HOW

do you solve a problem like aleksandar Mitrovic? He is far too good to not be in newcastle’s team but for every moment of brilliance — such as his goal against West Ham — there is danger that he will get sent off.

Mitrovic is a battering ram and a brave forward who will score goals. But his stupidity often outweighs his undoubted quality.

There are some players who never learn but if Mitrovic gets his head right, he can be the key to newcastle staying in the Premier League.
