Aleksandar Mitrović

[Bimpy474]

Why bring him on for like 4 minutes at the end when we're 3-2 down? :lol:

 

Won't give him a chance at all to start a game but will chuck him on when all else has failed.  Really is exactly like Pardew's treatment of Ben Arfa.

 

Sell the poor sod in January at the earliest possible chance and use the money to get someone else who will actually play

 

 

What's confusing you?

 

He came on at the end and we were 3-2 down. Turns out he came on in the 89th min

 

Well, a manager will tend to bung on a big striker when you're 2-3 down with a couple of minutes to go like.

Did you get a bang on the head recently?

evidently 

I don't understand what you're trying to say there though like? Both strikers had done well and it looked like it was going to be a draw. Suddenly we needed a goal and we brought him on. Not that hard to understand

 

"i don't trust you to score in 90 minutes, so get on there and score in the 4 minutes that are left"

 

Chuck Shelvey on or someone you play and at least have a bit of faith in.  Makes no sense to me throwing Mitro on when he clearly hates him

But every manager throws on a big lad up top when they need a goal

*puts Shelvey on*

 

"We're 3-2 down ffs! Why's he not putting a striker on!?"

 

 

I think that would be the louder point tbh, and justifiably so. I'm not gonna knock Rafa for putting a striker on when a goal's needed, it's a roll of the dice.

Threw Pique up top for Barca when they were losing in a CL semi once I recall

Fair point, well made i must say.

[HaydnNUFC]

Selling him to a relegation rival would be fucking daft.

[Dr.Spaceman]

Would you say the same about Jack Colback? No real difference here.

[afar]

Would you say the same about Jack Colback? No real difference here.

 

 

Yeah exactly the same.. smh.

[Kimbo]

I wouldn't say the same about Colback because he's a completely ineffective turd.

Lol.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

True Faith podcast were backing Colback for a return, had to switch it off. They really shouldn't record so soon after a defeat.

Aye, usually don't mind Alex as he has decent patter and isn't an utter twat, but that statement was absurd. Because Colback apparently has "PL experience". Utter garbage.

They have a weird soft spot for Colback, otherwise they have decent opinions.

Aye.

[steve_69]

Selling him to a relegation rival would be f***ing daft.

 

Aye.

 

I guess that depends on who we can bring in to replace him. For example, if we sell Mitrovic and bring Sturridge in on loan, i'd say that's probably good business.

I am praying for Batshuayi on loan. Will improve us no end. I'll probably go as far as saying that if we got him we definitely won't go down.

[Skeletor]

Personally I'd be delighted if Colback was being offered to anyone who would take him.

West Ham would be the best place to sell him (from our perspective, not his) considering how shite strikers always turn out to be when they go there.

[TRon]

I don't know how anybody can compare Colback to Mitrovic. Mitro's scoring goals for Serbia so there's at least some reason to believe he could provide goals which we have struggled with. What would Colback bring us?

 

 

[alexjack]

I wonder what would Hart say to Mitrovic if he joins WHU... "Give me back my spine?"

The only similarity is that Rafa doesn't rate either so they might as well be sold.  The Mitrovic situation is sad for us fans because I think we'd all liked to have seen him do well, but if he hasn't started doing what Rafa wants him to do after a season and a half, I guess he deserves everything he gets.

TBH, Rafa never said why Mitrovic didn't play. It's always "gayle this, Joselu that" and never "Mitrovic doesn't this and that" which I think is annoying and frustrating. When asked why didn't he bring Mitrovic on the pitch, Rafa always says "It was moment for this or that" although sometimes it was obvious that it was moment for Mitrovic.
