Wow mitro getting a hiding from probably not a sole that watched the game.  :clap:

[emoji38] Would normally completely agree, but it's very obvious, big moments where he's obviously fucked up. Seen the highlights too.

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.

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 :lol:

Yes I typed about 3 words and pressed enter. Badly rattled me

Murphy is 33 and has bags of experience at this level though, not really fair to compare the two.

Would prefer an inexperienced 21 year old from abroad, tbh.

Can anybody who was at the game give us some feedback then? :lol:

 

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.

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.

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.

In the summer people were comparing him to Pelle at Southampton and I don't think Pelle was very good at all at Mitrovic's age yet moulded into an effective Premier League player

I don't think Rafa will want to wait 7 years for Mitro to mature into an effective Premier league striker.

I didn't say he will :lol:

 

I'm just making the point that with age and experience players can turn into better players which Tsunami didn't seem to think is the case

There's parts of Mitro's game which are already useful, he holds players off well and he can lay it off nicely. 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.

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.

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.

I don't get these comparisons. Of course Sturridge misses chances, but does anybody really question whether the guy can finish? He's an absolute natural goal scorer proven at every level.

If we are blaming individuals, think ill blame Sels just for playing.

 

Just seen the highlights, this bloke is a badly programed robot.

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.

Such a s s*** 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.

 

Aye if your place it soft you have to try and send the keeper the wrong way, he didn't try and disguise it at all.
