Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Norwich are going through the season with Jerome & Mbokani up front. If we go down it's not because of Mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's fucking brilliant and some posts in this thread are an embarrassment. Goals will come. What's embarrassing? People are saying he keeps missing sitters and he does. People go overboard with the criticism and the praise. If he was converting his easier chances I'd say he'd been brilliant. If Riviere was missing the chances Mitro is he'd be shot with shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We'd have scored 4 or 5 today with a proper centre forward. Yeah, Demba Ba would have had 2 or 3 today. Misstrovic is a good all around player, but he is paid to score goals, the one thing missing from his game. Hope we aren't relegated on the back of that fact. Comparing a rough diamond early in his career in a new league versus a seasoned pro on top of his game. Doesn't matter whether he's a rough diamond or a seasoned pro, we need some fucker who can put the ball in the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many goals has Wijnaldum scored because of him? He makes space or gets accurate knock downs. Anyone wanting to drop a player who's doing this knows nout about football. The goals will come. Especially with Shelvey in the side now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Lacking confidence in the box. Sissoko fizzed one in and he first timed it, just concentrated on keeping it down and on target, made it easy for the keeper. A confident forward would have had it lashed. I'm prepared to give him time but would like another forward in aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't understand why people are dismissing Mitrovic as an exciting young talent who clearly has a lot to his game but who needs to develop his finishing, I equally can't understnad why people who see the potential in mitrovic think that we should be relying on a player who isn't finishing often enough when we are in a relegation scrap. We should have signed a more certain experienced goal scorer in summer and we should now. It may impede his development but that needs to take second place to making sure we stay up, there have been plenty of games where if we could but finish we'd have got 2 more points and we'd be safe by now.

relámpago blanco Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wonder if Misstrovic would have more success if he was bonused with a neck tattoo every time he notched. I've been waiting for someone to call him that. He leads our line and today we would probably have lost without him. He doesn't score enough but every time we score a goal he is involved He is young and the way he dominates centre backs at such a young age is ridiculous. Hr has done fucking amazing considering how shit we have been. His finishing is poor from wide if it's ito feet or if he has time to think as in one on one. He is in the right positions and just a bit of guidance over time will improve that. I am proud of the way he leads our line. He works his arse of and brings people.into play. He is one of our most.important players as he is basically.involved in everything we do. If Cisse had played and not scored a couple we would have lost today.

BONTEMPI Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It'll come for Mitrovic. I'd be more worried if he was getting himself offside all the time and not aiding his team mates. If only he had an extra yard of pace he'd be a right fucker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thought he did the hard stuff really well today and the easy stuff really bad. Annoyed me at the ground when people were getting annoyed at him for not closing Collins down very quickly. Looked to me that it was a clear plan to allow Collins to play it out from the back, rather than Ogbonna because Collins can only really hoof it, so Mitro marked Ogbonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 love mitro personally, wouldn't want a new striker to come in to replace him at this stage as i feel the attack is starting to click together as a whole and he'll benefit massively from that, if there was someone to bring in as backup to play his role / challenge him for it then that makes sense but replacing him as first choice would be a very poor decision right now imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Riviere was missing the chances Mitro is he'd be shot with s***. These posts in the bottom are an example of posts that are embarrassing after the game he had today. I also don't think his finishing is going to be dogshit forever or that the veranda spider will forever shoot better than him. He has scored 20 goals a season already in his career and he is only 21. He will never be prolific. He's a centre forward who has no pace and isn't a natural finisher. That's not a good combination, I like him as a trier but, he's not going to get the goals we need if we are to be any good. We'd have scored 4 or 5 today with a proper centre forward.

KaKa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So many chances originated from his initial good play in holding the ball up or linking play superbly. I hope we haven't started taking such things for granted. It's quite easy to forget how awful we were at playing off the front man with Cisse in there. He deserves a run to get out of his slump.

triggs Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think if we add a proper left winger (or play that dude we spent 12m on) who can get some crosses on this dudes forehead, this whole conversation will be moot. He'll be scoring for fun Very simplistic view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He was involved in all of our goals against Man Utd, but its not just that. Him linking play allowed us to do what we did today. Obviously plenty of players contributed a lot (Wijnaldum was fantastic for instance). But without Mitrovic flicking it on, or laying it off for midfield players that performance just wouldn't have happened. He fucking lead the line amazingly. Some people seem to have the delusion that he could have just been replaced by a finisher and obviously the same chances would have come his way regardless, as if Mitrovic contributed nowt other than trying to put the ball in the net himself. In reality he was essential to just about everything we did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I thought he played well apart from the finishing, Hopefully this will improve if so think we will have a really good centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The notion that Mitrovic would have way more goals if we got more crosses in is ridiculous IMO. Was doing a bit of googling and since he was signed in 2012/13 Giroud, as of October had the most headed goals in the Premier League with 14 goals in 3 and a bit seasons. That's about three or four a season, and that's the best performing player in that area since he came to the league. So if Mitro was as good as the most prolific header in the league he would have probably one more headed goal than he does have Nothing against Mitro btw, really good player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Think it's far more likely that he starts scoring than any potential new signing like. There's no way we're signing this mythical premiership proven prolific goal scorer, we'd just be signing someone else who has to bed in. Mitrogol will come through.
