Dr.Spaceman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yeah, I understand, but it was still 11 goals man at what 23? In a team that mostly struggled. Personally, I was surprised no one in the prem went for him after that season. He'd get more goals than Deeney at Watford, Calvert-Lewin at Everton or Callum Wislon at Bournemouth if you slotted him into any of those teams in my opinion. The guy is really talented. Couldn't disagree more. He wasn't winning headers, his positional play was shocking, his finishing was average and he was fairly slow during his time here. I said he'd get more goals. His overall play is another thing entirely, and even then I feel that is underrated at this point. All those strikers I mentioned play in much better teams than the Fulham team he scored 11 for a couple of seasons ago. They have all managed 11 goals or more only once in the last number of seasons. I'd get more goals playing for Crystal Palace if I was their designated penalty taker. What's your point? Mitro is no better than a lot of average strikers in the prem (Glenn Murray, Danny Ings, Neal Maupay) and has been one of the best strikers in the championship over the last two seasons. I really don't get why we you go on about him like we've let a 20 year old Gabriel Batistuta slip through our grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hard to tell how far he’s improved since he left us given he’s spent 18 months in the Championship but he’s scored for fun there and did well for Fulham in the Premier League I felt. If Fulham drop again he’ll have to move on though, should be hitting his prime soon. Of course, if Fulham go down it'll be nowt to do with King Mitro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 If he’s scoring a dozen goals again then I doubt it. Not scoring an open play goal from the end of January until the end of the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 But he managed 10 up until then in an ordinary team, which is some feat From what I recall Fulham really fell off later in the season after starting off okay. Give that man some respect and credit man. My goodness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Do we then blame Les Ferdinand for us not winning the title in 95/6 since he only scored 7 of his 25 goals in the last 19 games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Always pleasing to see him do well. At international level as well! Will always check the scorers for Fulham to see if he's managed to get one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Think he just needs to be in the right team. In a team that doesn't need him to press really aggressively defensively, and which creates chances for him consistently, with a good number of crosses coming in, I think he'd get goals in the prem. When he was with us we sat deep all game and didn't create chances. At Fulham in the prem Parker had the team passing the ball around and wanted someone more mobile upfront, and I think also wanted a striker that pressed more. Could he do a job in Brentford's current setup for example, playing the role Toney does? Edited October 24, 2021 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 To be fair he got 9 for us in our relegation season and new in league as a kid, and 11 for Fulham in first of their relegation seasons - that's not too bad for playing in shit teams. Last season was obviously a failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored well everywhere he has been to be honest. He has always been in a relegation battle in the PL and still got a reasonable haul of goals or in the championship. This season he is rinsing it. I hope he does well in his career and I expect he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Championship: Gayle: 59 in 100 Mistro: 57 in 96 Premiership: Gayle 26 in 139 Mitro 24 in 104 Both Championship players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably argue Mitro can hold the ball up better than Gayle, and Gayle goes more anonymous throughout 90 mins. But stats are hard to ignore, they are very much the same which is great at one level, not good enough at the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
