BrettNUFC Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I see similar in Rondon at West Brom but at least they try to play to his strengths and have shown a lot of faith in him even if he isn't banging them in weekly. Always looking to get crosses in the box for him, or looking to play the ball into him then him bringing others into play. Mitrovic needs to be shown faith and patience. He's not going to learn or adapt by sitting on the bench but in all fairness to Cisse, he's came in and did well so unfortunatley for Mitro he will just have to ride this spell out on the sidelines and take his opportunity when it arises. Still have no doubt he will prove an absolute class act, not only for us but the inevitable 'big club' he ends up at in his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 You clearly don't rate him by saying 'i don't think Mitrovic is that good'. So i'm just asking for a bit of expansion on that to why you dont't think he's that good? I don't rate him as highly as a lot of people here rate him but he's not a bad player or anything and he will probably be a good footballer in the future. I'd prefer Cisse at the moment mainly because Mitrovic rarely looks like scoring while Cisse always gets a few chances when he plays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 With Triggs. Mitro looks a talent but he's not so good that it's unfathomable for Cisse to play ahead of him. Cisse looks more dangerous and is better in the box for me. His all round game was good enough on Sunday for once too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse looks more dangerous and is better in the box for me. His all round game was good enough on Sunday for once too. Credit to Cisse, he's came in and put a shift in along with a good performance but no denying the dropping of Mitro was harsh. The service he had been receiving was dreadful, the lack of crosses into the box was shocking but that's down to the fact Sissoko and Wijanldum offer no natural width so if a cross is delivered, it's usually relied on Janmaat to provide it. Mitro just has to ride this stint on the sidelines out. Keep his spirit and motivation up and take his chance when offered again. Be a travesty if we manage to fuck this up because all the talent is there with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don't really see what the issue is, strikers get rotated at other clubs as well. We are talking about internationals here as well,no one should be guaranteed a game every match unless they are banging them in. A bit of healthy competition is good IMO.

The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 A little time on the bench won't kill the lad. I'm always wary of the "service" talk. People said the same for Cisse when truth was he just wasn't on his game. With Mitro - we could definitely throw more balls in the box but his general movement in the box could improve.

Service is pretty vital like. Cisse got a decent cross last week and buried it in style. His game is all about getting on the end of crosses whereas with Mitro you could just lump it long and he could win a few knockdowns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Cisse's all about movement imo. He's not great in the air and he's a decent finisher but his attacking movement can be great at times. He generally has zero interest and build up play, he wants to go towards goal. The cross was great last week but it was his movement that got the goal. He anticipates where it's going to be delivered perfectly and stole a couple yards.

The debate is pointless but you're right his hold up play is not that bad. He's not going to hold players off like Mitro but he can usually get the ball off quite effectively when needed. I think people see what they want to see with some players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 His hold up play used to be OK, he's always been sloppy when his mind wanders but for the first year/year and a half he was fine even if it wasn't quite enough to warrant a place in the side when he wasn't scoring. For a while he's looked absolutely useless though, he no longer looks capable of creating something out of nothing either, he's effectively Darren Bent which 3 years ago I'd have barked at the comparison. Hopefully it's all mental and he can sort it out, I do miss unplayable Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 His tackle on Lallana was dodgy as fuck and he ran the wrong way when Anita needed an option. He's a sly fuck. I don't like his face. He played fine for the most part though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 that chance he fluffed does highlight how thick he can be. he changes direction and runs into 3 defenders rather than into the space in front of him so he can hit it across mignolet.

Exiled in Texas Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Cisse's best move yesterday was managing to stay out of Gini's way for the first goal. Could so easily have screwed up that goal. Luckily he was just able to stay out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 He played very well overall yesterday. Mitrovic wrecks him in every department in terms of hold up play, passing, heading, shielding, etc. What Cisse still has is that box movement that is deadly. Strikers who don't rely on service are usually your world class types who score and create on their own. Unless people somehow want to see Cisse try and create his own goal again and run into 3 defenders and then not pass the ball off then you'll see less goals from him. Feed him based on his movement and he'll get goals. Unfortunately he's either hit or miss and when he's miss, generally his general play is awful. Yesterday he did something different, he got on a good chance (but was called for a foul) that was a classic Cisse style of attempt at goal. He didn't really have much else but his overall play and movement and work ethic was quite good. Funny that you noticed De Jong barking at him all match telling him where to be and such.
