I think he is a sub tonight? He’s definitely listed there

He came on in 81 mins. They were 3 nil down to Milan by that point.

Football is football, regardless of language or country. You’d think from some comments that every player at Motherwell is Scottish.

My earlier point was aimed at what I see as managerial bollocks, not at the fact a player has moved from one country to another.

If he'd played any games this season before we sold him he'd be getting played sooner.

It's not exactly UEFA Pro License science to think that he needs a few weeks to integrate and get match fit.

Ten minutes at 3–0 down for his debut. Some man management. That’s UEFA Pro Licence science for you.

Its 10 minutes more than he had last week.

Next week he might get 30.

The week after he might get a start.

Willing to bet thats the most minutes any 19 year old Scot has had in Serie A.

Having watched their game against Inter, they have some seriously good midfielders.

Its not Harry Paton keeping him out the team.....

It was that UEFA Pro Licence science keeping him out of the team until 81 mins tonight.

Funny that you mention Harry Paton. Apparently he has signed with Forge FC, a Canadian Premier League team that play their games in Hamilton (Ontario).

I'm starting to think you've never seen youngsters integrated into new teams before.

Giving them a 10 minute workout in a game with no pressure is pretty standard.

Otherwise you end up with fans posting on websites calling them dug shite because they hadn't got up to speed instantly with their new team mates the first 60 minutes they played.

I understand the idea of easing youngsters in but let’s not pretend this is the same situation. Miller has already racked up plenty of first team games for his age. A token 10 minutes at 3–0 down does nothing for his development and only wastes the opportunity to actually test him properly.
