If we revert to Miggy at RW it really underscores the failure to improve that position in the summer. We’re trying to engineer a move away for him in January. It would be a desperate move. 

Bollocks. The value of Miggy got reduced on his obvious shortcomings. But his work rate when pressing and his tactical understanding of the game, especially with Trips behind him really never got the appreciation it deserved.

 

I seriously get the impression that people are watching a different kind of sport than me.

 

And it’s certainly not directed at Gloomy but reading some things here as well as on other places it looks like the spoilt brat brigade has taken over and there is no distinction to clubs where some fans think they are entitled to success.

 

It really does piss me off at the moment.

What is bollocks exactly? Genuine question

 

Let me break it down: there’s a reason Miggy has barely played for a season and a half. He’s been shit since we finished 4th (appalling via both the eye test and the lack of goal contributions) and Howe clearly doesn’t fancy him anymore. There are much better options in the squad at RW, despite the lack of depth in that position, and I’ll eat my hat if Miggy starts against Liverpool. What’s spoilt about that? 
 

edit - that’s why I think we’re selling him in jan and why he’s unlikely to play many more minutes for us

I think ultimately there are players in our squad who could play regularly, who wouldn’t play for teams who regularly finish top 4.

 

Murphy, miggy, Kraft, lascelles, targett and longstaff (I don’t think longstaff is anywhere near as bad as some people make out), would barnes get a game at Chelsea for example? Even Wilson, he’s a great goal scorer with a massive asterix against him cos he can’t stay fit. They are hangovers from a different era imo.

 

All in all, it points to Howe doing a very good job imo. He has got a tune out of players who I don’t think are European quality players for 3 odd years (with the odd bad run). Class manager and fully back him to figure out this “bad” run too.

I was far too harsh. But the lack of appreciation what Miggy actually contributed to the team does really piss me off. It’s also why I think that people will be surprised that a new player on the right wing won’t be the magical solution.

 

I might’ve picked the wrong post to express my frustration but at the moment I am actually much more frustrated with the attitude of our fan base than the poor performances of the team.

i actually like Miggy. I was one of those who thought he earned a new contract after we finished 4th, hoping he would kick on under Howe, so it was all the more disappointing when he reverted to type.

 

He does have attributes. He executes the press better and faster than any of our forward players other than Gordon. He could actually be useful in this game for that if Gordon played on the left. But his offensive output has been awful for ages and I just don’t see Howe starting him. I think he’s off in January

Yeah. Sounds like he is off. We’ve been stinking on the RW this season so if he can’t get a game now he never will.

Great post. 
 

BTW I still have Miggy’s signed shirt that I drunkenly purchased. It’s yours for £250 +P&P.

I am just drunk posting crap but not drunk buying crap.

[ewerk 30761]

Well call it £240 then. 🤝
