AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Fair enough, I don't disagree really. Personally I would've backed Mitrovic even though he was missing a few chances, but it's easy for a fan to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The issue with mitrovic is that we will never stretch teams with him playing due to his complete lack of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The issue with mitrovic is that we will never stretch teams with him playing due to his complete lack of pace. you would if you had the sense to sign and play a pacey small player off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The problem with Mitrovic is he misses so many easy chances. There is no system that will work with this lot, we can't create chances, and when we do we don't have the quality to finish them. Sick of us getting into a good position, then putting a shit cross in, or we do put a good cross in and we lack the decent finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I wonder how many times McClaren missed a trick by failing to build on momentum and not changing a promising or winning side. West Ham game sticks out to me like a sore thumb, when the whole team actually looked great but we dropped and chopped and changed the side at Watford as if we were playing fucking Barcelona. And he kept doing that throughout his tenure. Momentum, as we've seen with Leicester, is huge for confidence, especially in average to shit players (i.e. our entire team).

Exactly. Some of the fastest attacks in PL history have included a frontman with no pace - us under Bobby being a good example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I still think our best front two are Perez and Mitrovic so how about Darlow Lacelles, Taylor, Mbemba Janmat, Shelvey, Saviet, Sissoko, Townsend Mitrovic, Perez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitrovic and Cisse up front is clearly our best chance of scoring goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mitrovic and Cisse up front is clearly our best chance of scoring goals That's what I would have thought just because Cisse is the type of striker who would actually be sniffing for any lay offs from Mitrovic. Perez usually ends up playing further back so that leaves no one to actually get on the end of the chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think the main reason Mitro has played well the last two games is because Cisse has been on the pitch, he may have done fuck all, but just by being there defenders are wary of him, and that allows Mitro to have more time and space.

Away Toon Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yes but Rafa is a modern manager like McClaren, Pardew and Mourinho, 1 striker only, until it's all gone to shit and we are chasing the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Being lined up to take the Spain job after the euros if todays media world is to be believed. Probably the perfect job for him, hope for the sake of this club that we have a clause that if we stay up he stays I'd be willing to call him King Rafa if he keeps us up now. A near impossible job.

Mattoon Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Also according to today's media he's decided to choose his starting line-ups based on age, the older, the better (Nothing like Johnson).

wacko Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 There isn't a single system or set of personnel in any area of the team that is proven to be able to function competently for even two consecutive games. There isn't any bizarre team selection going on. Just a bloke trying to reshuffle the deckchairs on the Titanic and only just realising that every single chair has something fundamentally wrong with it. Could be. I haven't followed Rafa closely since he left LFC, but he was always a sucker (to the point of fault) for player rotation when he was with us. He rarely played the same side two games in a row, and we had a fair amount of shite in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickMack Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Ed Harrison thinks he's certain to leave. Never clicking on his site ever again. All the titles of his articles usually finish with "... here's why". I noticed he started doing that on nearly every article since about 2 years ago, total trend setter. Lee Ryder has now started doing that with his. Sorry, totally irrelevant, just been irking me. Plus i couldnt find the Ed Harrison thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
