Aleksandar Mitrović

[AsprillasShinPad]

Great finish for the goal, dogshit pel.  Classic Mitro - doesn't do simple and can't deliver the smooth without a large side of rough.

 

Don't miss him at all.  Entertaining bloke, but not good enough to lead a PL line.  Rondon is better.

[SEMTEX]

Rondon is also a West brom player and has missed a large portion of the season.

What's the fundamental difference between what Fulham have done and someone like Wolves? Just a less defensively-savvy manager?

 

Wolves seem to be run tremendously top to bottom.

 

Wolves have also mostly acquired players and training staff from Spain and Portugal which I think helped them settle down quicker.

[Serb]

Scored a good goal earlier for Serbia, and just now tried a panenka penalty and put it over

 

Respectable football commentator from Serbia reported the talk in the dressing room after the game:

 

Mitro: "Why was I attempting to be an artist, I just had to bang it in, no brainer. I'm just not an artist, never have been one."

 

Teammate: "Yeah, true, you ain't."

Amazed Mitro has the level of conscious to even self-reflect tbh

They also have a questionable relationship with Jorge Mendes which explains them punching well above their weight in the transfer market.

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

7 goals in a team that's second bottom of the league, imagine if they hit some form, golden boot material.

[sh74]

Top scorer in the nations league as well.

[Guest]

14 goals in the Premier League when he hasn’t been managed by McClaren at a goal every 135 minutes.

[Dave]

Ace today by the looks of this.

[Dave]

Ranieri reckons he's one of the best strikers in Europe.

[NEEJ]

Both goals were superb for very different reasons, like. First goal was a cracking team move and that second is a very satisfying finish.

[Conjo]

Ranieri reckons he's one of the best strikers in Europe.

 

Hard to argue that he isn't at the moment.

Better Shot/Goal ratio than Aguero this season, which is remarkable given the teams they play for.

Player in does better at different club shocker. Maybe Fulham just suits him better and he's clearly doing much better there. It was never going to happen for him under Rafa, his attitude and poor displays confirmed that. I've never been a fan and don't get the constant analysis of him now he's left though.

[Guest]

Looked nowt wrong with his mobility and positioning sense for that first goal.

He was a young, good-standard Premier League striker with huge potential who just simply didn't fit into Rafa's system, and if you exclude the McClaren time when he was a 20 year old leading the line of Newcastle United on his own, adapting to a new country, his goalscoring record is very good. In the short-term it may well have been right to move him on for that reason, but in the long-term the probability is we'll end up regretting just selling him for £22m.

 

Plus he was a radge bastard, some people love that, some don't. He massively splits opinion, hence why people will constantly discuss. The fact that he's openly been an NUFC fan since he was a kid also generates interest too. It's only the people who were "never a fan" that can't see why, as they never gave him a proper chance.

Agreed, but the defending was horrendous as well.

[Guest covmag]

Rafa fucked up, there i said it.

[huss9]

Rafa fucked up, there i said it.

 

we got a decent fee though that he probably thought he could reinvest.

i think the bigger fuck up was mbabu for peanuts.

still love rafa though, neebody's perfect.

[triggs]

Hadn’t scored in 10 hours before yesterday tbf

[xLiaaamx]

Mbabu is a horrendous decision like. There was no need to make it that early either.

he won't get everything right but he isn't bomb proof and on this he got it wrong....and yes i still love him 

[Away Day Gadgie]

Wasn’t Mbabu supposed to partying in his flat in Jesmond all the time?  I’m sure i read something from a local journalist that suggested something like that.  Probably not much of an issue if he was fit all the time but he had a poor injury record.  Rafa probably thought he was taking the piss.

It’s a decent fee in the same way £12m for Milner seemed a ‘decent fee’ and wasn’t correctly replaced. Truth is, he’ll go on to far bigger things. Can see him at Chelsea in the next couple of years for at least double what we got.
