Started once this season and scores, plays 25 minutes doesn't score and hes getting grief already.

 

Perez has been far worse over more appearances and everyone falls over themselves to make excuses for him, definite favourites on here.

 

His chances he missed last season f***ed us, he's also already missed 2 excellent chances in 2 games this season. He deserves the criticism.

 

His goals at the back end of the season almost saved us as well. He's missed 2 decent chances which are by no means nailed on for any striker to score, but because he could have done better he's judged on 2 'excellent chances' he's missed, rather than the positives he brings to the team and the fact that he's scored and has a fantastic goals-minutes ratio off his last 10 competitive games.

 

It's quite easy to suss out the people who have an agenda against him.

 

Yes. We have an 'agenda' because we've pointed out how this guy consistently misses the chances presented to him. His misses last season were one of the (small) reasons we went down, had we instead bought a proven Premiership striker and paid the going rate for one. We were desperate for someone to hit the ground running, instead we put our money and time into a kid from a foreign league and put the world on his shoulders.

 

In fact, every person who's criticized Mitro on here has said the same thing: right player, wrong time, wrong move for him. But sure, delude yourself into simplifying the world around you. Whoever doesn't agree with you has an 'agenda,' marra.

He may become a better all round centre forward with age but he's never going to be a finisher because he just doesn't have that instinct in front of goal. That's not something you can really coach either. Andy Cole was arguably the best finisher we've ever seen here and when he went to Man Utd he improved as a football but to the detriment of his finishing ability when he was required to remodel his game. I don't think you can work it the other way around. Then there's the problem with his chronic lack of pace and very dodgy disciplinary record and I just don't think he'll have enough about him to do what we need him to do. Really hope he does because I love how proud he is to play for NUFC, you can see it in his face but I don't think he's got enough attributes to his game to make it here.

 

If the rumours about Benitez trying to move him on in the summer are true it's obviously something the manager feels as well.

 

To my understanding, "instincts for goals" means being on the end of chances, not necessarily finishing skills.

 

Rubbish about Cole.

 

To my mind instinct for goals means actually putting them away when you get on the end of chances. Unless you are putting away a fair few of the chances that you get, you aren't likely to score that many. Managers aren't daft, that's why they tend to look down on those with a poor conversion rate, because the higher the level you play at, the fewer the chances come along.

The fact he actually gets in goal scoring positions and allows the team to move up the pitch gives us something we sorely need, whether he finishes them or not is another matter. The issue with not playing Mitro is that the people in his place don't even get the same kind of chances to begin with and we can go for ages without constructing any kind of chance as we just don't seem to have the nous to move the ball up the patch in a considered manner with over/underlapping etc.

 

Our squad just seems to need a target man to function and Mitro from what I've seen him is more than good enough to do this. I don't think he's ever going to be a 20+ goals per season striker, he's the guy that lets the others get the goals just by being there and being a menace. Probably more a 1 in 4 support striker tbh.

But even target men who don't score a load of goals are usually good finishers when they get the chance, they aren't wasteful. I'm not writing Mitro off by any means, but if we do go with a target man he'll have to compete with Murphy and show he's the better option all round.

Big game for him tonight I think.

Thought he still looked very big despite the talk of him getting leaner. Looked very slow too. Suppose he hasn't played much football tbf

 

He needs more time on the pitch to be confident, he's not really had it. The murphy choice upfront was a bit odd in the cup. Probably why Mitrovic is trying to play back heels & show off in the time he does have etc. Still annoying as fuck man. He had ritchie bursting on his right hand side. I can deal with players missing chances, dont concede due to a basic sideways pass.

shit

 

People have way too much time for him because of things he's said and he's a bit mental.  If he never said all the stuff about dreaming of nufc and idolising Shearer etc people would be raging a lot more about how shite he's actually been
