Guest palnese Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thought he was brilliant today, apart from the finishing. He's a young lad and new to the league, but he's a real handful for any defender. The goals will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If only he could score. Great player in general play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's very good at holding up the ball and bringing players into play, his finishing is dog shit. I'm excited for his future however, good potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I feel for the lad as I know he can do it. Lots of good play with the ball when he had it, and unlucky not to score. Just wish we weren't relying on him to score while we are in a relegation battle during his first season in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 His shooting is terrible for a striker. He seems to take ages to get a shot away. Played really well apart from that but if he could finish his chances we'd have won comfortably. Make him do extra shooting practice during the week.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's quality. The goals will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If he can start scoring goals he'll be immense as he has everything else you would want from a forward and he's an important player for us even without the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thought he was brilliant today, apart from the finishing. He's a young lad and new to the league, but he's a real handful for any defender. The goals will come. This. I still think we should have signed Austin in summer as well, and another striker this window as we can't gamble and need goals to come, but not calling him a dud, he's young and he'll get confidence and goals will happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 His all round play is decent but really needs to work on his finishing, a top striker would've had at least a couple from his chances today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's quality. The goals will come. They will. He probably won't score enough, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He was fucking class, if he can put in half that performance each week and start to add a few goals he'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looked a lot more livelier today,put himself about and defended from the front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Absolutely love this guy. His record shows he can finish so just a matter of time. The weight of having to score because we are so far down the table has got to him a bit. Keep him in there and the goals will come, especially if we continue creating more chances with Shelvey now in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I feel like the shooting is a confidence thing, or at least I hope it is. He's key to most of our good play Agree that it's all about confidence. He's not taking shots when he should be, he's taking 100 touches and either not getting a shot away or just scuffing it at the keeper. Needs an opportunity where he has no time to overthink it.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 His link up and hold up play was absolutely superb today. Just needs to start burying a few of the chances he gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 People need to calm down about him IMO. He's giving it 100% and there's immense pressure on him. Sure it's frustrating that he's been missing chances but it's thr clubs fault they put all their eggs in one basket with him. He's the type of player at his age that needs to be eased into things alongside a more experienced striker. I think he'll get there but they need to bring a proven goal scorer in to take the pressure off him a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He seems to get the ball and then tries to twist and turn to get into a better shooting position whereas someone like Perez takes a quick shot. Mitrović's method is giving defences too many chances to block his shot. His shooting power is erratic too. He blasted that shot from an acute angle which the keeper had to push over yet, when he was facing goal his shots were piss weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Think he was probably used to more space in Belgium and now to compensate he is shooting too quickly. Never going to be particularly prolific IMO but if others keep joining in like Perez and Gini it'll be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Aye his hold up play was class. Must have had twenty shots though bless him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He is a real target man, which we have not really had for a while. We were lumping balls towards Perez up front under Carvdew ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He Reminds me of what Benzema does for Real Madrid, absolutely runs his socks off for the team and links up the play quite well, just needs to add goals and we'll have some player on our books.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Finishing aside, he was very good. If he hits a vein of goalscoring and form and notches 10 for the season, it'll have been a really solid year for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
