Anthony Elanga

[Cornah]

Outstanding assist, no right to win that. Notches 2nd half.

[aussiemag]

Yeh he was decent in the half. Would like to see him terrify the fullback more. But still a huge improvement. 

[La Parka]

Good job Tony keep it up he's getting a lot more space for incisive runs. No coincidence his best play is when we turn it over. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Better, hope his confidence improves from here 

[MickMack]

Genuinely don’t get why he is so underrated on here, never ever loses the ball

Meant this for the Miley thread apologies whole heartedly 

[Holloway]

Like his 2 footedness it's very evident 

[Dr Venkman]

Think he was good overall but inexcusable not getting across the pitch to close down the cross for the disallowed goal. That was shite, and lazy.

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Thought he was better than usual but nowt special till his great assist.

 

Loads to prove still but hopefully that gives him some confidence and he kicks on.

[nufc123]

Better today. Hopefully that assist will do him good.

I'd have given him the full 90 just on the off chance something clicked and he got a goal or something, small steps but good assist, played a part in the first, doesn't hide, so fair play to the lad, he'll get there

[samptime29]

Definitely better. Not saying he was amazing or owt but he looked more threatening for sure.

[Lenny]

That was a foundation building 7.5 I'd say. He needed a game like that to [hopefully] start some momentum.

[Ginola]

He did very well for his assist

Agree with this. Against the low bar he's set so far it was miles, miles better without being a performance for the ages.

Haha I was gonna say, that's the ONE thing everyone agrees with re Elanga.

[Erikse]

It's probably quite a bit easier to play with Livra behind him than Trippier aswell.

[TRon]

Looks peripheral at times, and his touch can be hit and miss, but he did brilliantly for the assist, and he does look capable of some really quick and incisive pass and move stuff. Decent game overall. 

[Newcastle Fan]

I've been one of his harshest critics here but today he did what we were hoping he's capable of when he signed, his role in the third goal probably helped us seal the win and i really hope he can build on this.

[toon25]

He's going to be a good player for us, as frustrated as we are with him at the moment 

[STM]

Best thing that happened for him was that first minute chance he had. His confidence clearly took a boost and went on from there.

[Aiston]

Showed what he can do. Brilliant game after our 2nd goal. More of that please.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Much, much better, even before the assist he was having a good game (especially when compared to what he has mostly served up)

 

That assist was brilliant and hopefully now that he's got off the mark he can start delivering goals/assists
