alexjack Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 0 shots 2 duels won out of 9 I really hope he scores next game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Really can’t see how anyone could come to the conclusion he ‘makes us better’ like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexumaster Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd be giving Mitro a chance now. Or at least change it at 50 minutes if we're losing at Burnley and aren't looking like coming up with a reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 He's contributed to us being 6th. Yes, he's certainly not a long term answer, but what are people expecting with such signing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Really can’t see how anyone could come to the conclusion he ‘makes us better’ like. Better than the alternatives. He and Perez desperately need replacing though, that goes without saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Could he play in the Perez withdrawn striker role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Could he play in the Perez withdrawn striker role? I suppose, in the same way you could play Jamaal Lascelles in the withdrawn striker role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I hope he gets a rest from the starting job against Burnley, I doubt it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Could he play in the Perez withdrawn striker role? I suppose, in the same way you could play Jamaal Lascelles in the withdrawn striker role. Jamaal would stand his ground and not get pushed about. Joselu would be even weaker than Ayoze in that hole.

steve_69 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't know what it is about Joselu, but i really like the guy. I just wish he wasn't so crap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 He's been poor the last few games, at the start he was getting involved so he was of some value BUT he has been anonymous for me, not even getting those chances he was missing I would definitely look to be starting Mitro the next few games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 As someone who's been on Mitro's case (100% rightly ) I'd start Mitro until we sign a new striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Got an element of sympathy for Joselu and Perez facing that Palace side made up of mostly holding midfielders. Was a properly negative tactical setup by them, to our credit that we dug out the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Wasn't he supposed to be decent in the air? He's obviously low on confidence and isn't getting great service but he just poses so little threat. I'm ready to give him the next game against Burnley but anything more than that can barely be justified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had that one great header against Swansea, that was incredibly saved but outside that I've never seen him use his head at all in our colours.

steve_69 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think he came here short of confidence, scored a couple and looked to be growing and then I think the Stoke game did him in again. He seems to have shrunk since then. I know he scored against Liverpool but he very nearly didn't and if he's questioning himself, he probably won't back on that positively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready to give him the next game against Burnley but anything more than that can barely be justified. He really does seem to lack confidence. The goal against Liverpool was a real bumbling effort and it was a pure fluke he scored it in the end. I'd prefer Mitro just based on mentality tbh.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I just think he's shite at the role he has to play tbh. It goes for just about every striker that they're better with great support, but Joselu massively suffers without it from what we've seen. First 2 games or so he played he looked perfect for us but he seems to be getting further and further away from the rest of the team as the weeks have went on (not necessarily literally, but it feels like it). He's been completely anonymous since Stoke but there's definitely a handy player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Had more touches than Ayoze apparently. I can barely remember him getting it once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 His defencive header from that CP corner could have saved the game for us and allowed us to get the three points. I think he is an intelligent player has good movement but lacks confidence. For Rafa's system to work really well you need a Torres, someone who can score goals out of nothing. I think when Amanda is finished with me she will address that problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Might has well have kept the Gouff on current evidence, he could score thunderbastards and pop up in defence now and then too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
