Felt a bit sorry for him. Loved him when he was here, and with 50 in the bank for his services we can’t complain. Trossard’s upgrade has done him time and time again. Feel a bit sorry for Trossard as well………

Whilst it was great to see Mitoma terrorising White, he really didn't do much with the ball beyond that. His decision-making and final ball was about as poor as I can remember it.
Not sure White or Trossard gave us a second thought. They took the money and the ambition, or so they thought. So **** em!

Yep, **** em. Sorry for them as they could have stayed at a better club. Sad that they couldn’t see it, and chased the dollar, but their loss

The hold up for Perv’s overlap leading to the first goal, and him squaring up and skinning White for Enciso to blaze over. Otherwise his final ball was generally not great. He had a good game overall I thought, as did everyone.
Yeah - his standout play was the pullback for Enciso who really should have done better.
He had a similar one in another recent game (Man Utd?) - beat his man outside and pulled back for Ali Mac who should have shot first time. He took a touch though and his effort was blocked as a result.

I think despite the end product not being great, it was that “fear of god” aspect which freed up space for others which really helped. It dragged Saka back where he really didn’t want to be to double up, because every time he was isolated against White it was squeaky bum time for them.
If we get that level of performance every week he will score or assist very often by sheer numbers of opportunities created.

Taxi for Mr White! (which I thought, but didn't say funnily enough)

And an excuse to share a photo of Pervis and lots of limbs.

You must have missed his decision not to take it right to the byeline for the cross as he loves to do, instead making this superb pass for the rapidly advancing Pervis....
No, I saw it and remember it well. I did wonder if it would be thrown back at me, and it has twice now.
But this thread was about him roasting White which, on that occasion, he didn't. Nice awareness from Mitoma and understanding between the two - the sort of thing we used to see from Bruno and Knockaert.
But the times he did get by his man he then often seemed to run down a bit of a blind alley.

Careful what you wish for. Mitoma is far from perfect and that is one of the reasons he is still here. As I am sure the stats will bear me out, he is one of the most dangerous wide players in the PL and is one of the main reasons we are so far up the league. Plenty of goals and assists this year I believe. If and when he goes he will be irreplaceable.

Some delightful skills in there from Mitoma. Worth highlighting the use of the outside of the foot, and acceleration from a standing start.
