Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Current ability in this league I don't think there's much in it between the three, but Mitro's potential is greater which is what should shade it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Not a fan of Mitrovic I must say, but the thought of another Joselu led attack is depressing. Give this lump a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Current ability in this league I don't think there's much in it between the three, but Mitro's potential is greater which is what should shade it for me. For me, Gayle is out of the question due to his playing style and lack of physicality. So between Mitrovic and Joselu I'd say both have flaws, but Mitrovic is a better finisher without doubt, he can hold up the ball equally as well and is more confident. Therefore Mitrovic comfortably plays over Joselu for me. And I think if Mitrovic could follow instruction from the manager, Joselu wouldn't get a look in on current form. Oh, and Mitrovic has proved himself in the Premier League in his first season playing for a dreadful manager with a dreadful team. He scored 9. Joselu looks unlikely to reach 9 at present.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I think if fit and mentally ready Gayle is comfortably the best choice like, I don't think his playing style is an issue. When he's come on this season when we're ahead he's been tasked with defending and has done fine from that point imo, so whatever Josolu is meant to be doing I think Gayle can do just as well.

Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 From what I've seen, Gayle has been anonymous when coming on and doesn't look mentally or physically up for this league and more specifically a Rafa Benitez team in this league. He has literally zero, none of the required attributes to play as Rafa's centre forward in this 4-2-3-1. Love Gayle for his goals in getting us back in this league, but I reckon that's his level unfortunately. Joselu and Mitrovic considerably more effective, and given the formers poor form and general play, that's saying quite a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Gayle has 15 in this league, Mitrovic 10. I'd imagine the famous "goals per minute" ratio is pretty similar. Mitrovic's probably seems worse because we've seen some rancid misses and times where he should be in a better position to score, but this is something that should with games and age. He looked good in pre-season and got two good goals before the suspension. There's nothing to lose. If Joselu and Gayle were clearly better and in form then fair enough but they aren't.

Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Gayle: 72 PL apps / 15 goals / 1 assist Mitrovic: 36 PL apps / 10 goals / 4 assists Mitro all day long for me. Better/at least as good at scoring goals in this league and a much bigger presence on the pitch. Gayle is a mouse in this league unfortunately - Joselu too. Mitrovic, at least you know he is on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Perez seems to play better when he's just off Mitrovic as well. His goals and assists record when Mitro started was better than the other 30 odd games when he didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right and he's just not cut out for it but there's seemed to be issues which appeared last season. He hasn't looked fit and is picking up constant niggling injuries. There was reports he was scared to run at full pelt etc. I hope that was true and he's salvageable, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Gayle has done nothing since January 2017, really hope he can get over his problems and as he could certainly still be a useful player at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Its clearly nothing personal with him and Rafa or he'd be isolated with Colback. He mustnt be doing the business in training but he should still be coming on in games like this. If Rafa isnt going to use him then drop him completely and call Armstrong back or one of the youth players because we need options for up front on the bench.
