triggs Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You cannot remove the goals he scored from being subbed on like It's not great either way though. Well you can when I was just talking about starts in my post. We all know he's a handful coming off the bench a lot of the time Alright, but what's the point in removing the goals when he got subbed? I don't get what you're trying to say. I didn't remove goals when he got subbed, did I? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 His headers are of high quality, thats his strength. Goal yesterday, one against Sunderland, the one against Norwich, these are all top class finishes. Shearer/Carrollesque headers. His finishing with his feet & general speed of foot very dodgy. He's not scored a single goal with his feet with a defender between him & the goalie. Two pens, two 1on1's and one tap in. As seen yesterday, he tries to get the ball out of his feet & its too slow and easily blocked. He airshot the one slid across, even though it was good defending also. Same reason for these "clumsy" red cards. He has the heading, the strength, movement. He has to be quicker with his feet, maybe championship will help him. Are you actually comparing this pudding in the air to 2of the greatest headerers of a ball the premier league has had along with Sir les, your having an absolute laugh if you think this plank who's headers are an absolute joke to be honest is anything like Shearer or big Andy was Hows he a pudding in the air? He's generally done well in the air whenever given a decent opportunity. He has a strong build, he's made for those situations. We should really have been putting in far more crosses to him. Headers are a joke? He hit the bar v Man United, Scored from a tight angle v Sunderland, Edge of area v Norwich, decent way out yesterday. They're not easy headers. He's poor on the floor, no point having a go at what he's good at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Ferdinand and Sheringham were better in the air than both Shearer and Carroll for me tbh. But it's really splitting hairs. Ferdinand's spring and hang time was NBA-esque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he's a lot better coming off the bench and he's generally been poor when he's started. 1 goal from play per 4.4 games when he starts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think the reason fans are divided over Mitro is that he hasn't really proven anything one way or another. He's scored a few goals but not enough. He's decent in the air, but not exactly a sharp finisher with the ball at his feet. Needs to be a 20 goals a season man if he's going to lead the line for us.

Ikon Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 A striker with low confidence can easily look bad at times. Especially when he's only 21 and playing in a crap team in a new league. He is a lunatic but i'm sure there is so much more to come from him. I'm pretty sure he will become a very good player for us. Would like to see someone in the style of Remy next to him as one of the players playing a bit wider (along with Townsend IF he stays) and an attacking LB to give width on the left hand side.

Rompe Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Statistically Mitrovic has actually been our best player in terms of goals or assists pr minute this season, with a goal or assist every 163 minute. (9 goals and 4 assists in 2117 minutes). The rest of our offensive players: Townsend every 181 minute (4 goals and 2 assists in 1089 minutes) Wijnaldum every 198th minute (11 goals and 5 assists in 3169 minutes) Ayoze every 256 minute (6 goals and 2 assists in 2050 minutes) Cisse every 357 minute (3 goals and 0 assists in 1071 minutes) Sissoko every 402 minute (1 goals and 7 assists in 3223 minutes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36310845 Plagiarism. Video on youtube of our fans singing it on 9th February! All chants are pinched from somewhere. I do find it strange that it has only been noticed, once Wigan fans started chanting it?! Do they even have fans turn up to games? There are some great videos going around of the Will Grigg's on Fire chant. Back to Mitrovic, I'm not sure how accurate this is, as my Serbian isn't the best. But whatever you think of the fruit loop. It is nice to see a player that actually wants to play for us: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "a load" is now defined as one or two and "sitters" is now defined as half-chances, then yes. The amount of "sitters" that Vardy, Kane, Aguero, Neymar, Messi miss every game man. It only looks bad on Mitro because we only create two chances a game whereas those strikers play for teams that create 90 a game so their miss is a lot less costly. He's had an okay start to his career with us, actually wants to play for us and deserves the least stick this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
