I'd agree if we were in mid table. Unfortunately we don't have the time to persevere with a striker who has managed 3 goals in 17 appearances.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think he will long term become a very good player, seen enough glimpses of quality from him, I just hope he realises his potential with us He should not be leading the line, should have been gradually brought into the team and given plenty of time to adjust. A bit like Jon Dahl Tomasson being thrown into the deep end all those years ago and struggling to cope, should not have happened to him and should not be happening to Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No, but his attitude was diabolical. I think he has the attributes to succeed in English football, but he'll have to apply himself a lot more than he has recently. Yes the service is wank, but just shrugging his shoulders and sulking every time he makes a mistake/ a team-mate doesn't pass to him/ he doesn't get a decision from the ref doesn't do him or us any favours.

BeloEmre Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Bit shit, this kid. I've onlyt seen the highlights but for me it looks like he was involved in a lot today. Looked very good in the build up in a couple of attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 To be Pardewed, he'd need to have had a purple patch and then gotten worse. There has been no purple patch. At the moment he is Jon Dahl Tomasson - loads of potential, but sadly we have no time for potential. He will go somewhere else and be class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but with likes of Mitrovic/Thauvin, they are young lads coming from abroad having to adapt to the league very quickly and a new lifestyle in general. There's no support from the fans if they don't hit the ground running. They're young, they're going to make mistakes, they're going to do certain things wrong or say the wrong things in the media. Our fans would have them shipped off back where they came from if given the chance. Fans moan when players don't come over and acknowledge their 'support' at final whistle and walk straight down tunnel. Yet when they do come over, they just get yelled to fuck off and wanker signs shown at them. When I was down at West Brom, Thauvin was first of a handful who came over and clapped. The abuse he got was a disgrace for the lad, he'd been on the pitch for about 5 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He's brave when going in for challenges he has no chance of winning. Most of his service is crap but he's definitely missed some guilt edged chance over the last few weeks. Nowhere near as bad as some people are making out. Some players need time to adapt, especially younger players who haven't played in a league as competitive and physical as the PL. People are crying out for a striker but for me it's everywhere else that needs addressing first. Got to get a LB who is capable of passing the ball, the entire midfield needs replacing (except perhaps Gini who needs playing in a position he's suited to). People who want, make movement for and are capable of passing the ball in the centre are the biggest thing holding back the performance of the team currently. The lack of goals hurt of course, but if we were making good chances every week consistently, the odd guilt edged chance would be a side note, not the entire story.

George Bailey Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Still think he can be an asset to us, probably in the Chumpionship next season. He has shown more than a lot of the useless cunts we currently have infecting the team and squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think he's a good prospect and probably going on to become a really good striker but he's not there yet. His all round game looks really good, unfortunately he's not giving us what we need most of all - goals. He doesn't look a natural finisher and in this team we can't accommodate a centre forward who doesn't score enough goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 he cant be dropped though. without his hold up play we'll struggle to get the ball. Perez will have to either play wide or be dropped to accommodate a new striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having strolled around the pitch in a strop looking like he doesn't give a shit for 90 minutes, Alexander Mitrovic's attitude was spot on and well played son?? The rest of them at least seemed to be trying yesterday, he stuck out like a sore thumb. We need to see more of the player who came on against Spurs and turned the game around with fire in his belly. If he misses a few chances along the way, that's more than forgivable. I'd hope the "white shola" comment was tongue in cheek mind!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
