[Albion] Mercurial, majestic, magnificent Mitoma [20/10/23: New deal signed]

[TugWilson]

I thought he looked magic. Get him in the team.

I'm not convinced he's a wing back, i'd have him instead of Lallana in a wide left attacking position. Imagine the linking up he could do with Trossard on that side

What about Colwill with Mitoma further forward,he seems the the sort of player you give a free reign to ?

Lallana doesn’t play wide left ?

 

[faoileán]

Very pleasing cameo. Pacy, skillful and direct, he offers us a real threat off the bench if that's his base level.

I'll be sporting my Brighton gear round Tokyo proudly.

I thought he looked fantastic in his short cameo today...

 

[LamieRobertson]

Left Trippier for dead…..pity about Pascals finish, but after last week I’m inclined to forgive him

They don't play in the same position, but Lallana was very advanced today. I think we should retain Lallana, just less far forward. I'm advocating something like this

----------------Sanchez
-------Veltman Dunk Webster
March Caicedo Lallana Trossard
---------Gross --------Mitoma
----------------Welbeck

Gross and March linking in plenty, Mitoma and Trossard linking in plenty.

Prefer to have the holding CDM with a back 3 personally…….

It’d be pretty risky not to tbf.

Saw one or two Mitoma shirts in the North. It's probably a far bigger deal in Japan than we currently realise.

Interesting that you say that, because I went into the club shop (Churchill Square) Thursday and when I asked which named shirts were the most popular, I was told "We've sold lots of Mitoma ones!!"

 

[Beach Hut]

This guy is the new Tros in the making

 

[swindonseagull]

Indeed had a Japanese fella next to me and another was in front of me both enjoyed themselves.

Spoke to 4 guys and 3 girls outside the East....all Japanese students in UK and all wearing Mitoma shirts...

 

[Mackenzie]

He looked really good when he came on, I think he’s going to be great.

That’s where all the shirts have gone

 

[Bakero]

I didn't do an exact head count but reckon I saw about 243 Japanese people today.

The couple of lads in my row seemed to making a vlog.

 

[A1X]

There was also at least one shout out for someone visiting from Japan in Richie’s half-time parish notices I noticed

This. He seemed to slot in as if he'd played the whole match. Very impressive.

Saw one or two Mitoma shirts in the North. It's probably a far bigger deal in Japan than we currently realise. Without wanting to go unduly overboard, it's looking like a win-win for all concerned if he's going to make that kind of impact on a regular basis. How good would THAT be?

I was working east lower before the game and there were loads of Japanese fans in Mitoma shirts today.

Leaving out Mac Allister is questionable in my books, especially after such a combative display yesterday.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

That was some home debut. There’s a player to get us off our seats. Good times ahead.

Asking a lot of Caceido there, I know he’s good but give the lad a break.
Also personally I would have Lamptey over March every day of the week.
