xLiaaamx Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Daryl Murphy would have got 20+ goals if he'd started every week last season in our team. He'd also have been a better option than Joselu this season. Hate it when people try to make points using Murphy like he was shit. Give Daryl the respect he deserves.

Pilko Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Mitro bags a couple in the Championship = Mitro fit for purpose as first choice NUFC striker in the PL http://wp.production.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/files/2014/01/StrawMan2.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus 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. I completely made that number up tbh glad I wasn’t far off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The Mitro-moaners said he wasn’t good enough to get goals in the Championship. So now that he is doing so with relative ease it can’t be ‘only the championship’ now. Can’t have it both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It's literally been a couple of games We know he has some talent but consistency, whether mentality of performance, has always been his issue here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He’s average like, but he’s miles fucking better than Joselu and I don’t see why he’s never really been given a chance unde Rafa other than for discipline issues, but Shelvey gets a chance. Him out on loan scoring and us with an injured loan striker... hmm! Rafa’s excuses why he didn’t play him much at a recent talk in was contradictory as well.

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 s*** 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). 1. 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? 1. The Mitro-moaners said he wasn’t good enough to get goals in the Championship. So now that he is doing so with relative ease it can’t be ‘only the championship’ now. Can’t have it both ways. 2. Daryl Murphy was also given more opportunities. 3. His goals per minute ratio in the Premier League doesn’t though. Which makes a bit of a mockery of your first point.

Serb Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 He ain't coming back. “I think Fulham needs me and I need Fulham, we both need each other and I’m really happy.” “At Newcastle, the team there played a compact shape and mostly counter attacked, so this is not where I am strongest.” “This is the style that Rafa played and I have to accept this, but here I have adapted really fast because we play attacking football with a lot of crosses and balls into the box and around it too.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It's pretty simple. If Rafa didn't have any integrity, Mitrovic would have been ahead of Joselu this season. Mitrovic was/is not being left out due to on pitch discipline issues. He is being left out due to lacklusture attitude to training between games. Whether that ends up hurting us in the end is left to see, but I believe Rafa has made the right choice in showing all the other players that what they do in training is rewarded. Even if we had better results short term, the attitude that it doesn't really matter what you do in traning as long as you are the better player will most likely have worse long term effect. I struggle to see how anyone can justify Joselu being a better player than Mitrovic, but I also struggle to see how anyone can be advocating using Mitro ahead of Joselu based on the information we have.

He'll be a good striker when played in the right system and given his age he'll likely only improve. Depending on what happens with Rafa at the end of the season he still might have a future here.

Infinitely Content Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Good words from Mitro, glad he's feeling at home there. He seems to have had the same effect on the Fulham supporters as he had here when he arrived, and it's a massive credit to the guy's attitude and want to do well not to mention ability.

Dinho lad Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yep, credit is certainly deserved. However, his "assist" for the first, he should have scored that. His goal, Elliot would have been blamed for that goalkeeping. Nonetheless, credit where it's due. I hope he'll come back a more valuable player to us, as it's clear he will be sold in the summer.

joeyt Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 He should have scored the 'assist'?

I still need to be convinced he's going to be a success at premier level regardless of what style is played. He's young and can still improve, but then again, he might not. I want him to do well though, so long may it continue. Even if he's not here, we'll get a much better price for him if he's doing well somewhere else.

And the reason we have to play so compact and rely so heavily on counter attacking play is because of the overall lack of quality in the team. Thanks Mike.
