I know Rafa is supposed to like his strikers mobile, based on Fernando Torres I wouldn't disagree.

 

But if Rafa doesn't like a strong CF then why did he loan out our only other mobile striker and buy another big guy?

 

Yeah Armstrong needed games for his development, so it was right for him to go on loan, but why replace him with a target man.

 

My conclusion would be that, yes Rafa likes to play with a mobile striker, but has a penchant for bringing on a target man to hold things up in the last 15. To preserve a lead.

 

I doubt Mitro will be happy with that role. That is maybe reflected in his most recent performances.

 

Tis a shame coz I loves me some Mitro.

I'm sure there's reasons like. He obviously wants to start every game so I cannot see how it would benefit him to saunter about when given a chance. Only really Blackburn (which I never saw but going off reports) where I think he's started and hasn't got himself involved though this season.

 

I'm seem to remember him coming on at villa and having a half hearted attempt at getting to the ball or making a tackle just before they scored? I just can't see the guy featuring in a Benitez team playing at a high level.

The ball came to him in to feet and he tried some kind of backheel which went straight to a Villa player and then they scored from that attack

 

They scored from a corner didn't they?

Pardew will probably get the sack before he's allowed funds to buy another striker. Now I'm in two minds. I don't want to lose Mitro to Palace and at the same time I want the Palace fan torment to grind on for another year or so.

Probably, you are generally good with facts. If so, the corner came from Mitro losing the ball. Not like the goal was entirely his fault or anything, it was just poor play

Funny how most on here seemed to be happy to have him rotated or as backup to Gayle when he was out injured and Mitro scored a couple of braces and did very well overall. After the Blackburn game where Mitro and everyone else was shit he's suddenly gotten a lot worse despite not playing many minutes. Might not be Rafas typical kind of striker, or your favorite kind, but it's ridiculous how some of you talk about him now as if he was absolutely shit suddenly.

Still not sure how people can write off a bloke so quickly who scored 9 goals in 34 matches at the age of 21 in his first season in the Premier League.  Is he as good as I hoped?  No.  He's clearly not crap though.

He's not shit at all but if he's not getting much game time in the championship have to question if he will have a role in premier league. I agree he has done well and think he does have the talent, doubt he'll want to stay on bench for much longer though.

Long term you have to question whether Rafa favours a striker of his type or prefers pace up front. It's a shame for Mitro as he was desperate to succeed here, but I have to say I wouldn't argue with Rafa's preferred set up. Not because he's some Messiah who can't be questioned, because having seen his Liverpool side with Torres leading the line it's hard to argue against it.

Did he play 1 up top at Madrid?

Pick your toys up and calm down, nobody said he is absolutely shit. I think some (like me) just don't get the hype.

Reading the comments on Mitrovic, some saying he's been wank this season.

 

Id say i was expecting huge things from Ayoze Perez in this league, hes been totally below average.

 

Worse than Mitro imo.

 

I took the wank comment back, but totally agree about Perez.

I'm as calm as ever you space helmet :lol: . I didn't mean that you people literally say/think that he's absolutely shit. It's just that now out of nowhere it sounds like he's got much worse despite not playing at all (Blackburn aside where everyone was shit). As if he's just had 3 bad games in a row and and is now lower rated than ever by many one here. Rafa plays one striker and that one has been Gayle, and rightly so. Where's the hype? You think it's hype because some on here rate this young player and think he can do a good job for us, while also admitting he's got his weaknesses as well? He's done well for us more or less every time he's started this season. No one thinks he's a world beater or anything, that would be "hyped".
