He was the player we needed. And given that Silva worked with forwards like that at Watford, I dont know why we weren't in for him. He'd have been a cult hero here by now, IMO.

I was one of the ones who laughed at Mitrovic back in the summer, but now I fully agree that he'd do well here.

Loved LD.

Think he´s very limited tbh. Alright when you´ve got a team penned on (how many times do we have that?) but utterly useless in the other aspects of the game.

Our fans go way OTT with how bad some players are.

When was the last time Tosun looked like scoring?

Some time last season?

I'd say they've been fair.

It´s the other way round if anything. We build them up on the back of a handful of games to be world beaters. Look at the start of this thread with how people thought this season would go for Tosun.

I don't think he's top quality but he is a lot better than what we have. He is what he is, basically a better version of Troy Deeney, but I think the fight and flashpoints he produces are what the Goodison atmosphere thrives on.

The loudest I heard Goodison last year, derby aside, was the Lyon game after fat Ashley launched the Lyon keeper into the stands. That was quickly stamped out with a dodgy goal 5 minutes later. The players being hostile on the pitch makes the fans follow suit and that is a good thing for us as long as it doesn't go too far.

I'd have to really disagree with that. He's incredibly passive as a player, nothing like Deeney who is a general pain in the backside and a handful to mark. Niasse is much more likely to get the crowd going as he chases everything and flings himself around. Tosun looks so lethargic every time he's on the pitch, he's the type of player that the crowd hates when we're behind because he slows things down when everyones trying to speed things up.

Do you think I'm on about Tosun?

Sorry mate I meant Mitrovic, I probably should've used his name in the post.

Nah Tosun is crap imo.

Ah my fault I should have read further back! In that case I totally agree.

Best thing our forever pointing captain did was to launch into CR7 really got the crowd going.

Against Leicester great ball put across the box. He's stood on his heels on the edge of the 6 yard box. Strikers instinct. He hasnt got it. Along with plenty of other attributes.

Mitrovic is aggressive and has decent movement. He was and is head and shoulders above any of our strikers.

Still, I was wrong to suggest him.....

 

[Bob Elstone]

Mitrovic is a massive yard dog.

Perfectly suited to Fulham or Newcastle.

So limited. Fans jumping on the bandwagon looking at this utter dross need their eyes tested.

A broken clock is right twice a day mate. Don't let the success go to your head, wouldn't want you to end up like Englands number 1.
