Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We wouldn’t be in this mess, if this lad was playing. Well it worked for us 2 seasons ago... I love how this is constantly peddled out to discredit certain players (Mitro, Elliot), when it completely ignores that 2 years ago we had Steve fucking McClaren as manager and the likes of Taylor in defence and a midfield pairing of Colback and Anita. If you want to hold individual players to account for the relegation, you should probably look at them first. Anyway, it’s still beyond staggering that Joselu continues to play ahead of Mitro and we’re going to lose out on a talented youngster who could easily improve. Joselu - 3 goals and 1 assist in 1370 minutes (15.2 full games) Mitro - 2 goals and 0 assists in 179 minutes (1.9 full games) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Graham Courtney was on Talkshite this morning and said that the situation regarding Mitro is completely untenable. Rafa considers him a bad influence and a liability and wants him out of the club ASAP. Courtney said he wouldn’t be surprised if the club just tear up his contract to get him out of the club. Obviously we know that last bit won’t happen but as long as Rafa is here, Mitro will be nothing more than a last hurrah if we’re losing with 10 minutes to go. The sooner people get their heads around that the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So people are happy to say how 'we wouldn't be in this situation if we were playing Mitro', yet when there is evidence to show the completely opposite. Suppose we cannot blame strikers for missing numerous very easy chances that cost us any more, if they are called Mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So people are happy to say how 'we wouldn't be in this situation if we were playing Mitro', yet when there is evidence to show the completely opposite...they throw a bit of a strop. I’m not saying we wouldnt be in this situation with Mitro, I’m saying we’d be better off with him in the side than without him though. No idea what evidence has been produced against that statement mind. If Joselu continues his scoring in the second half of the season, he’ll end up with worse goalscoring stats than Mitro in that season 2 years ago. Mitro is also a better player than he was 2 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 God I miss this guy going radge and putting defenders on their toes. Joselu does nothing though he does have better close control but defenders can play at ease without any fear when he's playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Joselu has been playing quite well lately I think. He seems to win nearly everything fired towards him which is as much I as would ask from Mitrovic. He just needs to improve his decision making around the box and I think he'll be a solid back up striker to whoever we buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner people get their heads around that the better. Courtney was slagging Joselu off yesterday as well at half time, I was honestly surprised when I watched the extended highlights on Sky to see he actually did some really good link up work, and lead the line pretty well apart from offering no goal threat at all....which I think we have to accept as a given. If he scored goals he wouldn't cost £5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to improve his decision making around the box and I think he'll be a solid back up striker to whoever we buy. I thought he was poor yesterday, he was out muscled a good number of times by Bruno when you’d reasonably expect your target man to be able to handle a full back. The way we set up doesn’t help him but his lack of threat makes him too easy to play against. If he’s still a regular come February we’re well and truly up against it. He needs dropping but it’ll not happen. I’ve said he’s functional in the past; I’ll say barely functional now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Rafa'sopinion on £5mill strikers, that is very questionable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Cutting your nose to spite your own face that like, mind you it's not as if Mitro has pulled up any trees, probably used more we might have had few more points. Then again with his brain maybe a few less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Rafa'sopinion on £5mill strikers, that is very questionable. Well if he considers him a liability and a bad influence, why wouldn't he buy Joselu for £5m? It's not like he could go out and spend £30m on a striker he actually rated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We might still be in a similar sitution even if he had been playing, but for me he is a much better player than Joselu even if he is completely mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa's not the type to cut his nose off to spite his face as some are suggesting, I can only assume that Mitro is rocking the boat and that's why he's being kept away from the core squad.

He was a gobshite then, and his views are pretty much stuck in a time warp like the brigade he used to share comments with, like John Anderson and Bob Concur. He's worse actually because he thinks he's a real fountain of football knowledge when he's actually clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
