The role mitrovic is trying to play here as the lone striker, he is completely unsuitable for.

 

He's doing alright, man.  He's playing as a target man.

 

It's not the target man role though, if you play that you always have a striker along side the target man.

 

No you don't.....

I mean, there have been occasions where the ball is played into his body, and he's been fine at laying it off for oncoming midfielders. But yes, it would be preferable to have an extra man there up with him. Or have Diame waiting in a more offensive position.

 

But yes, when he's on the shoulder of the last man waiting for the through-ball, you know it's not going to result in anything worthwhile.
