Matt Miazga playing for Alaves

Seems it was postponed because of changes in the CONMEBOL release schedule:

Down 2 goals in the first half hour.

 

About to be added as the third Early Releg candidate to Fürth and Norwich.

 

No Venezia? And there is someone in France as well. We are big in those big 5.

 

Nope. They defeated Empoli away, with Busio playing 90. It may be the best YA league result so far this season, actually.

 

Osasuna is not mediocre, they're QF Europa quality.

PS: Of course, the Europa is not exactly high quality at this point, so if you're talking about La Liga alone (not in general), yes, they're mediocre for La Liga and expected to finish in the #6-#14 range.

 

Osusana, oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Pamplona to put Alaves o'er my knee...

 

Well, Furtg, Norwich, alaves, Mallorca, venezia, and Troyes all are newly promoted at least some are going to be one and done.

 

I don't follow Alavés but I know the fans so far are ok with Matt. Which is remarkable, since the club doesn't have an active forum and the opinions are mainly put on Twitter and Reddit, places not particularly known for their love of American players.

BTW today I learned that "miazga" means wood pulp in Polish (and should be pronounced mee-AHZ-gah).

 

alaves have been in la liga since '16

 

Misread that one - on the bench ...

Makes a late appearance:

Up 1-0 early. (Only their 2nd goal of the season).

 

Didn’t watch game but looks like he got good marks in their win!

 

Certainly a huge win for Alaves and Miazga. This is an outright theft of points as this was not the game you would have expected them to grab 3. Hopefully this gives the team a bit of confidence moving forward.

 

First victory for Alaves over Atletico Madrid since 2003...and due to a huge defensive effort from the team ....with Miazga playing all game...

promising start for him in La Liga.

 

Exciting result for Alves and Miazga. The return of Griezeman to AM not going very well, so far.

 

He didn’t get up all that far, but his hang time was amazing. He had to circle for two hours on delay, and the ball just came to him eventually.

 

Gotta give credit to him. Hope he can keep them alive all season!
