Guest firetotheworks Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Wow mitro getting a hiding from probably not a sole that watched the game. Would normally completely agree, but it's very obvious, big moments where he's obviously fucked up. Seen the highlights too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Not seen anything from the game but it's hard to turn it on straight away when you're getting 90 mins every three weeks. Definitely seems like the type of player who needs a run of games to get going. Bollocks. Murphy hasn't played all season, came in and taken his chance. Stop making excuses.

triggs Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Lincoln beat top of the Championship today, cant imagine Brighton fans are having a cry wank over some of their players performance. Its the cup its always full of upsets. We feilded inexperienced players/players returning from injury/ and unfamiliar set up. I wouldn't pin the result on one man. They are actually, on that north stand forum, although their result was obviously worse than ours You ran over and checked Yes I typed about 3 words and pressed enter. Badly rattled me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Can anybody who was at the game give us some feedback then? He did some decent little chest traps and flicked headers. The run for the penalty was also good. Unfortunately he missed three absolutely great chances including one where he fell over the ball. And obviously missed a penalty (which I said at the time should've been given to someone else). Overall he was very poor and because of those misses I would say he cost us the game. That said, in the second half the whole team didn't turn up. And additionally, Ayoze was also pap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a constant stream of excuses for him, just because he beats his chest and waves his arms at the crowd, people think he is worthy of a place ( not directing that at you Klaus) Some people are easily pleased.

Tsunami Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You'd have to be wilfully ignorant or a bit dense to think that youth and/or inexperience in a particular league isn't a factor in performance levels. Of course it is, but you're either a goal scorer or you're not, regardless of age. Same goes for pace , mobility and effort, no use apologising afterwards for the result. I can still see him coming off the bench at Forest when we had 9 men and he and Diame made us look like we were down to 7 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in front of goal he looks really amateurish at times, for me that's the critical asset for any striker. I'll bet Armstrong would finish with more assurance one on one.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He's not good enough and will be gone in the summer but seems to have a cult following becaus he gets radged up now and then. Murphy over him any day of the week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Can anybody who was at the game give us some feedback then? He did some decent little chest traps and flicked headers.

That said, in the second half the whole team didn't turn up. And additionally, Ayoze was also pap. I like what Klopp said the other day about Sturridge something like, "he had two chances, however he is human - so he missed these chances". Mitrovic has just come back from an injury (which looked grim), thrown into a dysfunctional eleven of misfits and youngsters playing a system they don't usually and expected to score every chance he gets to singlehandedly win us the game. Not accounting for the keeper keeping him out with some good saves. Aye, he was very poor today - but did anyone come out of this with any credit? The whole team was dreadful. Where was Perez, what was he doing? What did he achieve as one of our most senior players? Maybe if Mitrovic employed some tit to make social media posts about loving the Geordie nation stood beside a Christmas tree as Perez does, he'd get less criticism. Mitrovic has played well this season when he has started matches, other than today and against Blackburn. Gayle has also had some stinkers this season where he's barely touched a ball and we've lost the game. It happens. It also happens more frequently if you are dipped in and out of the team and you struggle for consistency and good performances, especially as a striker. See Sturridge at Liverpool. People mentioned Murphy coming in and hitting the ground running - well he didn't against Wolves in the EFL Cup (where he missed chances and was pretty average). Murphy has scored in the last two games against really woeful opponents in dire form. The Rotherham keeper for example, was embarrassingly bad. Whereas today, the Oxford one had a stormer. I'm not saying Mitro will be a great success or anything. I firmly believe that Rafa will sell him, but he is used as a scapegoat by a large majority of our support. If we started him every week as we do with Gayle, he'd have a similar goal tally at this level. Whether he's good enough next season if we are a PL club is a completely different story.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I was just giving my impression of how Mitro did today. The team was only dreadful in the second half TBH, after we went behind and their confidence went. Basically a fair point though. FWIW I don't believe he'd score anywhere near as many goals as Gayle TBH, Gayle is a born finisher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Such a s shit penalty - his head movement as he struck it (or just before) made it so obvious to the keeper as to where he was going to hit it. Amateurish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Can anybody who was at the game give us some feedback then? He looked overweight. He got involved in a scuffle for no reason. He missed 3 great chances 1st half. He earned a penalty and fair play grabbed the ball immediately to take it and I'd give credit to the GK. Link up play was poor to average. He fired a half chance wide 2nd half. 2/10 WNB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
