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

Video not available in the UK

With the help of a VPN server in Japan, I can tell you it's just a couple of clips from the Chelsea game of Mitoma receiving a long ball from March and one from Sanchez, getting the ball under control perfectly first touch.

A highlights video with some nice clips from Mitoma's USG days which I have never seen before.

Really like the clip starting at 6:50, the 'keeper stood their with his hands in the air wondering how the ball got past him.

 

[Mt.Fuji]

Somehow FA Cup Official like Mitoma.

 

[shibainu]

It's getting to the point that the FA Cup official is making too much Mitoma content

 

[Bakero]

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That is one very special talent

 

[GrossTurn]

His dribbling style is an absolute gift for the video compilation makers.

 

[brighton_tom]

What’s great about Mitoma is his willingness to improve. He’s mentioned about about his annoyance at not scoring more goals in the last 10 games, and wanting to do better next season.

 

[veuve]

Great player, special talent.

 

[Milano]

Should be a priority for the club to get him to sign a new contract ASAP

 

[Hiheidi]

Preferably without a release clause in it

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I know we're absolutely spoilt for choice nowadays, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a greater talent in the stripes - or anywhere else for that matter - in his position ever. Generational level of talent right there. Just wait til the Japanese public get fully on board. It'll be George Best meets The Beatles = the Far East's first ever Footballing GOD!

 

[sydney]

i do remember saying a few years ago now that we should look to japan and korea for talent ....lo and behold this fella materialises.........bish bosh bash...

Amazing season but found it interesting he struggled against english RB towards end of season , Walker , Wan Bissaka , Trippier ( and didnt James come on 2nd half for chelsea and shut him down )

Suspect an element of him being absolutely shattered and us having no alternative played a big part. Teams knew we weren't going to be hitting March so could cut off the space for Mitoma a lot more.

With March back and hopefully competition from Adringa (and maybe Pedro) we should be in a much better place next year. Especially if Mitoma gets an early goal to end his goal drought.

Incredible player

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, I think that having a viable alternative in Adingra will mean that Mitoma stays fresher. Can play 70 minutes of a game or occasionally the last 30 as a sub.

Nationality aside, those are 3 (4) excellent players, to be fair.

So in his first season in the Prem, Mitoma struggled against three England International right backs and the fastest in this league. Clearly we need to get rid!

Also was getting massively doubled up.om towards the end of the season so it was getting g harder and harder to work him on to one on one's. He was almost a decoy player for a bit.

Agreed, although I'd add that Enciso is good on the left as well as the centre (though not on the right for me)
