 30, 2024 Share Posted January 30, 2024 Just now, Alex said: I know but he’s not exactly Roberto Baggio, threading balls through the eye of a needle to the centre forward in that position. When I’ve seen him play centrally it was in s different formation to the current one but he was the furthest forward of a midfield 3 and chasing and harrying. So playing as one of the ‘8s’ shouldn’t be a million miles away from that. i agree, particularly if Bruno gets a two match suspension and we don’t loan any midfielders last minute because we don’t have many options other than moving trippier, hall or schar into midfield or throwing in one of the kids - both seem unlikely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23011 Posted January 30, 2024 Share Posted January 30, 2024 I also think injuries and suspensions mean we might be better off tweaking the system but Howe doesn’t seem to want to deviate from tried and tested 433 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 384 Posted Saturday at 21:02 Share Posted Saturday at 21:02 Will miss him. Favourite Miggy moment. Middle of his hot streak where everything he hit with his left was going in, Spurs away Joelinton bows to polish his boot...Miggy the gormless twat lifts his right foot up. Joey's reaction like, "not that foot man you daft twat". 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 7194 Posted Monday at 08:59 Share Posted Monday at 08:59 Goodbye Miggy. He always gave 100% and had one amazing season that propelled us to CL football. He'll be welcomed back with open arms in the Toon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 48190 Posted Monday at 09:03 Share Posted Monday at 09:03 Bye bye Miggy. You took the same approach to learning English as you took to kicking the ball with your other foot, but as mentioned you had that mental run where you couldn't miss and it was great. Good luck in Atlanta. 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 11174 Posted Monday at 09:51 Share Posted Monday at 09:51 Shame his best mate isn’t there anymore. He’s fucked off to Canada - probably via an ICE van knowing the yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23011 Posted Monday at 10:09 Share Posted Monday at 10:09 He and ASM were standout players in a poor team. He played out of his skin when we finished fourth. He always had pace to burn but he managed to add some absolute wonder goals in the process. Great memories. He worked as hard as anyone else in the team. Shame he couldn’t keep that form going and it is clearly the right time for him to move on but I loved his attitude. Good luck with the next chapter Miggy! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10134 Posted Monday at 10:23 Share Posted Monday at 10:23 He was the first bright spark for a long time when he signed for us. His ability often didn’t match his efforts but he was still a lot better than a lot fans said. They will move on to a different scapegoat though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 3320 Posted Monday at 10:34 Share Posted Monday at 10:34 It's nice that he got the chance to go out with a win and the away support singing his name after the game. Good luck to him. He'll be a top player in the US league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he had to hit it on his right from a tight angle, so never likely to score Edited Monday at 10:59 by Dr Gloom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, speaks volumes for his attitude and aptitude that the club that sold him to us want him back 6 years on. Wish him all the best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1322 Posted Monday at 11:11 Share Posted Monday at 11:11 Decent deal for everyone and good luck to a lad who always ran his bollocks off for the team and provided some light in the dark times and wonderful moments in the season we finished 4th (as well as that goal against PSG). I am a bit concerned this leaves us short on the right side though. Murphy is having an exceptional run at the moment (some might say similar to Miggy's from a couple of seasons ago) but I still have doubts over his ability to keep it going, after all it's not that long ago he was getting jeered off the pitch after putting in another stinking performance. I hope he can because no one else seems to really want to play there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Murphy can continue anything like his form from the last couple of months over the rest of the season it might prove to be a masterstroke that allows us to go all in on a new right attacker in the summer. If it goes wrong, it could result in us having a poor end to the season and losing Isak and maybe others due to the lack of Eurpoean football.

Kid Dynamite 7421 Posted Monday at 12:17 Share Posted Monday at 12:17 This is Murphy's 7th season at the club and it's only the last 3 months he's managed to play consistently well. We've been here before with Almiron. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
