TRon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 As well as Gayle has done, I honestly believe we would be even more of a threat if Mitro was first choice. Gayle's skill set is different it's all about pace and finishing. Mitro doesn't have that pace of course but he has a lot more power and works very hard (I think that's often forgotten). Clearly it's unlikely that Rafa will ever play them both together and even having said that, I'm not advocating a change. Gayle deserves to be first choice right now, it's a system that's working, so why mess with it ? I just hope that we can keep Mitro happy enough, there's huge potential there and long term the guy could be a legend here if Rafa continues to work on him and his game. I'd need to see how Mitro does against a full strength team before coming to that conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Loved his second goal last night. Finally seeing some attacking guile over just hold up and big man play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mitro looks more suited to playing up on his own, than Gayle. Nice problem to have. Gayle is scoring regularly, Mitro is contributing when called upon. I'm sure he'll get a chance due to injury, suspension or rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 People can honestly come up with some total bullshit to try and spin a negative on this lad, for absolutely no reason like. He had a great match last night - scored two (including a goal that if Gayle scored it, people would be spuffing over it for weeks) and was a constant menace all night, yet people focus on the very minor and completely irrelevant points. There was nothing in the penalty incident other than two people wanting to score. He got over it within about 30 seconds. He can never win with a section of our support who have a clear dislike for him with absolutely no justification. He put to bed a few myths last night, there was nothing wrong with his pace and he was a lot quicker than I thought he is, he scored a good goal with his head and he showed great composure/finishing with his 2nd.

Rebellious Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It really did look like he was crying over the penalty incident. I'm frightened over what his celebration would've been if he'd got a third, probably would've speared someone. Don`t know if its been mentioned, only went back 2-3 pages but I was shitting it in case Mitro did get a hat trick. I could see him taking his shirt off for the second time, getting a second yellow and off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's started two games this season (Cheltenham not included as he was off the pitch with a knock to the head) and scored three goals... Terrible finishing. Anyone know his conversion rate this season? I'd stab a guess that it's higher than Perez, Gayle and Diame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say that at all, but we judge a player based on the current form do we not? Is Vardy a s*** player because he scored next to f*** all in his first season in the Premier League? Or is he allowed the opportunity to adjust to a new level? Vardy's first season in the PL: 26 starts, 8 sub appearances 2247 minutes of football 5 goals Mitrovic's first season in the PL: 22 starts, 12 sub appearances 2117 minutes of football 9 goals Could find similar stats for millions of players (especially foreign) during the first year in the PL.

Guest chopey Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ritchie was on Talksport today and he said he thinks the world of Mitro and Ritchie is the clubs penalty taker so he took it, he hinted that Rafa would not have been too pleased if he handed the pen to Mitro. There are no negatives to be taken from the incident, its just a professional footballer acting professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 1: 20 years old 2: New league 3: Shit manager 4: New shit team 5: Thrown in straight away 6: Pressure He was never gonna hit the ground running straight away and as he wasn't able to perform to the level everyone expected his confidence obviously went to shit and after that happens it can take a while before you're back to perform at the level you potentially can. I'm not sure how many of you play or have played football at a decent level, but when your confidence is down and nothing clicks then you start thinking too much and when a chance comes you kind of feel insecure and even before you've touched the ball you almost know that you will miss and that's what usually happens then. He has a lot to prove and hasn't done anything yet really, but i've always had belief in him and thought that his time will come, and that his finishing will improve as he gains more confidence and experience. Hopefully i'm right. It all went wrong from the beginning, we never should have needed to rely on a 20 year old in new league going in as 1st choice more or less straight away. I really like him and i think he has a bright future and hopefully that will be at this club time will tell.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 As if people have anything of note to say about the pen thing 55 mins and Ritchie wallops the pen in, Mitro goes over to him to apologise and celebrate. Less than two minutes later Mitro scores that class goal and Ritchie celebrates with him. Like fuck is it worth anything more than a passing comment ffs.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I never said he did. Everyone's pulling in the same direction and I cannot think of a player who doesn't look on board at the minute. Mitrovic has always had people on his back though and he's never looked like he's going to half arse it, last season or now. EDIT: basically even last season, when we clearly couldn't be arsed, he never hid or shirked his responsibility. He wasn't ready but he still battled away to the best he could up top.

ponsaelius Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm well on board the Mitro fan club atm. Fluctuates though. He's another bad game or red card away from me calling him a useless lumbering idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
