Altamullan Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He was literally the focal point in our best performance and win of the season Think people are being a bit quick to judge - he's barely played this campaign. This, needs more minutes and needs to play with Perez withdrawn behind him, they've had a good understanding in the past, something we're missing with this Gayle/Diame experiment. Think he needs more minutes, and to have his coach and fans believe in him (I know he should earn it, but he's the kind of player who will run through walls if he feels loved). Don't think we've seen enough evidence to suggest that Mitro with Perez behind is the solution, especially if not scoring enough goals is the problem. Would like to see Gayle running off him: like a poor man's/championship version of Shearer and Bellamy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Made the fuck up that helped gift Villa their goal. Needs to up his game massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 My doubts around Mitrović are starting to settle in now. Feel like I've been making excuses for him for a long time now. First it was new to the league, then how young he is, then lack of service... but as time goes on these excuses are wearing more and more thin. Even down a division he doesn't look like he has the class to succeed. If he can't find the net again by January then it's him that needs to be loaned out and Armstrong that needs to play.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Looked really heavy and overweight too. Wouldn't write him off just yet and while I can't see him getting 15 goals this season he will have a part to play for us overall. Not half as good as he's made out to be though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I'm not going to mention his finishing but all he had to do for the 15 minutes he was on yesterday, was put their centre halves under a bit of pressure, and hold the ball up when it came to him. Two basic aspects of the game your average Sunday League striker shouldn't struggle with. His half-arsed trotting around, and ludicrous back heel attempt was fucking shocking for a bloke on the sort of money he's on. I doubt the other players and manager were very impressed either.

Wallsendmag Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Never understood the backing he gets on here. He hasn't really done anything to justify it. He's probably received more cards from referees than he has scored goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He seems a bit of a loose cannon in terms of mentality & you can imagine Rafa is more about setting a side up well & everyone sticking to exactly what he says. He's analytical, players get a level of freedom but i'm wondering if he doesn't trust Mitrovic as much with the basics. The guy does need match time though. Equally if he was getting it maybe he wouldn't be trying things like back heels in the 10 minutes he did get to prove himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Never understood the backing he gets on here. He hasn't really done anything to justify it. He's probably received more cards from referees than he has scored goals. A lot was his rep though and giving him time to settle given his age. He came here with a bit of a tag of potentially being one of hottest youth prospects in Europe. He was scoring big amounts in the top flight in Belgium and finding net against good sides in the CL. It's weird because he looks devoid of the technique required to be a top league pro and his lack of pace and discipline has really exposed him. I could forgive the pace and discipline if he was a monster for finding the back of the net, but he really isn't. If he is then he's really having a shitter of an 14 month spell with us to not show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Has he actually played more than about 130 minutes yet? Is it not too early to comment on whether or not he will make it in this division? Hes had one full game and two cameo appearances off the bench, given the amount of time Gayle & Perez have been given he will score goals in this league.

Yorkie Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I un/fortunately only caught the last 15 minutes of the Villa game but if that's anything to go by, I'd say fitness was a team-wide issue.
