Tsunami Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 He should have scored today but he was far more effective than Gayle. it's the one area of the pitch were I have concerns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thought it was Gayle with that chance when seeing it at the stadium.. Sorry but this lad really needs to score more goals, I just don't see the hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but this lad really needs to score more goals, I just don't see the hype. The hype is just mainly on here tbh. In 10 years time he'll be at some obscure club in another country and will be known as a journeyman striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The good performances in that run were after Mitrovic came on. Our best performance this season by far was his first and only start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Think its becoming evidently clear both of them need to start (or at least one of them with Gouffran feeding them) together. Because him playing on his own last year didn't get anythnig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Perez has been far worse over more appearances and everyone falls over themselves to make excuses for him, definite favourites on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
