17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Aleksandar Mitrovic

10. Discipline Is An Issue For Mitrovic... He Was Sent Off Twice In 2013-14 And Booked 10 Times Last Season

A negative that could be levelled at Mitrovic is that his temperament is not always the best - and Newcastle certainly do not want to repeat or even worsen last season's debacle of more than 20 weeks' worth of suspensions for their squad members. In 2013-14 Mitrovic saw red twice and, last season, he was booked 10 times in 51 appearances. Hopefully Steve Black et al can help Mitrovic improve his temperament without taking away the physicality and feistiness from his game that make him such a handful - and, let's face it, he's only 20 so he has time to sort that out.
