Optimistic Nut Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I feel really sorry for him, actually. Clearly a good player and has a really decent touch, shields the ball well... all of it in the centre circle because of how woefully set up we are. Poor cunt would probably have more fun back in the favelas cos playing up top for us under Bruce looks fucking awful. Yep. Rondon would be shite in this set up.

huss9 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 where is the evidence he is any good. cant win a header, cant hold up the ball, cant pass, cant score with the easiest of headers. i know he's playing amongst shit and has no service but why do people keep saying he's obviously got something about him?

hakka Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don't really think this lad can take too much criticism, he's so badly starved of service in front of goal. The most of time I've watched him on the ball has been on the halfway line linking up play. He's in a side that's setup terribly, coached by a moron without a plan in Bruce. It's not the same as when Rafa was giving games to Mitrovic and he was missing sitter after sitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 he shoudnt take much criticism, thats true. but still havent seen enough of him to say he has something about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his hold up play is quite good. It's the fact we can't get him anywhere near the box which is frustrating. Can barely remember him having a shot this season except for his goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his hold up play is quite good. It's the fact we can't get him anywhere near the box which is frustrating. Can barely remember him having a shot this season except for his goal and those 2 headers that he had under no pressure, 6 yards out, in front of goal. neither even came close to the target.

He's going to get slaughtered by the likes of Souness though, and he looks like he might be getting a bit sick of it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yep. The likes of Stelling on Twitter tonight trying to defend Bruce by saying Rafa has Rondon up front. Well so too did Pulis & Pardew and he found himself in the same situation as Joelinton now. Carroll came on today for him and there was no difference either.

samptime29 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He seems more of a 2nd striker. Secure Rondon, and play Joelinton off him and he'd look better. Just a stupid club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Stinks of Mitro in his season under McClown. As it was always going to be. Does a bit. Sign foreign, expensive, undeveloped forward > watch him fail. Replace him with proven, experienced forward to build the team around > watch him succeed.

STM Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 He only plays deeper because he has no coach telling him to stay in between their centre backs and more importantly, no midfielders giving him the ball in that position. Classic case of a striker dropping deeper because hes getting no service, then being isolated in the middle of the pitch and losing confidence in the process.

Yorkie Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Didn't realise 2nd striker mean't they need to be small. I was being facetious and suggesting a PFM like Bruce sees a tall striker and assumes his only position can be alone up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Totally bemuses me how anyone with a brain thought this was going to work out. He can be as good as he wants but you are NEVER going to recoup £40m for a relegated striker, especially not when he's playing in a system and team as poor as we have.

Taylor Swift Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Stinks of Mitro in his season under McClown. As it was always going to be. Mitrovic is better. Joelinton would have been a good partner for Rondon. He has a good touch, moves well. Leading the line is not his game right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I think Joelinton is better personally, has much more mobility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
