Elliot Anderson (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[Optimistic Nut]

I was thinking he could potentially be the Joelinton upgrade, but I just don't see him popping up in the box the same way he does. Joelinton should score far more than he does but he at least gets in those areas.

 

Think we'd only get him if we sold Bruno or Tonali. 

[The College Dropout]

Thought he was good overall. Bad clanger for the pen.

I think he's a bit overhyped personally. Good player but I think the media are getting a bit carried away.

 

I think he's come on a ton and wish him all the best, but I'm always a bit perplexed by how much he gets piped off on here. That's not to say he won't continue on his upward trajectory like.

[Sibierski]

He played some good passes from deep that won’t be picked up because of how crap Forest were then in final third. He’s mustard and will be moving on in summer. 

[BennyBlanco]

If he does come home (big if) does he replace Joelinton?

He really has to be careful he doesn't become another Barkley, Rodwell, Phillips, like. We'd naturally be a good move but if he went to a Liverpool or City, I think it might be too big a jump. 

[The Prophet]

He'd be competing with Ramsey here mind.

[BermyToon]

Agent Anderson, thanks for the penalty. 

[SteV]

Really excellent today, penalty aside, I thought. When he came back last year, he was alright, but a bit meh, like many of his early games for us.

 

Looked like he’d stepped up a level today and looked by far Forest’s best player (maybe alongside MGW, albeit he had a lot less influence).

[Infatuation Junkie]

Best forest player and I miss him in this squad. To be fair we lost a good un here mind

[Heron]

Anderson to Forest is like Tonali to us.

Both Anderson and Minteh were good ones that we lost. I'm not convinced yet that Elanga is better than Minteh.

[lovejoy]

I thought he got schooled at times today. Big fan of his though, and hope we see him back.

Felt like Joelinton was literally bullying him in the first-half.

Hard to say since Minteh never played for us.

[OverThere]

Thank you for the penalty. Played well and then sealed the 3 points. Well done lad.

[LFEE]

Played well when game was solely at his pace. However our current three had more gears when needed.

He was a beast out there today.

Great assist 👍

[Optimistic Nut]

I'm sure after it was given he told the referee to "watch the replay", as though it shouldn't have been given.

Eddie had his arm around him and a long chat after the full time whistle

They all do that though! Williams looked bemused that that the ref had given a handball against him 

[Optimistic Nut]

I bet he won't concede a penalty like that again in his career, either. If ever he makes a dodgy touch, or if he's facing his own byline in the box, he'll have a little look over his shoulder now. 

[east stander]

Has really come on with the move, whether he would have had that much game time here is doubtful as Eddie admitted. What impressed me was his quick feet, a few times he had the ball under control with his right then a quick left foot pass seemed to throw whoever was in front of him. Superb footballer

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He has a lot about him but I'm not sure he's quite at the level to dominate a PL game in the manner he was trying to. And if Forest are hoping he will they might be disappointed. 

 

I wasn't that bothered selling him because he basically didn't feature for us, but it would've been nice to have him as another option. That said, we have Miley and we should have Ramsey. 

 

Overall he had a good game and I'm sure he'll get better because he has lots of strengths, but I would put him at good rather than superb at the moment.

Yep. Not really seen that much to convince me he's become a totally different player to what he was with us. He really enjoyed playing under Nuno because he got more time and space with a team that dropped deep, and with England he's not playing in games with the same intensity as the PL either. 

 

He's obviously a very talented player, but would he have the same problems with us as before where he would get lost in the midfield scraps in tight spaces?
