AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's got immense potential. Also when the quality and precision of our forward passing improves, he should benefit loads. He knocked that one down lovely for Wijnaldum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cisse up top last night and we lose 3-0 simple as Ridiculous statement to make. Certainly if he'd played instead of Perez we wouldn't have lost 3-0 because Perez was awful yet again. Don't know what's wrong with him at the moment, he looks totally out of sorts. Thought Mitrovic had a good game but I'm sick of hearing people say he's only 21 so he'll get better. He might, hopefully he will but it's far from certain. The best player on the pitch last night was Rooney but he was a better player 10 years ago than he is now and our record signing Michael Owen was a better player at 18 than he was at 28. Strikers, in particular seem to peak earlier these days. Hopefully there's another forward still to come in to share responsibility with Mitrovic.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's a different type of forward than Rooney or Owen. They relied on explosiveness in their early days, Mitro is all about positioning and pressence which should improve over time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's class man. Give him 9 next season, when we flog Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Easy to forget the lad is only 21 years old, far from the finished product yet. That's all there is to it. It's a lot to expect from someone that age to shoulder the responsibility for scoring the goals to keep us up. We need a senior striker to rotate with him. He's got loads of potential and is only going to get better, but I see him as a target man rather than a 15-20 goal a season striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Needs to learn when to hold the ball up and draw a foul and relieve some pressure. Also needs to learn to get out the way of goal bound shots although I did see a small sign of that already with Dummett's goal Had him down for 0-5 goals this season.

People expecting him to knock in 20+ goals a season in a couple of years time may well be disappointed. With proper coaching (hmmm) he could become a decent asset to us.

Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I went for 6-10. I'd be disappointed if he didn't bag 10, seeing as he's already on 4 and seems as if he's on pen duty. Hopefully we haven't used up our quota of penalties for the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Lukaku was about 12 though wasn't he? Still though he was an early bloomer but has only really come into his own this season in the prem (not that he's been bad previously like). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying I think Mitro is a goal scorer. He's 21 and will only get better. Kuyt scored 12-13 in the PL, for the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's not a create his own goal striker like Remy, he's got to get on end of chances, the few we create, and score. He's had a tough time of late but there's a tremendously powerful striker there and he needs time. He also needs to be in a team that creates and also plays well around him. The fact he bossed Smalling speaks volumes as to what he's capable of doing in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Think he's more of a Kevin Davies than an Alan Shearer like, he'll benefit from us creating more but he really needs someone close to him more than anything imo.

BrettNUFC Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Mitro's chest pass game is on the same levels as Jan Koller IMO That's one part of his game that he's already mastered.

Absolutely brilliant with the chest passing, links the play up so well with it. A lot of his one touch stuff is pretty good tbh, on the ground as well as in the air. Those knock and runs will be a real asset if we can form a coherent attacking unit one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
