Guest neesy111 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'm not a fan of his, but we need to try something different so went with Mitro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't think anyone is saying people who shout for Mitrovic are blindly affectionate now though? 2 months ago maybe but even UncleBingo (who coined the term 'Shitrovic') is saying he would be playing him now. In the past couple of weeks I've seen people (you included) arguing that Gayle is s**** though whilst trying to justify Mitrovic's goal record. I'm not saying either is better than the other, it's hard to judge given how clearly unfit Gayle was at the start of the season and how little Mitrovic has played recently. I would start Gayle purely because there's a raft of evidence that he's the sharpest goalscorer we have and when teams are playing utter s**** they're usually your best bet for a goal (see Sunderland and Defoe). And I'll happily accept I was wrong about saying Gayle is shit. I was speaking out of frustration after a match. He's not shit, he's just not clearly better than Mitrovic to justify Gayle starting and Mitrovic not. Fair enough, I've maybe missed some of your posts like.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Went with Gayle, purely because he's a more natural finisher whose non-Premier League form was still with us and not another completely different team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Aye and Shearer scored 58 penalties out of 260. Does that make his premier league record invalid? Don't think it's really fair to frame things like that. You can count the penalties if you want, I personally wouldn't when rating how good a striker is. Leighton Baines is great at penalties but I wouldn't fancy playing him up front. By the way, of course Mitro should be ahead of Joselu in the pecking order and challenging Gayle for that spot until we get someone better, in case people are picking me up wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 At first glance it looks like the poll only has two options Rafa disagrees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I love Rafa but I don't think he has given Mitro a fair crack. Most of us agree Mitro is not suited to the lone striker role in our 4231 formation, but he never really got a chance in our 442 experiment. Now that experiment has failed we will no doubt revert to 4231 and Mitro will continue to struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I fully expect Perez & Gayle tonight mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'd be very happy to see Perez back in the squad. I think Mitrovic is the best partner for him mind, Gayle/Perez doesn't really give you many options in terms of going more direct. Perez/Mitrovic strikes a better balance.

TRon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I fully expect Perez & Gayle tonight mind. Same here, and I don't mind. The main consideration tonight should be making sure we keep a clean sheet, then if we can get a goal somewhere, great. A horrible 1-0 win would be fantastic.

Leatherman Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 He should be playing, with Gayle. Mitro isnt great but hes the best weve got. Is there any reason why the title is in Russian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Apart from saturday. Whats your point ? I have. We played it for three games and were cut open time and time again. 442 with Diame and Shelvey will always be destroyed. Hayden with Shelvey were doing okay against manu, before their quality showed. My desire to see 442 was to see of we could get the best out of Mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I say he has to start at least 3 games, we can't keep fucking Joselu on when he dosn't seem bothered at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
