Wallsendmag Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Since he came we've played our best stuff with him in the team. I see him as a Mark Hughes type striker, not prolific but you miss what he does when he isn't there. And also, for all the people slating him for not scoring his chance, at least he got himself into a position to have a shot at goal, which Gayle was unable to do during the whole 90. Getting into goalscoring positions has never been his problem. It's his finishing that let's him down time and time again. Don't think anyone in the crowd expected him to score when he was put through on goal yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference does it make if he can't score when the chance drops right at his feet with only the keeper to beat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Play him and Gayle together, Atsu and Ritchie on the wings, take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'd stick with Gayle first and try to get the rest of the team functioning to create chances which he can put away. This bullshit of 'things happen' when Mitrovic is playing is really just an excuse for resorting to hoofing it long and hoping something drops our way. He can't finish, and if we are resorting to long ball, then we are really dumbing down to championship level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The last two games Mitro started we scored 11 and he's scored in both. The football was good in both games. A few of those goals were without him on the pitch but it's a bit bollocks to say he's an excuse to go long ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm not actually seeing these games live so will hold off judgement, but circumstantial benefits of his playing like 'things happen' or 'when he starts we score 11' isn't really telling me much about what he brings. He holds the ball up well against big defenders is the best I'm seeing so far, but then Murphy could probably do that as well and maybe finish better when he gets the chance.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Started once this season and scores, plays 25 minutes doesn't score and hes getting grief already.

ilikenewcastle Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just saw his missed chance from yesterday. Not as bad as some people suggested, but it's what I hate to see from a striker. All he's thinking about is getting rid of the ball as soon as possible, his priority isn't to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 A higher quality, in form striker shows the composure to score there. That being said the keeper did well and it wasn't as easy as some people suggest. I'm sure a load of the mongs at St James' haven't ever played football.

Perez has been far worse over more appearances and everyone falls over themselves to make excuses for him, definite favourites on here. His chances he missed last season f***ed us, he's also already missed 2 excellent chances in 2 games this season. He deserves the criticism. His goals at the back end of the season almost saved us as well. He's missed 2 decent chances which are by no means nailed on for any striker to score, but because he could have done better he's judged on 2 'excellent chances' he's missed, rather than the positives he brings to the team and the fact that he's scored and has a fantastic goals-minutes ratio off his last 10 competitive games. It's quite easy to suss out the people who have an agenda against him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every post about Perez has been about how poor he has been except for the QPR game where he played well Most have been people saying hes better in this position or that position, and others just flat out saying hes a quality player and will come good when in reality hes looked poor in both positions for a long time and we're still waiting on something from him to prove hes as good as most seem to think he is.

Lush Vlad Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not see the game from Saturday, other than the 3 minute lowlights. I didn't think the miss was that bad. Should have tried to get some height on it or went for the lob. But I thought it was going to be a complete sitter from 8 yards, or something. I thought Mitro was a big reason as to why we played so well against QPR. His hold up play allowed others to join in the attack, he defended from the front, which kept the pressure on and he was a nuisance in the air. From what I have seen of Gayle. He looks fast and a good finisher. But in the games I have seen, we have had no control whatsoever, when he has been up front on his own. It's not his game and I don't think he is suited to that system, at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 We should really be playing with Gayle and Mitro all the time, stop trying to fit Ayoze in. if Ayoze plays, he needs to play behind a big striker. Gayle & Mitro up top with Atsu and Ritchie wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 At least this big fucker is getting on the end of chances and therefore there's, surely, still a good chance that he might improve his goal/games ratio. He's showing instincts for goal, he's just needs to brush up his bloody finishing - the stupid twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 He may become a better all round centre forward with age but he's never going to be a finisher because he just doesn't have that instinct in front of goal. That's not something you can really coach either. Andy Cole was arguably the best finisher we've ever seen here and when he went to Man Utd he improved as a football but to the detriment of his finishing ability when he was required to remodel his game. I don't think you can work it the other way around. Then there's the problem with his chronic lack of pace and very dodgy disciplinary record and I just don't think he'll have enough about him to do what we need him to do. Really hope he does because I love how proud he is to play for NUFC, you can see it in his face but I don't think he's got enough attributes to his game to make it here. If the rumours about Benitez trying to move him on in the summer are true it's obviously something the manager feels as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
