triggs Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 People were fuming he wasn't given the no.9 at the start of the season. Aye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompe Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 http://i.imgur.com/5CnGHaU.png One match left and he's got four. Almost as if people thought he'd start more than ten games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Aye. Whenever he's started he's contributed something pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I would definitely sell him. Yes, he is still young at 22, but he lacks pace, doesn´t do enough off the ball and has a dodgy temperament. If we got 12M for him it would be worth it. Spend it on a decent nº10... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toondave Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If he put away his chances he'd start more, not much of a defence saying he hasn't scored because he hasn't started every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I don't rate him but give him 38 games a season in the PL and he will get 10 goals at least which isn't bad. But to be leading the line at NUFC we need far more than what he gives and he will never get that kind of starting run anyway, so its best we sell for him and us. give the useless knacker 38 games and the Tyne / Wear derby will only be a season away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If he put away his chances he'd start more, not much of a defence saying he hasn't scored because he hasn't started every game Not true like. He came in against QPR, scored and assisted...was dropped. Scored 4 in a week against Preston and was dropped. Gayle has rightfully been number one but the above is bollocks. He likes one up top and that was Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Murphy in the PL Lovely chap by all accounts, and scored a few vital goals to keep us ticking along, but howay man. 3rd or 4th choice hopefully not needing to come on. Mitro in the Premiership is also a piss poor option. You guys must love to see him waste chance after chance. He shouldn't have been put in the position as first choice striker but his misses are one of the reasons we got relegated in the first place. I'd rather play Sammy up front than Murphy. Bahahaha. You been sniffing Gary Hooper's kegs again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I see Gayle as a 1 goal in 3 opportunities kinda guy and Mitro as a 1 in 5. Problem is, Gayle gets 3 opportunities a game, whereas Mitro gets one, misses and then is no longer interested. Like Mitro and would love him to do well here. Just don't see it happening.

taxfree Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Murphy is experienced and a decent option in the Championship. Useless in Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've never agreed with that choice. Also just need to look at Perez's improvement when behind Mitrovic. 5 of his 8 league goals have came in the 10 games Mito has started. Throw in Mitro's 4 goals and 5 assists in those 10 and it suggests to me that something right was happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's canny interesting to see what works in terms of pandering to fans like. I would never have thought that people would be desperate for a player to do well when they're useless at finishing, aren't that great in the air, demands (then misses) pens, who's rash in challenges, and regularly cheats by holding his face and trying to get players sent off, which is probably the weirdest part of it for me - cult figures are rarely both crap and dishonest, he's both.

wyn davies Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Rafa see's him the same way as the rest of us none Mitro worshippers, clearly not good enough for the requirements expected of him, bought as a striker, he cannot hold a candle never mind light a match.

Foluwashola Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Do quite like the mad bastard but he's pretty shite at football and needs to be 3rd choice at best if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that to hold the ball up well, means to also get it to a team mate. That would make Mitrovic not good at all at holding the ball up, he has by far the worst pass success percentage in the team other than goalkeepers. 67.9% is absolutely dreadful.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd like to see that percentage in comparison to other target men rather than other positions where the ball's normally under control rather than coming at them with a defender up their arse.
