Guest ElCid Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 He could've easily been sent off and ruined the whole game for us, that being said i'm happy he scored what proved to be the winning goal, hopefully will help him get his confidence up. Not convinced getting subbed at half time is going to get his confidence up. Reckon he's done here personally. Had no choice but t take him off as his next foul was a red for sure can't believe their are some thinking different to be honest - to be fair his first booking was a complete joke and he should have had a free kick in the first couple of minutes. Need Gayle for away matches as he has the pace for the counter attack though ~I would still like to see him play both at times especially at home. For what it's worth I thought Diame was shocking today and didn't seem interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Forget the hysteria in the studio by the pundits whose agenda was to get Mitro sent off. Can anyone explain to me why he got his yellow card because all I saw was a strong target man standing his ground like Shearer would have done.

huss9 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 the first yellow was deserved. he had escaped a yellow miniutes earlier for s ridiculous forearm challenge. then made no attempt to go for the ball in the next challenge. you could clearly see him eyeing up the defender and having no interest in the ball whatsoever. he was just being a cock. you'd think he'd have been desperate to impress having been given another start.

Not convinced getting subbed at half time is going to get his confidence up. Reckon he's done here personally. last game, last touch..a goal? Not a chance that was the last time we see him I'm sure we'll see his face again, but before today I didn't think it was a given that his days here were numbered. But I'm not sure there can be more blatant vote of no-confidence from a manager than subbing a player who is struggling for goals, at half time, minutes after he's scored. Was that not just because he was on a card and looking like getting another? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Of course it was the reason, man. But the fact fear that our starting striker wouldn't be able to keep his head for 45 minutes against one of the poorest sides in the division outweighed his value on the pitch having just scored for the first time in ages tells you everything you need to know about the manager's faith in him.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just looked it up because I was interested, he's played more than 45 minutes 7 times this season. Not really interested in arguing whether he's good or not, but it's pretty damn hard to look good with such little time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I think it was ride or die. He had just scored, yes he looked like he was close to getting sent off, but it was HT, he had just scored, Rafa had the opportunity to talk to him, get his head right. Instead, hauled off. Not saying what is right or wrong, but I'm just saying, I think that's him done at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa did say he had done well up to that point, but at the end of the day, would anyone really want to risk leaving him on the pitch for another 45 mins at the risk of getting sent off? He's got zero self control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I would've been fine with him staying on the pitch for another 10-15 mins, evaluating whether him scoring a goal had positively impacted his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I thought it was a huge act of faith by Rafa that Mitrovic was still on the pitch in the 44th minute when he scored the goal. He had to go at half time. Rightly or wrongly all three (maybe four) officials were on his case and, in their eyes, he had no lives left. If we went down to ten players it is highly unlikely to have ended up well for us. Correct call by Rafa and imo not the end of Mitro - this season...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 There'll have been an element on here (Uncle Bingo, etc) that I've no doubt would have preferred a 0-0 draw with Mitro semt-off after 30 minutes last night to what actually happened.
