DJ_NUFC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 On the Periscope feed from the away stand, there was a patch of sustained chanting of his name. Can someone tell me why our fans are so desperate to see him play? Have we done this for any other players since HBA, who actually deserved chanting to be put onto the field?

relámpago blanco Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's clear he won't drop Gayle now unless he is injured and he will only play one up front. Mitro will only get a start now if Gayle isn't match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me why our fans are so desperate to see him play? Have we done this for any other players since HBA, who actually deserved chanting to be put onto the field? A section of our fans enjoy direct football where you fire the ball towards a big lad, and with Mitro being such an aggressive player it gets them pumped up just like him. It's exciting if sometimes not very effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 spoke volumes that he wasn't used at all last night imo. Can't see much of a future at rafa's nufc for him unless something dramatically changes. Have you been reading the Chronicle? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitezs-decision-leave-aleksandar-12046018 IMO, he wasn't used because he wasn't needed. If it was still 0-0 at 65/70 minutes then we'd have seen him. But we were controlling the game and didn't need to change anything which is why the subs came on late. He'll have a part to play this season, but he cant drop Gayle when he is scoring so many goals. Aye, he was brought on against Norwich becuase we needed to break them down and against Rotherham becuase they'd won about 40 corners. Probably the same thinking against Villa too as they were killing us in the air for the last 20 minutes. He gives us an outlet to hit when under pressure as well. 2-0 up against Barnsley he's probably thinking the pace of Atsu, Diame and Gayle can get in behind.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 He's not mobile enough for Rafa's one up front style of play nor opportunistic enough in front of goal so he's never going to figure much. I also really do believe Rafa see's him as some kind of liability in terms of on-field discipline which further compounds things. He probably loves his work ethic and spirit, however. To me Mitrovic just isn't very good. He's not piss poor, but equally he's not exactly good in any department despite some decent cameo moments at times. A could seem him leaving on on loan in January if we are in a great position at the top and or being sold before next season if a decent offer comes in.

Aye, absolutely nothing to do with direct football like In any case TRon with Shelvey, Gayle and Atsu/Ritchie we're naturally going to be fairly direct anyway, direct doesn't exactly mean we're randomly punting it up the pitch. Everything goes through our midfield nowadays. We pretty much never had one a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 He'll get the cups, otherwise he'll basically be our Ulloa you'd imagine. Next season might be a different story though, our place in the Premiership is obviously a lot different that here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me why our fans are so desperate to see him play? Have we done this for any other players since HBA, who actually deserved chanting to be put onto the field? Wasn't really sustained chanting for him. He was warming up regularly on the sidelines and he was appreciating the support from the crowd for the team. Obviously his celebrations with Gayle's goals got him a good reception as well as he was only sub to join in really. His passion for the club on and off the pitch definitely serves him well with the fans as well as arriving with a big reputation for being a top prospect. As well as getting a lot of love from fans, you've still got a large section that don't like him at all, it's quite split i reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was engaging with the crowd and warming up and joining in the celebrations, it makes sense the crowd would reciprocate.

Fair questions, but Mitro hasn't done enough in front of goal to justify the hefty price tag or compare his record to Gayle's (so far). We all know he has bags of potential, is young, new to (now two) foreign leagues, etc. And we know he brings a different aspect to our game. All his positive and negative attributes have been discussed to death here. If he were to leave, it won't be a great loss. I hope he stays and carves a place out for himself, but that's all upto Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 spoke volumes that he wasn't used at all last night imo. Can't see much of a future at rafa's nufc for him unless something dramatically changes. Have you been reading the Chronicle? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitezs-decision-leave-aleksandar-12046018 IMO, he wasn't used because he wasn't needed. If it was still 0-0 at 65/70 minutes then we'd have seen him. But we were controlling the game and didn't need to change anything which is why the subs came on late. He'll have a part to play this season, but he cant drop Gayle when he is scoring so many goals. I didn't say drop gayle, it's obvious he can't at the minute, but the game was won and he'd warmed up for the majority of the second half. Why not stick him on if he likes him? Hard to see where his game time will come from imo. Don't think rafa feels he can trust him and that can only change with game time. Game time he isn't getting.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Do players not decide themselves when to warm up a majority of the time? I presumed that they have to be ready to go on to the pitch at any given time, so they go out when they feel they need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
