relámpago blanco Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Can't wait for him to be unleashed on Cheltenham, booked after 2 seconds? He'll probably score a hatrick in the first 10 minutes then knock out the ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Needs a good run out against Cheltenham so he'll be ready for Brighton next Saturday. That looks like a massive game now. At home, on Sky, former manager returning and promotion rivals coming, Mitro will be well up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I can see him doing very well this season, but I hope Rafa's curbed his tendency to react and lose his focus when roughed up a bit. It'll happen a hell of a lot in this league. He just has to rise above it, not get involved and stick it up them in the form of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we've been playing so far waiting for his suspension to end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Probably wont happen with Rafa (who knows) but i really hope that we go with 2 up front, playing Mitro and Gayle. First of all we haven't really got a player that has shown how to master the #10 role for us, and with Mitro up front we'd have a focal point and he'd be able to bring others in to play with his hold up play. We'd also have an outlet forward when things get too tight in the middle of the pitch. It's early days but our attacks don't last long and more often than not we run out of options and lose the ball in midfield. Having him up front would make a massive difference. Personally i've always liked the 4-2-3-1 setup but Gayle isn't perfect for it (yes he has scored goals). All of the Palace fans really like him and rated him, most of them thought that he could very very effective but not alone up front, never mind Pardwide. Like i said we don't have a #10 specialist, yes we have Diame but what he does in this role he could do from a CM position as well, maybe even better since he can do more of his runs when there's more space to run in to. The thing is that when you play with an AMC the opposition usually drops a DM down to try and stop this player which means that Gayle is still alone against two CB's and not much space. Playing with another forward next to him, a strong target player like Mitro would force one of the CB to mark him tightly, and even follow him when he comes to meet the ball. This would mean that we'd break the oppositions defensive line and make them more uncomfortable as well as giving Gayle more space to take advantage of his movement and pace. As it is now he can't really be as effective because he can't make these runs as often as he could with us playing two up front, because now he has to play with with his back against goal to give our midfield more options. Playing Diame in the role in front of our CM will be almost the same as us playing a central midfield 3. We'd just end up with one of the CM's serving no purpose forward or defensively, especially with the players we have available right now. Might as well replace that player by playing two up front which will give us more advantages in other areas and ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Agreed, Gayle is by no means a number 10. Wouldn't be wise moving our best goalscorer back to persist with a formation when Gayle and Mitrovic might work well as a partnership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If we played 4-4-2 with Mitrovic and Gayle up top, Rafa would play two defensive midfielders in Colback and Hayden I doubt Shelvey and Diame would play in that system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not sure why people see Colback as a DM. Because he's absolutely shit going forward? He's at least as bad defensively in every way. He's a proper turd of a normal cm if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 His biggest problem is he doesn't really know how to protect the ball. The sending off against Spurs a prime example, in trying to get between the ball and the opposition player he launches in with a high boot which looks really bad when it catches the opponent.

The more I look at it the more it looks like that slip actually saved that supporter's life, as it looks like Mitro is about to chest barge right into him.

hakka Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Really looking forward to his return. We are missing that physical presence up front. If he can shake the naughty stuff and keep focused on his performance he could really hone his ability and get scoring regularly. Him and Gayle should be very tricky together.
