KaKa Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Can someone tell me what outstanding qualities Mitrovic has over Shola? Come off it. Mitrovic is a thousand times better at holding off defenders receiving the ball to feet or in the air and then linking play. Not to mention basic workrate. Pressing defenders getting back to help defensively. Please don't do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yorkie is on crack tbh. Even if you hated Mitro you'd have no trouble seeing how he is a better footballer than Shola fucking Ameobi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitro can't hold off a defender that weighs more than about 50kilos. Comparisons aside, he's fairly pants and I doubt he'll pull up any trees in the Championship. If he even stays. Which I don't think he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How though? Putting a 'fucking' in his name isn't a convincing argument. Bare in mind I actually said Shola at his best, who was a fair handful.

How though? Putting a 'fucking' in his name isn't a convincing argument. Bare in mind I actually said Shola at his best, who was a fair handful. Goal rate, general play, ability to position himself (though lacking the same ability as Shola when it comes to fucking jumping when necessary), ability to hold off opponents, ability to keep teammates in play (only for them to fuck all the effort up), ability to aid defensive play and then repositioning himself in attacking play quickly and man... just don't. It's so obvious how he's better, man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Shola was s**** most of the time but at his best he pisses all over Mitrovic. dear me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitrovic is 21, in a terrible team, on the brink of relegation and finding his way in a new league...we've not seen anything near what he can do . :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Not to mention he had Steve McClaren as his fucking manager for the better part of a year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Shola was s**** most of the time but at his best he pisses all over Mitrovic. dear me. Still stand by that. On his day Shola was virtually unplayable. It didn't come around very often but Mitrovic hasn't hit anything like those (rare) levels of performance.

Beren Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Three goals when it's too late don't get Mitro off the hook for a season of unmitigated shite. Only shown heart when it's too late - where the fuck was that attitude before the Sunderland game? All too happy to amble around doing piss all, before the big derby game. He's appalling with the ball at his feet. No pace, no tricks, no discernible footballing skill. I was so excited when he arrived, but I saw things in him that just aren't there based on the available evidence of this season. He may develop some parts of his game in the future but right now, he's not better than peak Sherla. Shola could play back in the day. Was promising when he was in the Eng under 21 set-up. Had a few tricks, could beat a man, reasonable strength, his shooting hadn't deteriorated to the shooting power of a three-year old, even showed traces of having goalscoring instincts and movement. Never consistent admittedly and it all went (hilariously) to pot, of course, but his insanely slow and lackadaisical end of career form shouldn't colour that he was a pretty reasonable third/fourth choice striker for a while (depending on who you saw was higher up the pecking order between him and Lua Lua).

Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 People really dislike this lad for absolutely no reason, it's incredible. He's scored 3 goals in his last 1 and a half games and singlehandedly tried to keep us in this league, he has shown more effort and passion to a club he's been at for less than a year than some players who were born and bred at the club. He's 21 and coming into a much more competitive league than he has ever played in, he had a poor start and some bad misses but he's also tried to get into the positions despite being played up front on his own for most of the season with dogshit support and balls lumped up to him with two centre backs right on him. He is by far the worst player for anyone to have a pop at this season and apart from Elliot probably one of the very few who could come out with some credit. To compare him to Shola is absolutely laughable and shows a distinct lack of football knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they always show good movement or that he can get into a good position? What about deflected shots, that were on target, take them away as well? It's not always the case. But good, composed penalty takers, are often good finishers or prolific scorers. I don't see why they should be discounted from goal totals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
