He should have started, but I can see why Rafa dropped him. Mitrovic seems at his best when he is fired up and being dropped wouldn't have made him happy. Rafa was looking for him to respond to being dropped and he did. Good management IMO of the player if not exactly good management regarding the team selection from the start...

I think Rafa admitted to dropping him because he had played midweek for the national team. :lol:

Well we got two goals from him as a substitute so it wasn't the worst decision.

Peter Lovenkrands scored goals in the Championship. End of discussion. He'd blitz it.

 

Lovenkrands' and Mitrovic's goal rates are pretty comparable in the Premier League. The former also had a turn of pace and was a neat finisher. Shola would be a better comparison but again, he was a much more accomplished finisher than Mitrovic.

 

He'd score some goals, for sure, but I doubt he'd destroy/blitz it. We're not gonna airkick our way to promotion.

Are you on crack tonight or what? Lovenkrands scored about 7 PL goals for us in 2 and a half seasons.

I never understood you hatred towards Lovenkrands (unless I'm mistaking you for someone else), he wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but he seemingly cared, and gave his all.

Shola's best ever season in the top flight was 9 in 30 and that was at his peak in the mid 2000s. Mitrovic is probably going to beat that in one of the worst seasons we've had in the last 30 years as an under 21 striker. Shola is a woeful comparison surely?

agreed, mitro will probably hit double figures this season, in his first season in the league, in a god awful team.

 

the original comment is very harsh/negative, but the lovenkrads/shola comparisons are worse.

 

(Pretty sure shola averaged better than 1 in 2 in the championship as well!)

He scored 9 in about 30 appearances including off the bench. He was useful squad member capable of pinching a goal here and there; a role Mitrovic should've had.

 

He scored 9 in 45 appearances.  Mitrovic has 8 in 27.
