Despite being just 17 years old, Lewis Miley has shown promising signs in the central midfield role for Newcastle United in the Premier League. Miley is an astute player with great ball recovery skills, often dismantling opponents' attacks to regain possession. His aerial duels win percentage and general dual win percentage both stand out significantly, demonstrating his physical prowess and tenacity, despite his young age. He also portrays creativity in his gameplay with a decent chance creation score suggesting his ability to provide opportunities for his team to score goals.
However, Miley's game does come with a few concerns. He struggles with progressive carrying and passing, meaning he somewhat lacks in driving the ball forward and delivering long, incisive passes. His pass accuracy is relatively low at just over a third, indicating he needs to improve his decision-making and execution in passing. His ball retention also sits just below average, implying there's work to be done in terms of holding the ball against pressure. Despite these areas for improvement, Miley's potential is undeniable and he can develop into a top-class midfielder with the right nurturing and training. His youth is a significant advantage, giving him ample time to fine-tune his skills and maturity to develop into a central figure in Newcastle's squad.
