Aleksandar Mitrović

[Varadi]

No surprise he scored from a cross, Benitez looks to have identified that's the kind of service the lad needs - keep getting crosses in to him and he will score goals.

[Heron]

This guy. Love him.

Interesting that it came from a floated cross rather than one flashed across the 6-yard box. He doesn't seem sharp enough or quick enough to dart front post and touch it in. Put something like that floated for him to attack far post though and he might get the goals to keep us up.

He's learning. He's a kid but he learns and doesn't stop.

 

Take this example. This is a guy who was booked inside 30 secs on his home debut, booked within 2 minutes in his next match and sent off in 15 minutes of his first full start at home.

 

The same guy yesterday was booked in a full blooded derby only because he took off his shirt when he scored the equaliser. And had he not learnt from his past, he would have chased Martin Atkinson off the field after being adjudge to have made a foul, he would probably shoved his manager and team doctor when being told he was not well or simply, he could have done something stupid out of frustration in the game and got himself sent off.

 

He's learning and he will get better. Cut the kid some slack.

Bring back the floated set penis to Willo Mitro at the back post.

Even just the sort of cross Barton would put in for Carroll. Doesn't have to be a great cross, just something he has a chance with.

[nufcjb]

Even an u-12 kid can cross better than Janmaat. Don't these fuckers practice them in training?

[Lush Vlad]

I always thought he was a bit chubby and overweight, TBH.  He may be a bit too heavy and sluggish, to ever become a top player.  But he certainly isn't fat    Built like a brick shithouse. 

 

So happy for him to get the goal.  Just a shame it wasn't the winner.  I was down in the corner where he got double footed by the fan it was pretty hilarious. 

 

Sadly, he's not enough of a natural goal scorer.  Unless he hits a mad run of form between now and the end of the season.  I just don't see where our goals are going to come from?  I don't think we'll score enough to stop up. 

[Norseman]

I love this maniac like. After that shoulder "foul", it looked like he was about to rip the arms off the ref and beat him to death with the severed limbs until he got a chance to think for a second

 

Really hope he can get a few more important goals this season and help keep us up

[John P]

I'm still angry about that shoulder barge 'foul.' It was a ridiculous decision, he was in down the left as well if I remember it rightly. I had a massive rant about it for a good few minutes after it happened before realising that I was in the house alone, and the cat wasn't listening.

Which is the complete opposite to Cissé, funnily enough. Cissé is great at attacking the low, drilled crosses before the defenders have time to react. I'd try and play them both now and have them in the box with balls played in much more often than we have done this season, should be goals coming from having two strikers that thrive on different sorts of deliveries.

Such a bizarre moment.

He did nearly score at the near post earlier TBF.

[The College Dropout]

He did nearly score at the near post earlier TBF.

The one where he missed by miles?

 

He generally doesn't pull on to the FB like he did fro the goal.

I think Ian probably means the one in the second half when he had a near post header from a Sissoko cross that Mannone saved.

[The College Dropout]

That was a difficult chance tbh. That first chance is where Cisse excels at the near post.  The header was barely a half chance.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Annoyingly seconds after Cisse came on a cross came over that was just to high for Cisse but that would have been perfect for Mitrovic

Nah I meant the one he volleyed miles over, yes he missed it but he did make the right run and beat the defender to the ball. 

[Minhosa]

Never a foul tbf to him.

[John P]

The change from 'I'm going to fucking kill you' to just walking as if nothing has happened is brilliant.

[John P]

Clattermole applauding the decision as well, the odious cretin.

[joeyt]

better delete that vine

[Lush Vlad]

Is Yedelin leaning in to buy the foul?  Or did he genuinely attempt to go shoulder to shoulder with Mitro?  Only to be ragdolled off the pitch, like a small child.
