jesus christ, terrible marking

That's not a suprise. One striker today, counter-attacking mentality... Probably Gayle in XI and Joselu on the bench. I hope that Mbemba gets a chance.

so, no players from our squad at WC?

Yeah, Mitrovic scoring a penalty, silencing glory hunters

Just scored a goal from a header v China.

I'd normally go along with this type of analysis, how you miss is sometimes more important than the miss itself. But I think he lacks bottle to play for a club like this, and that's a bigger issue. Mitro isn't a good finisher either, but he has much more self belief. I think that he's a good finisher. All his goals this year are some quality finishing. He missed the chance against West Ham, but that was more Hart's save than Mitrovic's miss. Against Forest in League Cup he scored a beautiful goal. Against Preston, he scored that goal while throwing three players and goal keeper on their backs. And most importantly, Joe Hard will always remmember the day when Mitrovic sent him for newspappers. I think that he was under pressure in the first season. Age 20, everyone's expecting from him to score every game. That's a lot for a young man. Harry Kane was still going on loans at his age. Anyway, it really doesn't matter atm, he's not in anyones plans and we are playing Gayle and Joselu and we should be supporting the lads and we shouldn't be killing their morale after every game. That puts them under pressure, and we don't know if they are good players under pressure.

And counting... Edit - just looked and he has 3 red cards in his entire career ffs A ‘walking red card’ according to some. Not seen red since May 2016. 4 in his time with us (I'm counting the suspension this season obviously). Which is a red card every 15 matches or so. 3 if you're counting the suspension. Two reds in the first season, and 0 in the second season.

Had a good game. Happy with his performance. With a decent run of games, he will score more goals.

We had it coming. They outplayed us in 2nd half and we missed our chances in 1st half. I'm still for 4-4-2 because it was pretty effective in the 1st half... 2nd half, I don't know how to describe it.

At least you won't have to continue pretending to be an NUFC fan. At least that's a good thing

no, no more this s**t, I would rather not have him at all at the club than to watch how Perez is playing before him in 2 striker formation... absolutely humiliating for Mitrovic and for everyone who watched Perez this 11 games

Can someone explain to me why did we play long f****ng balls when Joselu and Mitrovic weren't playing... Murphy, Perez or Gayle should be winning headers or what? ffs

good job perez, useless f***

hand down that transfer request you s***d f**k, 4th striker, f***ing Perez plays before you, ffs

Why are we playing long balls without Joselu or Mitrovic, what the heck

Should've scored at least one. Atsu and Manquillo are worse than others today. Ritchie and Elliot are great.

beauty

toon army crying for 4-4-2 since 2015

That's the only way for Mitrovic to be on the bench

So, according to SkySports, Mitrovic is off to Anderlecht or Brighton or Southampton in January because he doesn't play and there's a World Cup, where he wants to play as a first striker. If he's not on the bench today, than that's that, for sure. At least he's a wanted player, unlike Colback.

Just wait and see when this happens: Elliott Yedlin Lascelles Lejeune Manquillo Hayden Shelvey Ritchie Perez Atsu Joselu

What Chelsea did with Matic this summer is Mike Ashley levels of stupidity

one game

are you forgeting that he's Spanish?

at least there's a good song to sing when mitro's on pitch
