  1. What's embarrassing? People are saying he keeps missing sitters and he does. People go overboard with the criticism and the praise. If he was converting his easier chances I'd say he'd been brilliant. If Riviere was missing the chances Mitro is he'd be shot with s***. These posts in the bottom are an example of posts that are embarrassing after the game he had today. I also don't think his finishing is going to be dogshit forever or that the veranda spider will forever shoot better than him. He has scored 20 goals a season already in his career and he is only 21.
  2. He's fucking brilliant and some posts in this thread are an embarrassment. Goals will come.
  3. Correct, but he has it in him to be just that. That remains to be seen. I hope you're right. Actually his general all round play outside the penalty area was really good but he's an awful finisher. I always think a strikers instinct is one thing you can't teach someone. Can I ask why out of interest? At the exact same age, Shearer had scored 3 in 5 (the famous hat-trick), 0 in 10, 3 in 26, 4 in 36, then 13 in 41. It was that stage he got his move to Blackburn and he took off. Mitrovic has a better record abroad and doesn't have the benefit of having the comfort of having his season aged 21 in an environment where he's grown over the years in familiar surroundings. I don't see why he can't go from the above figures to the 18-20 mark in a year or so because his all-round game imo is pretty spot on taking everything into account. To say he'll 'never be prolific' is bollocks. In fact I'm sure on one of those Premier League Heroes programmes with Shearer, I remember an interview being shown when he was a kid at Southampton saying something like, "I'm not prolific but I'm happy my game helps the team", or words of that nature. Look what happened to him.
  4. No point selling in this situation but he probably wants to go himself.
  5. Two nice passes to Wijnaldum from Tiote that Colback would never have even tried.
  6. Right, because everybody always has the exact same opinion on a decision once we've seen the replay. There'll still be plenty of controversy, video refs will make decisions people don't agree with as a huge percentage of decisions are subjective. What this could cut out, however, is blatant cheating and absolute refereeing howlers that cost teams games when everyone can see an injustice has been done. I've no idea why anyone would be against it in a sport so badly littered with cheating. I don't get the romanticization of massive errors by refs and people saying they are part of the game.
  7. He hasn't been as bad for the past few years as some very loud people have been telling everyone here on N-O. A fit Tiote with a run of games behind him is superior to Colback and Anita in everything a CM is asked to do. He just can't stay fit and will probably be injured again if he plays regularly. CM is the top need for January.
  8. I doubt Nice and Real Madrid are his only options.
  9. What? The poor shot I think, not the one for the penalty Ah, didn't know people used AIDS as a substitute for "bad". That's AIDS awful.
