Happy Face 29 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 He'd have made a good second striker 15 years ago. Up front on his own in this team he looks a bit ponderous.  He's 21 though.  Shambles that he's been leading our line single handedly for most of 15/16 and expected to be a 20 goal a season man. Doesn't happen at any other top flight club.  Premier League top U21 goalscorers  Alli 6 Martial 5 Sterling 5 Mitrovic 4 Redmond 4 Watmore 2 Deulofeu 2 Ward-Prowse 2 Iheanacho 2  Think the experience will do him the world of good and with his strength and temperament he could be a handful for years to come.  Whether that's in the Premier league or for us is another matter.

I think any striker would struggle up front by themselves. He's still missed a few, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19720 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 it's was always asking a lot of a 21 year old kid new to the league, and the country, to score the goals needed to keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 297 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 fuck, just seen this injury report. There goes my Taylor and Mitrovic CB dream :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19720 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Fuck, this is shit news. Although he doesn't score many goals we have literally no other strikers that give us a focal point to the attack like he does. We could have done with his physical presence against Stoke.

Â He was driving Shawcross and Wollscheid (sp?) mental last time we played them, he'll be a big miss for this match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 He'll probably be on the bench. Was training today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Looks like it's Perez up top,I doubt Doumbia will start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Cisse is fit now, if there's no Mitrovic we have to play two forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Looks like it's Perez up top,I doubt Doumbia will start  Do they think Doumbia will be ready by May 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Doumbia was just a last ditch attempt of getting a striker in. Ferreyra esque. I don't think he's the answer to our problems tbh but I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Highest 'goals to minutes on the pitch' ratio in the squad this season  Same as Payet and Deeney  Why the fuck was Cisse started today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Definitely agree, think he's making a point about the value of experience. Bullshit transfer policy might get panned in the summer, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I think Rafa is doing the right things to be honest. He starts who he thinks could help the team most in the immediate game. We've all seen where Mitro or Ayoze Perez have scored this year only to walk and jog around the pitch the next few games. Â Steve Mclaren used the same players in the same positions in the same formations all year long and look where that got us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16474 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 When he came on his physical presence was dangerous (including a bulldozer for the 3 goal) against tired players. Coupled that with Perez I thought Rafa did right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
