Absolutely nowt wrong with how we're set up, we just lack any quality whatsoever. Yes. And that's why we're set up in league games a lot more cautiously. No high press etc. Today is a perfect example of why. We lose the ball cheaply all the time, get caught out on the break and look completely clueless defensevely when we're not keeping a tight shape.

Trying to play the ball to a stationary Gayle in the box while he's surrounded by 3 players

Oh look! Another counter attack stopped by an easy pass behind the intended target. Every fucking time.

Just take Gayle off. He's not even trying anymore.

Yep and you just know he’ll have a hand in their first goal Thought he was being sarcastic but now I'm not sure

Gayle you mean. Gayle as a striker should be taking that on and smashing it There was nothing to take on. Ritchie made sure of that.

What should have Gayle done differently there The ball to him was utter shit.

Fucking hell. Ritchie cant pass the ball 5 metres. Good pass there and Gayle is through on goal, instead passes it behind him.

Erm. One was from behind one was side to side. Not exactly the same.

Stupid stupid challenge

Wow. Nice high pressure.

Jesus christ Gayle. If you're gonna dive all the time then atleast learn how to do it properly. That's just comical.

Darlow Mbemba - Lascelles - Clark Manquillo - Hayden - Haidara Saivet - Shelvey Ritchie Gayle

Yep. Shelvey has a special attribute that makes him valuable even when considering his shortcomings. Mitro doesnt.

Because he's not getting anyone in to replace him.

They are not to con the supporters. Fake bids are to con and undermine the manager e.g. the Sami Hyypia bid. Rafa, such a gullible bloke.

Sigh, ok, in the premiership then: Mitrovic = 1 goal every 4 games Gayle = 1 goal every 4.7 games Joselu = 1 goal every 5.3 games So yeah, Gayle has more goals, but he's played more games, so your point is moot. Actually if you factor in that Gayle scored a lot of goals as a sub he scores a goal every 206 mins whereas Mitro scores one every 226 mins.

Mitrovic in Prem 17/18 for NUFC: 1 goal every 152 minutes. You can make stats into whatever you want tbh. Yes you can but some are better than others. Like mine is better than yours. Quite obviously disagree with that, as mine is clearly better since it puts Mitro in a good light because I like Mitro. Compared to yours, which puts Mitro in a bad light because you don't like Mitro. Way off. It just has more data so it's more reliable.

6.8% actually. He has played 3 836 minutes for us and has been banned for 10 matches (900 minutes) I think. So out of a possible total of 4 736 minutes he's been banned for 19%.

No, but good news for post-Rafa time: He's a manager now. Although he's been sacked a couple times and burned enough bridges to be highly unlikely to get another job in Finland.

On average he's also banned 20% of the time.

If you want to make that "goals per 90 minutes" comparison accurate you should add in all the games he's missed through a suspension. 10 games I think.
