Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 You hardly ever see him in those positions though as Gayle was today. That's my biggest issue with him, he's always either not switched on or just too slow in general to get onto balls. He really needs to be focal point within a team to get the best out of him, Fulham's style will suit him. For example, he'll do a nice layoff after controlling the ball, but then won't make the run to get into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He's 23, that will come. The goal he got in midweek was the sort of goal we accuse Mitrovic of never scoring and was similar to Gayle's two yesterday. Probably helps that he's arguably got a better supply line in Sessegnon and Cairney than he'd have here. He could prove the difference between Fulham pushing the Play-Offs and going on to finish second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my main criticism of him during his first season here, just didn't seem to have the striker's instinct to be in the right place at the right time that you get with someone like say, Charlie Austin. But maybe he's improving, his record for Serbia is decent tbf, and he seems to have had a decent start at Fulham, hopefully it will continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Shola scored 13 in the championship fwiw 10. League's better now than it was then anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Charlie Austin was playing for Poole Town at the age we were expecting Mitrovic to be our main striker. It'll come with age and it seems to be coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He'll get a chance next season regardless of what division we're in as Rafa will have most likely left before May is out. Looks like a good move right now for all involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think the suspicion for many has always been that he was left out for non-footballing reasons. He scored 9 goals in his debut Prem season at the age of 21, in a team that was relegated. Gayle and Joselu put together have 9 this season. He also has far more potential to improve than either of them because of his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Charlie Austin was playing for Poole Town at the age we were expecting Mitrovic to be our main striker. It'll come with age and it seems to be coming. When Vardy was the age Mitrovic is now, he'd just signed for Halifax. Didn't turn into a useful Premier League striker for another 5 years.

Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It's why I thought it ridiculous people writing him off. He's got flaws (fairly big flaws) but the way some went on it was as though he was the finished article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy was very average in the Championship for Leicester too, only became useful when they stumbled across a formation that worked for him.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 KI is unusually quiet. Do you want me to diarise everything he does even when I've got nowt to say beyond 'good goal' like I did last week like? Or pretend that there's a new debate to rehash yet over two performances and bore everyone in here senseless by being negative about him in a situation that's only been positive so far? It's been two good performances, great, I hope he keeps it up, but the insinuation that there's any kind of 'I told you so!' situation at play yet because I haven't posted, is so weak it's unreal, particularly as that's what I also want, ye nah, because I'm not 12 years old. You can repeat this whole weird crusading 'Where's KI?' 'Bet KI hates this' patter all you want, but it'll never make the insinuation that me being right is more important to me than the success or failure of a Newcastle player right, like.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 There’s the bite. He’s a far better option that Joselu, which you deny - Mitro’s 2 good performances (actually, he’s played well in 3 of his 3 starts, according to Fulham fans themselves) is far better than Joselu has mustered all season. Mitro continues to prove you wrong, his disgraceful discipline appears non-existant, he’s scoring goals and playing well. You’re the first to run around naked when he’s had a shit game in the past, yet appeared unwilling to come in here and discuss his good performances and goals. Hence why you were called out on it, calm down. He’ll go on to have a very good career, it’s a shame we’ve restricted ourselves and sent out best striker out on loan (minus Silmani, obviously).

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 You've made almost all of that up to give yourself an argument to 'call out' but you're right that I'm truly devastated by his two goals in two games in the Championship, in fact I'm not sure how I'll ever survive at being proven so wrong. Now I'm off to the Dwight Gayle thread to call everyone out after his two goals and one assist in two games in the Premier League, because as a pathetic wanker, that's my priority.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 So defensive. Not particularly necessary to call people names on the internet because they disagree with you, it’s a bit sad. Maybe this is why you win all of those negative awards every year and then cry off. ‘I’m not 12 years old’, then runs off and acts like a baby.

Incognito Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm a Mitrovic fan and I'd love him to be banging them in for us but Rafa needs to defend from the front and therefore Mitrovic's lack of mobility puts him behind even Joselu who obviously isn't anywhere near as good as Mitrovic as a striker, but has more worth to how we play. Especially with our limited squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of that is Mitro's fault, but it's the nature of playing in the top leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing in the Championship. 2. Darryl Murphy was more effective than him in said league last season. 3. Dwight Gayle's goals per game stats piss all over Mitro's. How is he our best striker?
