I would never have sold him.
We could have done with him in recent seasons. Not sure why Rafa didn't rate/get along with Mitro, but I think it cost us in results. Yes, he was always capable of getting over aggressive on the pitch, but he knows how to score goals and he gives defences a hard time. Same with Toney. Yet we somehow ended up with Gayle, Rondon and Muto instead.

Think it was he didn’t run and back track enough and cover ground etc

Rafa failed imo on this one to see the bigger picture and the need for a goalscorer.

It'll be interesting to see how West Ham get on here. They've been a surprisingly crap team the 1st half of the season, but perhaps they're getting going again?

Chelsea winning already and with over 80% possession (away from home).

Not sure what West Ham's strategy is here.
