Incognito 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. But at least he moves which was my point. 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. He clearly doesn't have an eye for a chance but in general play he's tons more mobile than Murphy. Contributes way more also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 What does he contribute exactly? He's generally woeful and barely challenges for the ball half the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrović has had loads of bad games. We're sick of Mitrović getting chance after chance and not performing. Gouffran and Murphy should both be ahead of Mitrović for the striker role when Gayle is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon 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. I thought we were rubbish all over the pitch against QPR. When you can't get the ball into the final third of the pitch it can't all be laid at the striker's door. I've seen games where Gayle has barely got a touch because our football has been so poor. I'd go with Murphy up front against Brighton and just concentrate on keeping a clean sheet. If we get a chance dropping to a striker I'd rather it was Murphy than Mitrovic.

Guest chopey Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Mitrovic is an un-natural goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Have to agree with that Tron And I've been defending Mitro for a while but I just can't do it anymore. It's just not working for him for whatever reasons combined together. I do however think he can be much better than he's shown recently, but we just can't rely on him to deliver. Maybe it could change in the future, whether that's here or not is a different thing (unlikely here) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 As much as I like Mitro, it's starting to get frustrating to see him missing chance after chance, stuff that even last season I think he could have put away. He's short on confidence and he isn't the standard we need right now, if we get up for next season. Rafa clearly doesn't trust him either so the signs just don't look good for him being able to progress his career over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I'm starting to think that a dummy in a wheelchair would be more effective as a centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 at least in the past he was missing chances. now, due to his lack of awareness/effort/instinct, he's never in the right spot so even the half chances are drying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintonsghost Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 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. This. For such a beast he just backs in to defenders and doesnt jump. Had many chances but fails most of the time, the way he drops into the number 10 slot leaving our midfield with nothing to find is criminal. Perez....fuck me , but Mitro is a busted flush..

MSC26 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I like the idea of Mitrovic. A big massive centre forward who loves the club and is a complete nutter. He should have scored his free header on Saturday. Nobody hear him, put it straight over the bar. I don't think he has a strikers instict. Too many balls flashed across goal and he's nowhere near them. Still, he was great v Preston over two games, last season he scored some good goals against Norwich in both games and he finished well against Man City. Plus he scored against Sunderland. We need more goals from a striker though, and I'd expect if we get promoted he would be 3rd choice at best if he was still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect key misses last season and this (which=lost points=negative consequences) mean he has pissed on his own chips/ruined his prospects here.

The College Dropout Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 He's not even good at "big man up top" things. If he could hold it up, win headers, bring others into play he could be something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
