Nikola Milenković / Никола Миленковић - „The SERBINATOR“

Larry Lansbury

Thought both Centre Backs were brilliant. I was really concerned with Richarlson as he seems to always score ( I know he doesn’t) against us, and he is dangerous in the air. But they won pretty much every header. Good point made by Mark on Forest Focus that spurs playing 2 big men upfront, suited our CB’s , particularly Milenkovic, as he loves the contact and physical battle, rather than a nippy forward who is trying run in behind or plays between the lines.

I don't like it when he smiles, its unnerving

The Serbinator feels nothing - no pain, no heavy tackles, nothing. Not even warm temperatures. Mid-twenties Celsius in Porto - who’s the only one not in shorts? With a full trackie suit - zipped up to the top? And a padded gilet?

Awesome. 🤩

Just the sort of man you need in a tight relegation battle,Rosie-I thought he was outstanding at Tottenham.

It's incredibly rare that I get a player's name on a shirt (4 in my lifetime) but Nikola Milenkovic's name adorns my current one

Cracking player.

I’ll stick by my view he’s generally 2 or 3 yards too deep playing someone onside.

That said, days like today Murillo is permanently in midfield, which doesn’t help.

There was a tackle in the second half today, I think it was on Watkins, where he tried to turn the Serb, and you just saw the foot take the ball, and the player bounce off him. Thats what he brings to us.

He's quite simply no nonsense, nothing flashy (which is why he won't ever be at a big club) but does all the basics well.

Very nice. These are great reads, they did one for Sels a few weeks ago. A great idea to let the players talk about it themselves. I remember reading in an article last year that Nikola's mom was a bit overprotective of him and had some doubts about him seriously viewing a career in football, which sounds so much like a Balkan mom. 😂

For a player of his style he gets a ridiculously low number of bookings. I don't think he has ever been suspended since he arrived.
I might be misremembering this, but didn’t he miss the first game or two of his first season with us because of a suspension that carried over? Pretty sure he also got sent off against England for Serbia. So basically, he's bound to get a red card before the end of the season now 😂

Yes, he missed his first game here because of yellow cards and it was the only game he missed throughout the season. And yes, he also did get sent off vs England last October I think. It doesn't happen often though.
