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. 

 

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).

Aye same. 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.

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.

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.

I knew there was a hyphen in there somewhere, but I was confident MF wouldn't know.

 

Let's just agree to delete these last two posts.

nee sign of Tonali 

Part of his punishment was that he has to attend a load of classes in Italy. 

 

Good chance hes just back there for a while at this point. Little to be gained from him being at the club just now.

His ban means that there's certain parts of the stadium he's not allowed to go in on a match day. The dressing room will be one of them.

 

Waugh was talkibg about it on the Athletic Football Podcast this week. That they have to be careful on a match day.

Makes sense. You'd want to limit a recovering gambling addict's inside info.

Didn't mention it earlier but I was in hospital for this one (woke up in an attempt to watch it which was not very successful) and I'm definitely not reading anything superstitious into it nor offering to be back for any subsequent games!

 

Fantastic result obviously, so happy for Miley, such a deserved goal. We should have scored more on the balance of chances created. Good for Dubravka to get a clean sheet, made a good save when Joelinton slid the perfect through ball for them!

COVID/long COVID fucks your heart and lungs 


this has been going on since before the pandemic though. I suspect it’s because the game is as dirty as athletics or cycling.
