astraguy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Still see him far better suited in the Prem with gayle no data to back that up just a feeling after watching him before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 So when will he score his next goal for us? I'll be surprised if Rafa thinks it was worth spending £13m on a striker who might develop into a premier striker despite showing few finishing skills whatsoever in two seasons here. I'll be surprised if Rafa gives a single fuck about the price we paid for him. He might if it increases his kitty for bringing in the players he wants, it's just common sense. That said, maybe he rates Mitro more than I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's frustrating because I think outside the penalty area he's dpoes alright holding the ball up and bringing others into play to build an attack yet I think he rarely gets into great positions in the box to score. I think he'll still be here next season though Not sure I'll ever understand some people reveling in him not doing well mind I don't revel in him not doing well, but to his detractors the support he gets by quite a few people is well over the top for he actually delivers and also for his price tag. His hold up has been better since he came back in for the last month than it was previously, but he has little goal scoring threat and that is what I judge strikers on. The argument about him not being in his peak is a bit flawed for me, there's plenty of example of strikers who actual peak when young and actually tail off as their careers go on and for someone his age, he actually has played quite a fair number of games so he's not that inexperienced. He's started a few games this 2nd half of the season and still only has 1 goal in 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 why is anyone's price tag relevant when they already play for us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Him and Rafa seem to have a canny bond like, I do wonder even though he doesn't seem like he would ever succeed in a Rafa side that he would keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, maybe he rates Mitro more than I think. How is the fact that he cost £13m two years ago relevant to Rafa's transfer kitty? Can we just fly him back to Belgium and ask for a refund?

ChrisMcQuillan Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just compiled some stats now the season's over. This is for league fixtures only. http://i.imgur.com/7yignsn.png With Mitrovic starting, we tend to score considerably more goals but also concede more than when he doesn't play at all. We score fewer and concede more when he comes on as a sub (not really surprising given you'd mainly only bring him on if trailing, and looking for a goal).

thomas Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I am having a boring evening as well. Your Mitro sub row looks way off. Quick rundown from nufc.com's match reports shows nowhere near 25 sub appearances. Brought on when trailing ======================== Wolves - down 0-2, lost 0-2, didn't score Norwich - 2-3 became 4-3. didn't score @Nottingham Forest - down 1-2, lost 1-2 already down to 9(!!) men, didn't score Sheffield Wednesday - down 0-1, lost 0-1, didn't score @Sheffield Wednesday - down 2-0, lost 2-1, didn't score @Ipswich Town - down 2-1, lost 3-1, didn't score. Brought on when winning ======================== @Villa - ended up drawing, didn't score @Rotherham - maintained lead, didn't score Ipswich Town - already up 3-0, didn't score @Leeds - already up up 2-0, didn't score Birmingham City - already up 4-0, didn't score Nottingham Forest - already up 3-1, didn't score @Cardiff City - already up 0-2, didn't score Brought on when drawing ======================== Aston Villa - Gayle off in 33', 0-0, wound up winning 2-0. Didn't score Not exactly "impact sub" material tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitro appears + Mitro doesn't appear adds up to the entire season, so the season's stats are right. And no Mitro is correct. Mitro comes on should simply be Mitro featured, and it's correct.
