oldtype Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He really is the modern day Shola. Looks utterly silly flapping about on the pitch but sometimes it's effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just incredible really. Easily the most unexpected goal. Went mental over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 He works well in small doses but we would get very frustrated very quickly if he was playing 90 minutes every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Weirdly feels he might be quite effective against Barcelona because he's so intense and unusual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Such a good impact sub. Wouldn’t be starting him anytime soon. He’s absolute chaos coming off the bench against tired legs; strong, fast and good in the air. He’s a nightmare for a tired defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Did I miss something with Elanga? Clubbing every cross far too hard and high over the top of the box is playing well now is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gola Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Exactly what I wrote on here a week or so ago. Class to bring on in the last 10 when chasing. So chuffed for him, brilliant goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Never really changed my mind on him. He's got pace and power, but obviously not a natural striker's instincts. But that pace and power with the shooting ability is worth a lot by itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's set the bar so low that people are now impressed when he manages to do the absolute bare minimum basics right, such as work hard and not misplace short passes. I didn't think he was especially bad tonight btw, just the key moments when he had time and space to cross it he absolutely hammered it with the power drive club onto the other wing. And given he rarely fashions a shooting chance for himself, good crossing is the output you'd want from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he is improving I don’t see the point in not pointing it out. He did a lot more than just overhit 2 crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
