DJ_NUFC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 On the Periscope feed from the away stand, there was a patch of sustained chanting of his name. Can someone tell me why our fans are so desperate to see him play? Have we done this for any other players since HBA, who actually deserved chanting to be put onto the field? Wasn't really sustained chanting for him. He was warming up regularly on the sidelines and he was appreciating the support from the crowd for the team. Obviously his celebrations with Gayle's goals got him a good reception as well as he was only sub to join in really. His passion for the club on and off the pitch definitely serves him well with the fans as well as arriving with a big reputation for being a top prospect. As well as getting a lot of love from fans, you've still got a large section that don't like him at all, it's quite split i reckon. That explains it. If he was engaging with the crowd and warming up and joining in the celebrations, it makes sense the crowd would reciprocate.

Can someone tell me why our fans are so desperate to see him play? Have we done this for any other players since HBA, who actually deserved chanting to be put onto the field? He was warming up right in the corner to the side of away end, that's all rather than people chanting because they wanted him on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair questions, but Mitro hasn't done enough in front of goal to justify the hefty price tag or compare his record to Gayle's (so far). We all know he has bags of potential, is young, new to (now two) foreign leagues, etc. And we know he brings a different aspect to our game. All his positive and negative attributes have been discussed to death here. If he were to leave, it won't be a great loss. I hope he stays and carves a place out for himself, but that's all upto Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 spoke volumes that he wasn't used at all last night imo. Can't see much of a future at rafa's nufc for him unless something dramatically changes. Have you been reading the Chronicle? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitezs-decision-leave-aleksandar-12046018 IMO, he wasn't used because he wasn't needed. If it was still 0-0 at 65/70 minutes then we'd have seen him. But we were controlling the game and didn't need to change anything which is why the subs came on late. He'll have a part to play this season, but he cant drop Gayle when he is scoring so many goals. I didn't say drop gayle, it's obvious he can't at the minute, but the game was won and he'd warmed up for the majority of the second half. Why not stick him on if he likes him? Hard to see where his game time will come from imo. Don't think rafa feels he can trust him and that can only change with game time. Game time he isn't getting.

Aye, he was brought on against Norwich becuase we needed to break them down and against Rotherham becuase they'd won about 40 corners. Probably the same thinking against Villa too as they were killing us in the air for the last 20 minutes. He gives us an outlet to hit when under pressure as well. 2-0 up against Barnsley he's probably thinking the pace of Atsu, Diame and Gayle can get in behind. He's got to start winning headers to become that outlet you mention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Maybe Rafa didn't want to deny Gayle the chance of another hattrick Maybe you're right.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Do players not decide themselves when to warm up a majority of the time? I presumed that they have to be ready to go on to the pitch at any given time, so they go out when they feel they need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Next week Lovejoy tells us that Dwight Gayle needs to start scoring goals if he's to surpass the half dozen mark this season. He doesn't win anywhere near enough headers for his size,certainly not enough to become the 'outlet' you talk of. That more clear? Watch the villa footage, see how many he wins to justify being brought on 'because they were killing us in the air'. From the stands, I counted 0. Could be wrong.

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 There's still 33 games left to be played this season Baring injuries, can you see him getting much game time? Yeah, he'll play when he's needed. I can still see him scoring at least another 7 or 8 this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he'll play when he's needed. I can still see him scoring at least another 7 or 8 this season. This is essentially my point. When is he needed? Barring injury he doesn't do what people on here think he does. Or not for me anyway. This 'outlet' and 'good in the air' stuff, I'm yet to see it this season like. He cost is points at villa and could have cost us the win at Norwich through through being s thick cunt. My opinion is rafa doesn't trust him, and I can't see how that changes without minutes on the pitch, which he isn't getting. I've only seen the majority of games he's played this season from the stands, so I haven't rewatched footage etc, but he doesn't won anywhere near enough headers to justify this 'outlet' tag. If he was brought on because we were getting 'killed in the air' against villa then he didn't do his job, because he didn't win fuck all, and that's a familiar pattern imo.

captainhaircut Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I wasn't at the Norwich game so forgive me, but how did he nearly cost us the game? Didn't he play a key role in both the late goals? We wouldn't have scored those types of goals without him on the pitch so that surely shows his value?

Cost us the win against Villa even though he didn't concede the orignal corner, nor did he concede the 2nd corner that they actually scored from. Not to mention he didn't lose his man or flap at the cross. As for the Norwich game, he's one of the very reasons we won it due to their CB's absolutely shitting themselves at his presence. Absolutely ridiculous comment to even make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm too negative on him because I'm disappointed as I thought he'd be better, but he could easily have been flagged for the last goal at Norwich, and he was nothing short of horseshit against villa, that stupid flick especially. Would love to be proved wrong, but as I said originally, I don't think rafa trusts him, and I don't blame him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the Norwich game and have only seen the sky footage of the last two goals, so I'll accept your point on that, he still could easily have been flagged for the last though.

Saying he cost us against Villa, doesn't win headers, some bullshit about Norwich. A possible offside and a fairly poor cameo against Villa. Quick, throw him under the bus. He's shit. If you wanted to point to his lack of composure and pace. Then I'd tend to agree. But you're not. You're talking shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
