My personal take on the whole issue is that Rafa may have dropped a bollock by adopting the stance he has on Mitro.

Unless we know the exact reasons for Rafa excluding him then you've got to assume it goes beyond footballing reasons because, let's be totally honest-is there a poster on this board who genuinely thinks Joselu is a better option? Surely no-one thinks that, and that includes Rafa and his coaches.

So, is whatever the reason is strong enough to jeopardise our premier League status by leaving us with such limited striking options?

Obviously, people's frustrations,have been exacerbated by Mitro suddenly scoring again and by our lack of forward options and I certainly don't think he's a particularly good player but, on paper at least, it seemed a rash decision and days like today put it in an unfavourable light.
