    Its an opinion based on his Premiership stats for goals and assists which are quiet frankly appalling for a "Premier League player".

    He is the Premiership Duncan Watmore. He runs around alot like a headless chicken

    He should thank his lucky stars Joelinton is there as it takes the spotlight off just how garbage he is

    35m ffs haha

    Just not suited to the defensive football employed by Bruce or Benitez.

    An attacking team/methodology will see him using that endless energy in better areas. Not that complicated and pretty obvious if you actually watch our games. Saint Maximin is the same. Very little goals or assists, but talent is obvious. Wilson again is the same too, he'd be better than one in two in an attacking team. Playing in attacking roles for Newcastle under Benitez or Bruce is thankless.

    Playing attacking football with **** players gets you relegated, but so dies bruceball.

    Counter attacking isn't one or the other it's just a style the average idiot can't decipher from attacking or bruceball

    This old chestnut, its just garbage. Plenty teams with not particularly good players play attacking football and stay up. Leeds are currently sat in 12th 10 points clear of relegation, with a fairly average set of players. They were told by all and sundry that with their players, playing the way they do having just come up, they'll go down. They attack balls deep and have got their rewards which just renders that whole assertion as horseshit. Many ways to skin the cat.

    No it isn't...

    Counter attacking is a style very different to Bruceball and the numbers back it up

    Leeds say it is buddy. I can drag out countless examples if you like? You've just become conditioned to negative football since Pardew left is all.

    Even if that was the case, and I don’t think it is I would rather play attacking football anyway. Think though you would see a lot more players start to actually improve due the fact that they are allowed to go out and play the way they want to. Certainly it would give our better players a boost as they would be seeing more of the ball.

    As a neutral if you had to select a team that you least liked to watch in the PL we would be the top choice, probably followed by Burnley, then Crystal Palace.

    I am just glad we are on at times here that I can use the excuse of needing to sleep.

    As you love a stat:

    Miggy - 24 Games - 4 goals 1 assist
    64% starting XI Games Started in the league this season and 63% of mins played.

    Compared to:
    Fornals at West Ham - 24 Games 2 Goals 3 Assists 79%GS 72%MP
    Eze at Crystal Palace 27 Games 3 Goals 3 Assists 76%GS 75%MP
    Armstrong at Soton 24 Games 3 Goals 3 Assists 79%GS 76%MP
    Klich at Leeds 28 Games 2 Goals 5 Assists 89%GS 83%MP
    Doucoure at Everton 25 Games 2 Goals 3 Assists 89%GS 85%MP

    All of who are similar players in similar positions with more than Miggy in terms of starts and mins played. None have scored more than him...the only ones with more goal contributions are those who have played more.

    Don't worry about our lads marra, enjoy your pizza trophy and your push for the turd division playoffs :emoticon-0148-yes:

    All fans wanted before rafa came was players that gave everything, so they got exactly that and then of course moved the goalposts.

    The cycle will continue

    Not all fans.

    I want to be entertained. End of.

    I would rather be entertained and relegated than win the league grinding out 38 1-0 wins.
