LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 By the definition of the role he's a shit striker. What's the point in winning balls for others in our team when we're not exactly overstocked with players who can take chances? Give Murphy or Gouffran a game up front. I'd have much more confidence in them taking chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 How'd he do in general play? I think unless he's directly contributing to goals, the general play ship has sailed for him like. That's what I meant like. Was he a factor in us getting back into the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Would def have Murphy as the striker to play instead of Mitro - he's an older head with experience in this division and I'd have imagined he'd have put away at least 2 of Mitro's misses in the last few matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Whats the fucking point in playing him as a lone striker when he's not interested in scoring? Gayle would have been on the end of 2 or 3 of those crosses when Mitro was nowhere. Frustrating isn't the word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Same reason we change the Colback thread title. But has he had any big misses today? I guess it doesn't count as a miss if someone puts the ball right across you in front of an open goal and you don't make any attempt to kick, head or chest it into the net.

That's the thing, regardless of his chronic lack of form and the missed chances, he should he grafting his stones off on the 0itch to try and put it right, but he barely breaks sweat. Ritchie had a right go at him in the 1st half about it after that low ball in. He talks a good game but it just looks like he's sacked if off for me, the big baby.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Useless donkey cunt, he's so thick he can't anticipate any crosses coming into the box. Can't wait for him to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hopefully we can get rid in the summer with most of our outlay recouped. He honestly isn't anywhere near good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Absolutely done with him, there's no way this lad will ever play top level. Forget about his many faults that practise can help; he's slower than a cart horse and finishes like a blind executioner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Plumbed new depths of crapness today. Absolutely embarrassing. He can't run, he can't jump and he definitely can't finish! Hopefully, Rafa will use his other options on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Same problems which got us relegated last season tbh. With him and Perez we are relying on two strikers who don't score enough goals. With Gayle out, it is really starting to cost us points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm sort of over Mitro, and I hate to say it because I love it when he's playing well and going all full mad on the pitch. His misses are costly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It was incredibly frustrating seeing good balls being put in right across their goal and him never being there to get at the end of it, Atsu put in a brilliant ball in the second half and it was a strikers dream but Mitro was far from it.

huss9 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 wasnt so much his missed chances today but the lack of of killer instict. couple of great balls today just needing a tap in from anyone in the six yard box. mitro hanging back - he should be bursting to get on the end of them. think it was ritchie who called him out on one such instance but mitro just answered with a shrug.

Saw this so much last season. Cisse got called worse than shit on here, but he was always looking for the crosses into the box. It's what natural strikers do. Finishing is a different matter, but at least you should have the instinct to find the space in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Did some decent stuff occasionally but in the main he was total shite today and my patience has gone with him.

Wallsendmag Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He's sh*t. Pure and simple. Shearer would have had a hattrick today with some of those balls put into the box but this lad has literally zero strikers instinct to his game. Ritchie looked fed up with him.
