What can us Fulham fans expect with the loan signing of mitrovic? I am hoping he will want to play for out manager a another Serb, is he quick ? I know he is a hothead
You’ll get a mixed review from most on Mitro. For me he’s a young old fashioned centre forward with promise. Not fast but not slow. Plays better with a small, nippy striker beside him and is happy to be physical but sometimes to physical and too passionate which side tracks him from actually playing football. He will score goals not a sackful but a good, decent number in the Championship and is good in the air and reasonable with his feet. He is a player who needs a run of games and needs to be wanted which unfortunately he didn’t get here as Rafa probably thinks he’s too risky because of temperament and the style of play we play doesn’t suit Mitro ie one up front. Play too his strengths and he should do well for you.
We play one up front, but with out attacking style it’s looks like we have 6 attackers all pushing forward, I think he can fit in, and hoping our Serbian manager gets the best out of him
He's madder than a march hare but i really liked him. More than any other player in recent years i desperately wanted him to do well, i still hold out hope that he can get another chance here if he performs well for you. Really good in the air and the ball sticks.
He tries to chest the ball when he should head it. Has square feet. But if you leave him out of the team he'll be better than Ronaldo in May
Rafa wants his players to fit into his way of playing and Mitro couldn't do what he wanted him to do. Build your team/play around his strengths and I think he'll do pretty well at that level. He's not the quickest and he's missed some sitters during his time here but he has got into positions to score which is alway encouraging - you know you've got a problem if a striker isn't getting the chances and that's not really been true of Mitrovic when he's played. He can be decent on the ball also and isn't the lummox and one trick pony that some make him out to be. And, yeah, he's a bit of a nutter, but in a 'he'll give his all' kind of way, at least most of the time (there is a little bit of the devil in his challenges some times). He's also a handful for defenders if the ball is launched up the field rather than on the deck.
Hope he knuckles down and tries. He wasn't used much by Rafa when we were in the Championship, so it was hardly likely he'd play much in the Prem. To me it's a risk playing him, as he tends to be a suspension risk from smacking other players. Last season's FA cup defeat to mighty Oxford with Mitro missing everything given to him cemented my opinion of him that he's just not very good. For a Serb boss, he might really rock. Good luck with him.
Given a run of games and him keeping his head, he will get you a lot of goals and create a lot of space for others. Just unfortunate that our manager didn’t fancy him. If someone gives him a chance he will do very well. Just needs to be managed better in my opinion. But some of it has to come from him too.
He was going to sign on loan for Anderlecht (Belgian club), flew over, had a medical, then it fell through when Anderlecht didn't sell a player they were using to fund the loan deal. So Fulham was a last minute alternative.
He played 35 minutes today and didn’t get sent off. Wtf. Apparently he ripped someone’s head off when they scored though. Nice to see colback having a big contribution to Forrest’s defeat. Ha ha ha
Imagine Mitro and Colbacl contributing to the Mackems relegation? A master stroke by Rafa if it happens..
Fulham are their last away game before Wolves at home on the last day of the season. Mate is a Fulham season ticket holder - might have to pop along.....
