magorific Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Been surprised that Rafa has used Mitro ahead of Murphy in recent weeks. I'd be sorely tempted to start Murphy away from home in the crunch games coming up. Better at holding the ball up - and a better finisher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm somewhat interested in seeing Gouffran up top tbh, he's more mobile than the other options. This is doubtless partly influenced by my absolute hatred of watching him try to play out wide. Atsu left and Gouffran up top is as good as Gouffran left and any of the striking options IMO.

Greg Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Would like to see Perez given a go up top on Saturday. :lol: He's far more suited to the style of how the team plays, he's not an out an out striker but more than capable of paying that role on the shoulder and has done so for us before. Far more suited to how Shelvey has been playing this season for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Shame we can't still loan players or it might have been worth a cheeky loan bid for Rooney now he seemingly wants out of Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 A striker who is pretty quick off the mark. Hamstring injury. Whose game is reliant on his darting, timed runs off the ball. Winter - shithouse time of the year to pick up a hamstring injury. Get used to seeing him not rack up too many more mins, this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Part and parcel of the game. Mitrovic and/or Murphy needs to convert the chances we're inevitably going to create for the next month. If they step up then we go up. Cutting out the daft mistakes at the back wouldn't go amiss either like. It's in our hands and if we f*** it up then we've no-one to blame but ourselves. If we f*** it up we won't be good enough and the losses already accrued will be to blame - esp the home games... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Time for Mitro, Murphy and Ayoze to step up now. Personally, I think Murphy is a better finisher than the other two and maybe we should have him playing in those 3 big games as we might have fewer chances to score in those games. Don't want Mitro or Ayoze squandering them. But I do admire Mitro's hold up and linking play. There was no guarantees we would win those 3 games even with Gayle. Having him back for the run-in against sides we're expected to beat is still ok if it meant he'd stay fit for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have defended him for while as I love the mad bastard but whilst he has had the odd game since we signed him where he has been very good he'll never do it anywhere near enough.

Hate to be the bearer of such bad news at such an important point in the season. But thems the facts as we know it. Match winner v Wolves, and changed the game on Monday v Villa. I don't think he's done too badly the last few weeks, playing in a side that doesn't suit his style of play. He's certainly not "shit". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Our backups need to get the job done, and as long as our defensive unit doesn't have any howlers I fully expect us to draw or win each of these tough matches away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with Mitro and Perez IMO, they might not score, but should create opportunities for other players. Murphy and Diame are always there off the bench.
