Mitro,,enough..

Woolly Mammoth · August 17, 2021, 05:28:33 AM

Let us see what happens at Millwall tonight, it's a different challenge and a physical challenge and we need to be up for it because if we are not we will be outmuscled as Millwall will be looking to get in our faces as many many teams will be doing the same and our days of being a soft touch have to be firmly locked away. This is where Mitro can excel and give them something to think about, because believe me Millwall think we are a soft touch and too lightweight, so we have to make sure they do not spoil the party.

Talk about different discussions going at tangents here there and every where! For me:

Mitro - has been a great player for us in the past
Was poor last season
Cant play in a team looking to counter against PL teams
Will score goals for us this season
Doesnt cope too well with being on the bench

Is he good enough for a Premier league side capable of staying in the division? probably not.
Is he capable of being the championships top scorer again this season ? Absolutely.

I think he could play in a counter attacking role against prem teams..just not as the furthest player forward. In that style he'd be a player in the Bobby zamora mould, leading the line to hold the ball up and play in the faster attacking players. We've seen him do that countless times and his physicality at 26 could be competitive against a lot of premiership defenders if they were to try and man mark him.

I really couldn't disagree more. Who put Cavaleiro through for the fifth goal? Be very, very careful what you wish for ... this guy still can be potent & it appears that assistance in the forward line is on it's way.

In a top half PL (with better quality players)side he could maybe do that job ,but not in a side like we had last year.

Tonight against Millwall will be tough. With Wilson absent who is most likely to score for us, Mitro of course who else.

How do you figure that? Sounds like you're smitten with him.. he's played two games for us, has scored one, played 75 minutes of another without scoring and got a red card. After he got a red card the substitute scored 2 and three others got on the scoreboard. Don't get the most likely to score.

On evidence, albeit early this season, there are a lot of forward options who've proven they're just as likely to score.

As is often the case, you've pursued it to the extent that you miss the point you're trying to reply to.

My point is I'd rather not enter into discussion with you. Apologies for not making it clear.

When the season ends and Mitrovic has his 45 goals and 45 assists, come back to me.

Ditto.

Can we end this stupid Mitro argument now?

Lol. And at the GK's near post. What were people talking about. Wonder whether they'll be considered smart at end of season or the opposite. 2 goals in three games so far though.

Andyb · August 17, 2021, 07:57:18 PM

2 goals in 3 games, get him out he's awful 🤣🤣🤣

Well I guess Mitro silenced a few people

Bracken White · August 17, 2021, 10:05:37 PM

Mitro looked very much like his old self last night, forget the goal what was more pleasing was the work rate. The ground he covered, the closing down, the willingness to run wide was all there which is what you nee din a one up top formation. None of that we saw last year for a variety of reasons i guess. It is good to see the old Mitro back thats for sure, if he keeps that up there is a 20 goal + season coming in for him.

When I look at last season, and I like many on this board had a go at his lack of effort, there was obviously something going on (hence his alleged transfer requests), it takes 2 to make these things happen so am sure there is blame on both sides. However, thats gone and now he is back he seems to be the Mitro we all know he can be, long may it continue.

Agree, the body language and work rate was there. He was all over the pitch.
