Dinho lad Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not sure why we need to compare him with Shearer. He should be compared with last season's Mitro - is any better? I'm afraid it's a nope from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Second time I've seen him live at St James. Absolute garbage. Doesn't anticipate crosses, slow, I don't remember him winning a header ffs. We all know about his finishing too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Happy to hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Can't win a ball in the air, and Jesus, there were some lovely balls in today he was nowhere near. He's just not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He's not even good at the things his defenders say he's good at. More often than not he doesn't win headers and he doesn't hold the ball up well either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've given up on him. Any competant striker would've put these to bed today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I really do want to give him a chance as I do believe he has something in him to become a competent striker but we simply can't accommodate him anymore - his poor finishing has cost us this calendar year. Should definitely leave him on the bench and start Murphy if Gayle's out injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He's a very very rough diamond, will take him years to develop. Be best for him to go somewhere like Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Just can't afford to start him any longer. Don't care how old he is or how much he cost or how many goals he's scored in Belgium, his misses are costing us points on a regular basis. He gets a chance and he either blows it because he can't be trusted to control himself or simply can't convert fairly easy chances. He's had his chance, I'd start Murphy. Mitrovic as third choice and named on the bench, only subbed on as a battering ram if we're chasing it. No time for sentiment, he's not been up to it.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Did he miss chances today? There's only one header on the highlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Did he miss chances today? There's only one header on the highlights. His main failing yesterday was not getting in the box to attempt to convert presentable chances from crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Having seen all of the folks wanting Murphy in , I thought back to his previous start where he could have been marked out of the game by a statue. Mitrovic misses too many chances but he never gives the opposing central defenders an easy week. I'd start him over Murphy every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've seen a hell of a lot of defenders have an easy time with Mitro. Most of them are bigger, stronger, quicker and smarter, for a start. Let's not pretend he's some colossus that can't be stopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 i don't see as much football as most but the best i've seen us play in the period gayle has been out was vs. QPR when he switched gouffran off the wing to CF and put ritchie left, the whole thing just worked it's what i'd play next match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We shouldn't be discounting Murphy based on that one very bad QPR game he had. I thought he did well the previous games to that one especially vs Rotherham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just play the Gouf instead and Atsu on the left. Job done. It really isn't that difficult problem to solve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's getting embarrassing now for this lad like. Should be making mincemeat of the Championship yet he's looking a clogger even at this level. Sell in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Did he miss chances today? There's only one header on the highlights. There were at least three stunning crosses across the six yard box which he was nowhere to be seen. Thought him and Perez were absolutely shite yesterday.

merlin Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 A modern top class striker needs one particular attribute in addition to instinct and that is pace - Mitrovic lacks both and although his heart seems to be in the right place the club cannot carry him any more. Even in our 50s team, our main striker had pace in abundance as well as skill and Jackie's initials - J.E.T. - were very appropriate. Supermac had terrific pace and many of his goals came from being able to outpace opposition defenders. Shearer also had pace until he got injured at Everton and that took a yard off him ; he was able to still continue being an excellent CF because he became more of a target man but his instinct for chances meant he went on to score goals for us for another 9 years. Before him we had Andy Cole... Mitro is never going to be in that category(David Kelly scored 27 goals in 92/93 but was still sold before we played PL football) and although we cannot do without him until the end of the season(many thanks Mr Ashley)I cannot see him being in the side next season...whichever div we are in.

I'm not saying he's Gary Lineker like. Moves where exactly? Certainly not into the box when crosses come in. At least Murphy has the excuse of being in his 30's, whereas the fitness and application for a bloke of Mitrovic's age are nothing short of a disgrace.

I bet the passionate cunt is too scared to get on the end of chances now in case he misses. I don't think that fear is justified.... it's was only one game, ffs. Come on Mitro.... do something stupid funny and everything will be forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
