The Championship is not the greatest test of a player, the fact he has scored 40 goals alone, proves that. He’s tearing it up, but in the PL he’s looked like just another ordinary CF, no different to Wood for example…

He’s scored 11 goals in 15 apps this season, if that’s ordinary then I wish wood was ordinary this season.

It’s a shame a has real streak of cowardice/petulance that it seems he’ll never lose as he a lot of very good attributes. And he also appears to have said nice things about us.

Found it hard to dislike him but never really warmed to him because of the above. He’s definitely started controlling it better as he’s gotten older, to be fair to him.

I think in terms of being a red card risk, he’s much, much better now.

 

However, he’ll still go on like he did against Villa earlier this season when he got Luiz(?) sent off in Gerrard’s last game. That in particular is difficult to champion.

 

It’s a funny one really cos I’m all for Wilson being a massive shithouse, constantly winding defenders up, I suppose partly in an effort to get them sent off, but he seems to be able to do it in a way that makes you laugh rather than wince.

A massive plus though is that he’s been available for 15 out of 18 games this season for Fulham and all of last season for them - that’s what we also need, availability and the confidence they’ll score given a few chances.  
 

for me - as a squad striker I’d upgrade wood for him all day.

Really going out on a limb there mind :lol:

Mitro for Wood.

Fair point, I know it’s a non brainer but for now I quite like the thought of isak, Wilson, mitro, ASM & miggy fighting for the front line spots.

 

i think that one change (and working ASM back in for appropriate games) would get quite a few more points on the board.

Don’t think he’d accept being a third choice tbh. Looks he needs to be the main man. Didn’t seem to be best pleased when this wasn’t the case under Rafa (although tbf I don’t think he really kicked off, just wanted to move).

I just mean - nobody is first choice, wood is third choice for us because that’s just correct but not necessarily for mitro.

 

And let’s stop comparing him to what he was like so men years ago, people grow up and personalities change.

Mitro would be no good for Eddie. One of the problems between him and Rafa was that he didn't want to do tracking back. If I remember right he said my strength is up front scoring goals no defending

 

Works his ass off for Fulham every time I watch them.

I would love to see that happen, honestly. If we could rotate with Wilson/Isak/Mitro it would be immense.

Agreed - what Man U have is rashford & martial where if one fails to get the winner then the other seems to step up. I feel we don’t have that and this forum has listed a lot of supposedly weaknesses for mitro in the fact that he don’t track back, he has an attitude problem but there’s two major positives he’s brought to Fulham this season. He puts the ball in the net and he’s always available.

Looking at FBRef he seemingly does more grafting then given credit for:

Thanks for that - good to see and never doubted it as I really rate him. People on here just don’t seem to like because of what he was like back in 2018 for us.

I never liked Mitro tbh, the play acting really rubbed me up the wrong way and he was dirty as well. Always thought he was overrated during his time here.

 

Nice words though and I'd obviously snap your hand off for a situation in which he replaced Wood, as unlikely as that is.

Passes attempted 51th percentile, passes completed 1st. Can't even pass :lol:

Mitro would be great but even the best sides in the world can't have 3 senior players vying for 1 spot. Normally you have 2 senior and one older/younger player who accepts their role in the squad.

 

When Wood goes I expect us to sign someone young and probably south American, to develop.
