Cronky Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Too slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Too passive. Has effective areas of play but no striker instinct. He can bring others into the game but its not enough. Shola was better and that's saying something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We need to get what we can for him. Been here for 2 seasons now and demonstrated he's not up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Too slow. This is his issue and he doesn't make up for it in other areas of his game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He's not good enough and we all know it. Rafa will too but perhaps we should think about signing players before letting them go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (insert any Newcastle player or manager name) is fucking rubbish. Yawn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Deserves a new contract after that assist I reckon. Nowt says enjoying promotion more than 3 posts whinging about a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We'll easily get our money back for him, he's only 22. Why would someone pay £13n plus for someone worse than Shola regardless of age? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115279/Show/Aleksandar-Mitrovic 10 starts, 4 goals and 5 assists fwiw. The figures there suggest he's better as a starter than impact sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm not saying he would've done what Gayle did obviously, but he was slightly unlucky in that Gayle's form eclipsed everyone else. I thought Rafa had written him off, but maybe not completely. I would be happy enough with Gayle, Mitro and a new signing as strikers. Assuming we don't consider Perez able to play there.

hakka Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If there's a club out there there will take him off us for a decent fee still I'd say take it asap. We will need goals and players that can play in Rafa's system and he's just not got it. Too slow, not sharp and can't use his natural assets to best effect. Likeable character and someone I'd love to see as a goal scoring number 9 for us, but last two years have sealed it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The Premier League is so different to the Championship in terms of physicality, Mitro seems to thrive on the physical side of the game, he wont get much love from Premier League referees, like he didn't in the short time he played with us in the Premier League during last season. Players like Perez and Hayden will thrive in the Premier League though. Sadly, Mitro will need to be moved on as he will be a liability for us next season.

St1pe Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I thought his overall game was good last night but the same problem was there - he doesn't look like scoring. I'd keep him for next season, there's a player in there somewhere but he can't be who we're relying on to keep us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I like the guy BUT he has no future here, he isn't good enough to play as a lone striker and we know Rafa won't play with 2 up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 His aerial challenges were pitiful last night. I don't know if he has a problem jumping or he just couldn't be arsed but he never once looked like beating a defender in the air. Isn't that supposed to be his strength? Out of all of our players I want Mitro to succeed the most because as a character he's brilliant but I just don't think it's going to happen for him. I get that he's not suited to Rafa-style football but we were hoying balls in the box all night last night (which should be his bread & butter) and he never once looked like scoring.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Should be kept but no higher than third choice. Offers far more than Shola unless we're talking about when Shola was young and played for a much better team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 His final chance at the end of the game was hilarious. Perfect height for the header, un marked, in a great position....nearly clears the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yet the only reason that ball came into the box was as a result of some very good play by him in the channel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 His final chance at the end of the game was hilarious.

Hughesy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That wasn't exactly an easy chance - he only had the keeper and two defenders on the line to beat on a header from about 15 yards where he had to generate all the power himself... I mean - at least criticise him for chances he should be scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I don't mind him missing chances anyway, as long as he's looking like a goal threat they'll come. He's already been coached to concentrate on the ball instead of the defender, so maybe we can add the goal next! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He was decent tonight. Those saying perez played well, he had two freak goals, one i think was more Clarks goal than his. Mitro played equally as well if not better imo. Ritchie was getting pissed at Mitro not going for his delivery. But Preston after his first 5 to 10 mins of Mitro getting a couple of chances doubled up on him in the box. And in the end it was Atsu looking for scraps that Mitro was being marked out of. Apart from his goals, Perez also did that bicycle kick which led to the pen, and had that volley against Leeds which was saved point blank.If there's one player to keep out of those two it's no contest for me.

Amir_9 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Surely there are strikers of his age and not much higher than his transfer value that can do the same job he does as well as are better at finishing. I was expecting him to be somewhat like what Carroll was for us (in the Championship) this year, but wasn't the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
