I agree with you that he started ok and his holdup play was decent in the first 30 minutes.
The problem with him is that he is to slow, not a good finnisher nor has the work etich to compensate for his flaws.
He looked totally knackered before half time against Derby, and was strugling to keep up with the pace of the game. I dont think we have ever seen him in form nor with confidence, but will we ever? People say that he needs to be given a fair run of games, but whenever he is given he either gets injured or a red card.
He should be bossing this league, instead he looks below average. I do like Mitrovic because he is a Newcastle fan, but I just dont see a future for him in at our club nor the Premiership. I hope I am wrong..
