[Albion] Mitoma vs Ali Mac

[A1X]

Probably the best two players I’ve seen in an Albion shirt, and I suspect that’s true for many others too. Something I never envisaged saying 18 months ago, however, given my love for the man…is Mitoma now ahead of MacAllister as a player for us? I really think he might be.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Difficult comparison both are literally world class

 

[Skaville]

Gross better than both

 

[Triggaaar]

Gross better than both

Gross was great for us. Scored some great goals, was incredibly versatile and a leader.

Alexis is a very skilful player but I think he had barely got to his peak when it was time to leave.

Mitoma is at his peak and I think he pips them both.

 

[Flounce]

Struggling to remember a player for any club who can bring a ball out of the air and kill it dead better than Mitoma. That one on the touchline yesterday was breathtaking, up there with the one he went on to score with against Chelsea.

I’m going for Mitoma, more exciting to watch imo

God that's a tough call for the Albion Mitoma is clear but I think Ali Mac will be regarded as the better player by history.

 

[seagull_special]

Mitoma is sublime, a simply wonderful player. I can’t even contemplate the day he leaves.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I might choose Caicedo ahead of all of them if I was entering an Albion players draft.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I know we’ve seen similar before but that take down on the West touch line last night? Absolutely world class.

The oohs and aahs and general noise of appreciation when he did that was superb.

He did similar at West Ham away in December too.

 

[Reddleman]

Mitoma is quite a way ahead in terms of what he has actually done for the Albion. Mac Allister was great but if we are honest the vast majority of his goals were penalties and he didn’t have that many assists. Mitoma is the most skilful player I have ever seen in an Albion shirt and scored two of the best goals we have ever scored and certainly at the top level.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Mitoma consistently make things happen from literally standing starts.
He creates chaos from nowhere, despite being double marked.
Very few players can do this.
Mac is a class below.

Why is Mitoma not starting. Why did he not come on at half time when we were 2-1 down

Nursing an injury

 

[BevBHA]

I genuinely don’t think it’s an overstatement to say Mitoma is the best left winger in the league… who is better than him?

 

[Da Man Clay]

Caicedo is the best. Only player I’ve ever seen who has been as good as having two players. Probably then Mitoma.

Get another year of Baleba and he probably goes to P1.

I thought this too. He did have a minor issue previously, so hopefully that's the reason and not wrapping him in cotton wool, pending sale.

Gonna mix it up a bit.

Whilst Mitoma has brilliant ball control, a footballing brain, a great turn, a cut inside etc etc…….almost everything, when attacking a defender down the wing he is so bloody predictable! You just know, as must the defender, that he is going to cut inside at some point, often with devastating effect. But why the hell can he not, just occasionally, get to the byline down the outside before popping it into the box? It would just add another option for the other team to worry about.

You mean that thing we've all seen him do countless times?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

We've had some terrific players over the last few years and I don't think you can easily compare a winger to a midfielder ....

That said, it has to be Mitoma hasn't it? Isn't the reason we go to football to see moments of breathtaking skill? What an athlete. What a footballer.

Kauru Mitoma in my view is the best player to ever play for us. I understand there were some good players in the dim and distant past, but they never got us as high for as long as the ones now. And Mitoma is the best of the last 5 years. Which makes him the best ever.
