Not every player needs to be a hard tackling box-to-box grafter. It's all about getting balance in the team. Â Totally agree with your 2nd point but your 1st point is not what I said. Top players are constantly wanting it or trying to get it back. Big difference to what you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly never hurts to have additional attributes although I wonder if he’s a bit constrained by the style of play and the roles given to him. The likes of Messi and Modric are great players and popping up all over the park but they are given free rein to roam. Especially with Motherwell, Miller is given a specific role to play and that his responsibility but I get your point. The more boxes he can tick in midfielder attributes the better he is going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller's best position in my mind is in middle directing traffic from deep but he's been played further forward for ur recently where although done OK I don't feel he is on ball enough to utilise his passing which is strongest part of his game I feel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS someone needs to get a hold of these FIFA and UEFA idiots and stop all this nonsense with so many games between UEFA competitions formats and international leagues or whatever the Fk it is now and let countries have their own seasons  it used to be reasonable with knock out competitions and euro/WC qualifiers, now it’s just ridiculous and purely greed. the players Moan about too many games so maybe they need to step up to the plate and get things back to being a bit more reasonable. it’s made even worse nowadays since we are more global and end up with players traveling all over the place 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because Kettlewell has turned a goalscoring club captain into a headless chicken. Although he has also been injured recently which meant he's probably dropped down the pecking order a bit. A shame for him, but he really needs to be banging down Kettlewell's door asking him to play a system that suits him; otherwise, his signing will prove to be a waste of our money and his time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I wasn't expecting a goal machine after a few starts even without injuries or new babies, or round trips to Oz to get in the way. Wenger used to say it took 6 months to adapt to a new team in the same league. Longer if you came in from a different country.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Stama not being picked this time round will be good for him and us in the short term. Last break he travelled to the other side of the world and played zero minutes. His move hasnt been straightforward having to relocate his wife and newborn child, getting injured and the aforementioned travel. He really hasnt had any opportunity to settle down and show us what he can do. After this break he will get a run of games and we will hopefully start getting more players back that will allow SK to have us playing in a way that suits him. Long term we need him playing well, scoring goals and being selected for Australia as, I presume, the plan is to sell him on down south for a significant fee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 I wouldn't be surprised if his recent move, injuries and the travel involved have played a part in him not being called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
