[Albion] Kaoru Mitoma [27/2/24 - possibly out for the rest of the season]

[Nobby Cybergoat]

He should switch over the the right sometimes. He'd win us a load of corners just getting to the byline

Yes. But what would be the point of that with our corners??

Looked pissed in the first half.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Mitoma has studied dribbling; who knew?!

Unfortunately I think Clyne read his thesis before tonight's game.

Worried we won't see him now for a few months

 

[El Turi]

He just looks knackered to me as we have relied on him a lot this season to try create things. He’ll be fine once he’s had a little rest.

 

[zefarelly]

In the best possible way, I hope it's a light injury and he gets a months rest

 

[TottonSeagull]

He's been pony for weeks now!

He's been pony for weeks now!

This, this and this.

He actually has
He has contributed very little

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

As much as I love him, as much as his goal at Wolves was incredible, as much as he raises our profile and merch sales in Asia, as much as I LOVE that he’s studied dribbling….,

He only has one foot. He’s massively scared of making a mistake with his left foot. And everyone’s worked it out.

I take your point, but don’t entirely agree

I said on another thread a couple of weeks ago, that for me he comes inside far too much and has become predictable. He needs to start going outside more, which will put doubt in defenders mind, he’ll then get more space.

 

[martin tyler]

Without an overlapping full back making space he is doubled up on far more easily. Those runs pervis makes create so much space and not just for Mitoma but the whole attack.

At least he misses Asia cup

This.

Mitoma is finding himself isolated against two defenders far more often. He needs the overlap to get the 1-1 opportunities where he can be high impact.

I also think he’s being asked to play slightly differently as he’s not got the players he once had behind him or Solly on the other wing taking lots of the pressure off

 

[Right Back]

He really misses having Estupinan behind him. When they are back together you will see the old Mitoma.

 

[Deadly Danson]

At least he misses Asia cup

I think this is a real bonus. Hopefully enough of an injury to keep him out of the Asia Cup and give him a well earned rest but not bad enough to keep him out for more than a few weeks.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Just shown leaving the ground on crutches in a protective boot. Hopefully precautionary…

 

[Sheebo]

Can’t argue with that. Needs a rest.

 

[oldboyroy]

Chris Sutton on BBC website saying Mitoma out injured, anyone else heard anything on this.

He is now.
