Tooj Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I said it in the match thread but he looked a bit leaner out there which meant he was a little bit more mobile. Obviously he's never going to be quick but a little bit more agility being added to his game can only be a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 We've scored 17 goals in his last 3 'proper' starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Didn't see the full match but he scored two good goals, the second in particular was expertly taken from start to finish. Think I'd probably get booked for celebrating it too. Penalty thing was fuck all, he's a striker and wants to score goals. Ritchie didn't agree, which is fair enough. My only comment is that Rafa should probably set out the pen-taking duties and we'd avoid that sort of thing in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Ritchie went straight over to him after he scored the penalty, and again when Mitro made it 4. Nothing to worry about there but I agree there should be a set penalty taker, Ritchie probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Ritchie bust a gut to get Mitro his 3rd before Ritchie was subbed. At least that's how I saw it. They'll be absolutely laughing their tits off together. Before Mitro accidently snaps his neck like a twig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Very important that he did so well. He grafted like there's no tomorrow and he was concentrated and clever on the ball. Rafa will be delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just read through all recent comments and basically, without being too egocentric, you're all just saying same as me: "heed th' baal but love him" (ish). Let's just enjoy it lads: "Mitro's on fire, your defence is terrified..." [repeat until your SMILE hurts]. 'Wees like him?

TRon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 That second goal was the first time I've seen him show real composure in front of goal with the ball at his feet. Highly encouraging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Really happy for him. Has had to bide his time, and I think ultimately it will only do him good. He's clearly chomping at the bit to get goals and prove himself and that is never a bad thing. Think Rafa has handled the whole thing brilliantly with the mix of Gayle, Diame, Perez and Mitrovic. They are all fit, hungry, and now firing in goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he's never going to be quick but a little bit more agility being added to his game can only be a good thing. Definitely, noticed that too. Rafa seems to have whipped him and Shelvey in particular into shape which is great to see. I really hope he starts on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 On a night like tonight, having played so little football, only one sensible thing to a add: "Ye knaa, knaa, knaa, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah-nah. Nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah...Mitro's on fire..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just seen the highlights. Looks so much more mobile! Random. His second is a lovely lovely goal. Nice to see he has that kind of composure in his locker. Great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 "On the pitch spat"? He's a striker who wants to score goals so of course he wants to take the penalty - he's in a rich vein of goalscoring form in all his recent starts for club and country so he's confident and whether he challenges Ritchie or not is of little or no consequence at all. I've said before certain people just have it in for him and posts like that just prove it. "Ship him out and replace him with someone useful"... he's scored 3 goals in 3 starts this season (5 in his last 8 iirc) and has also started as the lone striker in both of our 6-0 wins this season! Honestly man, get a f***ing grip - he was fantastic all round today and very unlucky not to get his hat-trick. Also can't believe he's getting stick for celebrating and going mad when the team scores, sorry Balotelli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Definitely in a lot better shape and looks a yard sharper for it. Had a decent burst of pace a couple of times tonight. Also seemed to have a lot more composure on the ball for the most part, thought he was excellent tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm not sure why but i've been desperate for him to succeed for whatever reason. Always had belief in him and that he will come good. Hopefully he can do it. Just Love the crazy bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 2 starts, 3 goals and as a team 12 goals. Some people still think he isn't good enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 That was the definition of a dominating striker's performance, toyed with their defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
