Kid Icarus Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Looked much more like the player I loved 3 seasons ago. Early days but a good performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 A good game from him but that headed miss was inexcusable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 That miss without doubt lit a fire in him and he was near perfect from then until he came off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Very good tonight. If he can keep that level going we've got 6 very good midfield options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Signs of life tonight. Rank miss with the header but all of his usual irritating things like being muscled off the ball loads and misplacing passes seemed to be ironed out. Hopefully a route back to contributing something again at least in the short term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Would still prefer to sell him and get someone better and less made of glass in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Much more like it. But still so Joe Willock. Deceptively fast as fuck, great carrying the ball, pressing, strong running from deep and was finding loads of space. Just also a lot of his infuriating decision making when he got near the box. Great that based on tonight. We might, just might. Have 6 genuine centre mid options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Looked a bit brighter than he has for a long while, but still nowhere near good enough to be ahead of Miley in the pecking order. A decent cross for Big Nick’s goal, but he owed him that after trying to make out - with ridiculous arm-waving histrionics - that his own headed howler was an attempted assist for Woltemade.

Likewise, he may even come into some form and then he'll be out for months. I am a bit concerned we have repated this mistake with Jacob Ramsey. I guess we will see, hopefully they both kick on.

kenlau88210 Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 So frustrating his finishing has been so poor for the last 1-2 years. He couldn’t miss when he first joined on loan and in the 22/23 season he had a few good goals as well. Shame, but at least he still gets into good positions and hopefully he becomes clinical again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Looked good yesterday in midfield, he worked really hard and seemed to be at a good place physically. The second goal was all his work by pressing them to lose the ball then providing the assist to Woltemade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gola Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Much better from himand crucially, he looked happy. Feel like the last two seasons he's been looking negative and the fans getting on his back hasn't helped. Maybe being given a start in a key game gave him a bit of confidence. If he play like that, and with a smile on his face, then we poss have the best midfied in europe, with all six deserving of a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Funny how people are criticising Elanga while praising Willock. I thought they had pretty similar games; both had some good moments and some phases of play where they could’ve done a bit better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Looking a bit more like his old self last night, a few surging runs and assist and should have scored Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of the game I thought he was one of the lesser performers (I don't think anyone was actually bad) on the team. His erratic movement off the ball lead to massive holes in midfield which fortunately for us Spurs didn't exploit. Decent cross for Woltemade goal but aside from that I didn't think it was a performance worthy of mentioning tbh.

andycap Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Why mention flogging him? 😂 He played well will be a great option off the bench. Talk about selling him when window actually opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 30, 2025 Share Posted October 30, 2025 Sign of our progression in 4 years is he's went from one of our 2-3 most important players when he signed, to the 24-25th member of the squad pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a bizzare suggestion like I mean, is he not part of our back up midfield trio? Ramsey, Miley, Joe? Hardly classed as 24th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 Just as a follow up to the recent comments re his lateness and lack of effort, he stands out like a sore thumb in this video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdwfmpGW/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 (edited) He always struck me as a bit of an aloof glake. Fair play making it as far as he has on talent as he looks vacant a lot of the time. Edited November 7, 2025 by GEFAFWISP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
