gazza ladra Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Rafa said he's injured So Mitrovic has to make the bench now right? Well, probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Massive shame that injuries have had such an effect on this lad. Looked unstoppable last season (yes in the Championship, I know), but looks the complete opposite now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Heartbreaking to see tbh, I had hopes for him after last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I’m not heartbroken. He earns plenty of money regardless. Heartbreaking, right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 should have sold him in the summer and got shola back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Could this condition be career ending? Don’t see how anyone could buy him at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Could this condition be career ending? Don’t see how anyone could buy him at the moment. Every Championship club would take him in a second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He looks like an absolute shadow of the player of last season, like. At the moment he buzzes about and doesn't touch the ball, like Lovenkrands basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I feel what is more worrying is Gayle is both mentally and physically hamstrung, yet still gets picked ahead of our local Serb. Are we gonna be stuck with both, not able to raise interest due to an injury and a lack of trust, respectively? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He won't be ahead of Mitrovic now. He'll be out for a while, most likely. If Mitrovic doesn't get suspended he'll stay in the 18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would personally rather keep Mitrovic though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 What on earth is going on with Dwight? Is it now just a lack of match fitness plus self-belief? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I’m not heartbroken. He earns plenty of money regardless. Heartbreaking, right. Why would you not feel for someone if their short career is shortened further? Oh! Because they get paid a lot of money. Makes sense if you’re bitter or jealous, but doesn’t make sense if you have any empathy for someone who has always been a footballer, has had exceptional talent, has done great things for your club, and may be facing the horror of not being able to use his talent; be let down by his body. It is/would be tragic for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think ‘heart broken’ is a bit strong. There is devastating news around the world that you hear about on an hourly basis. A pro footballer struggling with an injury and for a bit of form isn’t really heart breaking TBH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've always thought Gayle was good enough for the PL but I don't know if he can recover from that injury last season. fwiw, here's some great analysis about how strikers at promoted clubs fare in the next season. It's very rare for them to thrive, with Andy Carroll being the best example. Based on 32 players, the calculated drop in goals is 40%, which would make Gayle still useful in the PL if he can get fit. https://experimental361.com/2017/07/15/how-do-goalscorers-fare-after-their-team-is-promoted/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He’s just unfit isn’t he? Don’t think we need loads of analysis, the guy can’t run. Yup. He's just been unlucky in 2017 with injuries and because of it has lost confidence in his body. Very similar to Sturridge. Could get over it next time he returns, could plague him for years but its not uncommon and he certainly isn't finished. Not yet, anyway. More worrying for him is that he doesn't fit Rafa's style, Joselu does. Wonder if Gayle could drop back in to the 10 role or go out wide while he regains fitness and form?

mighty__mag Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He bulked up in the summer, this has contributed to him slowing down. Plus the levels of fitness th CBs and fullbacks in the premiership are at is another level. Most have no fat on them whatsoever. As a striker in this league you are really up against it.
