Kaoru Mitoma

[Craig]

Looks a decent prospect but can only go one way. Wan Bissaka was left 1 on 1 with him so many times in semi. He just kept showing him onto his weaker foot and schooled him.

To be fair Bissaka is a very good one v one defender. It’s when he’s on the ball himself the problems start

Jack has that in abundance and is much better.

Good one

It seems I am the only one who thinks Takefusa Kubo is better player.

Not really, Jack's strength lies in his decision making. Mitoma is a better dribbler, a better finisher and is quicker.

The problem for me is that the left hand side isn't an issue for us. We need someone on the right.

Jack's finishing is probably the main area of his game he needs to improve on. I think he would admit that himself, but I don’t see any reason why that can't happen.

Better finisher??have you ever seen Brighton play?

I didn't say he was a great finisher but Jack is dogshit in front of goal.

Same, mate. It's weird because he can very clearly strike the ball well. It's just that he snatches at pretty much every chance he gets.

He should be getting into the double figures and I think it's reasonable to expect that this season.

Mitoma 13% shot to goal rate
Grealish 12%

Both shite

What’s worse for me, is that one of Jacks biggest strengths is that ability to cut in from the edge of the area to open up space for a chance of a decent shot, it’s something that comes naturally to him and his style, yet he rarely does it or takes it, Mahrez was brilliant at it, I’m sure if he worked on perfecting that move alone he’d double his goal tally.

It will be interesting to see how Mitoma gets on this season, after an amazing debut season. Opposition will be studying him far more and Mitoma will likely have to adapt at times. This season will tell us a lot about how good this lad is going to be.

It's just about composure, I think. He snatches at chances similar to how Erling does with headers. It's a weakness that shouldn't really be there but it's exciting to think that it might just click soon. A Grealish who bags goals and a Haaland who dominates in the air is a scary thought.
