Aleksandar Mitrović

[xLiaaamx]

Still think that Wolves thing was BS. He was going for a loose ball and caught the keeper, but it wasn't high. Ref made the right choice and he scored. The knives were sharpened and people cried red card when it blatantly wasn't a red card challenge.

[Guest neesy111]

It's amazing how shit players get better when others are doing shit.  This guy is almost 2.5 years at bring at us and people are still using the same excuses for him.

 

All of our strikers are shit in thier own way but mitrovic only ever plays for himself, at least joselu plays the team game.

[Guest ElCid]

I don't rate him, but he can't be any worse than Joselu who for me is up there as one of the worst CFs I've seen for us.

 

He is mind and there were some poor strikers in the 80s I seen and that's saying something.

That's a load of shite like, Mitrovic's best quality is his link up play and how he brings others into the game. It's debatable that he'd be better if he was more of a 'plays for himself' striker, like Gayle Mitrovic isn't ruthless enough, he cannot play on the toes of the defenders like Gayle can, that's his problem.

 

Joselu might run around like a headless chicken more than him like, I bet the team love him for it.

 

EDIT: I mean 'he plays for himself' is a bit of a misnomer anyway. The vast majority of players will want personal glory, it's not just the obvious unashamed ones like Ronaldo and Neymar. If Joselu doesn't want to be the star man then, as the main striker, that's actually a canny big problem

 

You want your number 9 to be unforgiving and greedy (within reason obviously), to be picking the ball up and walking to the penalty spot. You want him to be shouting at his midfielders for not spotting his runs etc.

Talking about "team game", how can you defend Joselu for taking weak as piss off target shot instead of giving back Gayle for a easy finish last night?

Nobody is saying Mitrovic has "got better", or that he's the long-term answer, but it's blatantly obvious that he'd offer more than Joselu and Gayle at the moment -  or at least something different - and shouldn't be sat on the bench for the entire 90 when we need a goal.

11 starts last season. 4 goals, 6 assists. Selfish cunt.

[Guest neesy111]

Blatantly obvious.   If it was blatantly obvious he'd be in the team, the manager isn't stupid.

 

Also, Rafa only had 1 tactical sub yesterday as we got 2 injuries, I do agree he should had brought on someone different than Perez though.

In a much inferior league.  Scored 1 goal in 7 months, but he's a fantastic striker because he's a mad bastard.

[joeyt]

No one has said he's a fantastic striker

[healthyaddiction]

Mitro - 2 goals in 120 minutes (League & Cup)

Joselu - 2 goals in 720 minutes

Gayle - 0 goals in 301 minutes

 

And counting...

 

Edit - just looked and he has 3 red cards in his entire career ffs A ‘walking red card’ according to some. Not seen red since May 2016.

4 in his time with us (I'm counting the suspension this season obviously). Which is a red card every 15 matches or so.

 

3 if you're counting the suspension. Two reds in the first season, and 0 in the second season.

You're right. The site I used to look up the suspensions listed one of his suspensions twice. Still, he's had a lot more than 3 in his career and is still averaging a red card every 20 matches or so. That'd work out nearly 2 a season, which is clearly bad.

[Optimistic Nut]

Rubbish that.

 

He's no worse than the other two, had a good pre-season and scored a couple before the suspension and is the one who has scope to improve.

Sure I heard in commentary that Lejeune has 8 career reds.

He's no better either.  All of them are not good enough imo, though I do think the midfield is getting off lightly in terms of the chances they aren't providing for our forward players as well.

He's got a better scoring record than Joselu I'm pretty sure, plus he has a load more self belief IMO. Like I said in the other thread, I don't even expect him to start every game, but he should be used when the other strikers are patently failing.

He should be ahead of Perez in terms of being brought on, I'd have Perez in the reserves tbh absolutely sick of his non-performances.

 

But I think anyone he starts for us upfront will be a massive struggle for them because of the way we are set-up and the lack of a decent number 10.

Wasn’t he also injured and barely playing for those 7 months?

 

Not like Neesy to talk shit mind.

 

Neither of our other strikers look like scoring, he’s got a much better record than them this season despite barely getting on the field. No idea how anyone can even try and dispute that he should be on the pitch.

And in the much superior league he has 5 in 11 Premier League apps since Rafa took charge. 5 of those 11 apps he was on the pitch less than 20 minutes as a substitute.

That’s one ‘every 20 matches or so’. Sell him to the slaughter house!

 

Also not sure what HA is talking about, but he’s had 3 career reds. No more than that.

How is that statement funny? It is blatantly obvious that he should be getting a chance. He's third choice striker and the other two aren't scoring goals. Rafa is an intelligent manager but that doesn't make him immune to making wrong decisions.

A few games ago aye, but if Gayle is fit then why should Mitrovic be starting ahead of him?

Personally I think the two main strikers should be Gayle and Mitro because they are far more likely to look for goal than either Joselu or Perez.
