ASTON Villa's misfiring Yugoslav striker, Savo Milosevic, is determined to prove he's not a GBP3.5 million misfit.
The 23-year-old Milosevic, a League Cup-winning hero with Villa last season, is in danger of losing his place for tomorrow's home game with Leeds United as the proud Midlands club struggle to keep in touch with the Premiership pace-setters.
With only two league goals to his name this season, Milosevic knows the pressure is on - but also feels he can win over the merciless Midlands critics who have dubbed him 'Miss-a-lot-evic'.
In an exclusive interview with Premier Soccer this week, the former Partizan Belgrade striker said: 'I think I can do a lot more in English football and I want to show the people here what I am capable of.
'The Villa supporters believe in me and are helping me on and off the pitch; now I have to give them something back.
'I know I can play a lot better than I did in the last couple of games and I hope to get the chance against Leeds on Saturday - but that's the manager's decision. I just have to prepare myself as much as I can do.
'Before the season started I thought we had enough quality to be champions but now it's going to be very hard because we have lost so many points.
