TRon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 For all the talk about Cisse's poor hold up play, Mitrovic was pretty shit in that department today. He did work like a trojan at both ends of the pitch though. He did control the ball well under pressure but then failed to play the easy ball too many times. He'll learn, and will be a handful. Well it's not much use holding the ball up if you don't find a team mate with the pass. I've no doubt he'll get better with more experience of the premier though.

He did work like a trojan at both ends of the pitch though. I don´t know which game you were watching, he won just about everything in the air and held the ballup really well, the times he got dispossed was because he didn´t have the options around him. I was very impressed for his first match completely alone up front against Manu. Cannot complain. At all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thought he was good. Nice having a physical presence up front. I actually thought he was being fouled constantly and it wasn't being given. Going to be frustrating if that continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 if we put accurate crosses into the box he's going to score fucking loads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Most of the time he lost the ball he was fouled, really pissed me off actually as soon as he slightly nudged Smalling he'd win a free kick immediately but if he climbed all over Mitrovic nothing would happen.

toontownman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Desperately needs some relief in terms of support behind him and obviously, as mentioned, some service. Looks very impressive, works exceptionally hard, he looked spent towards the end. Looks like he will absolutely score goals for us given the opportunity.

Tiresias Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thought he was great, hope he gets a goal soon. He was everywhere, working hard, good play with his feet and nearly scored a spectacular header. Every decent cross into the box he was on the end of it too.

Looks very impressive, works exceptionally hard, he looked spent towards the end. Looks like he will absolutely score goals for us given the opportunity. Suspect, for better or worse, this is the furrow he will plough. Love the guy already, but in the way I love my bounding sometimes feckless puppy. Thought he had a good game, not ripping up any trees. Loved seeing him helping out at right back, loved him moaning at our guys who hadn't been on the end of his misplaced pass, loved the strength, f**king loved the header. He's 20, we'll get him fitter than he's ever been. He'll have easier afternoons, and more crosses. Looking forward to seeing him develop: "come here Mitro, come on, Howay son..."

Ikon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looked a little bit quicker than i expected or maybe it's because he shields the ball pretty well when he runs with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
