Newcastle United striker was on target for Fulham… again.
Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scored again last night as Fulham continued their promotion push.
Mitrovic’s opener for Fulham against Sheffield United was his fourth goal in five games for his loan side, and prompted plenty of debate among Newcastle fans.
Newcastle have struggled for goals this season, and did not give Mitrovic a run in the side in the Premier League.
His recent goal glut for Fulham has left Newcastle fans querying Rafa Benitez’s decison to loan him out.
Newcastle are battling against relegation, and their current top scorer, Dwight Gayle, has only netted four goals.
So was it a rare mistake from Benitez to get rid of Mitrovic?
Perhaps the real error was the club’s inability to sign a striker of their own who is fit, with Islam Slimani still waiting to make an impression.
There are fans who feel that Mitrovic has simply found his level, and he is simply not good enough for them at Premier League level.
One fan remarked that he would be ‘lethal’ for Sunderland, but that doesn’t make him the answer for Newcastle.
Where do you stand on the Mitrovic debate?
