You can see why Mitrović is such a big player at this level – scores, holds up the ball really well & even referees the match too. Very versatile. #lufc

How many of Bamford’s first half chances would Mitrovic have converted? I think at least 2. #LUFC

Probably just about the right result today, #lufc not quite at it. Mitrovic a handful all game, easily the best player in the league. Ref dodgy but when aren’t they??

It’s was all about the defence today. Never seen White run ragged like that. Mitrovic was real handful. In midfield Philips was outplayed. Bielsa will no doubt point out that with 2 strikers we looked short on midfield. Plenty to consider to for Boxing Day. #lufc

A player of Mitrovic’s quality at this level is downright ridiculous. They’ve got a handful of really brilliant players & are seriously underachieving. A promotion would be a waste whilst he’s their manager.

People rave over Bowen if I had a choice of any championship player to have at LUFC in January it would be Mitrovic without a doubt a total team player
