Why not go back and see how his xG was when he was in his mams womb ? 

 

 

 

Because empirically this has no predictive power of future performance, which estimating expectations from the playing career do. Converse to your analysis which is a distrust of stuff you don’t understand

12 assists and 6 goals last season in a Forest team that typically sat back and hit teams on the counter

 

I’m not saying Elanga has been good for us because he hasn’t, but he’s not a shit player  

 

You’re quoting his stats from when he’s barely grown pubes as a justification for why you think he’s shite

Whos taking him back for £45M >?

Hes fucking abysmal 

[El Prontonise]

Thought he'd be coming good by now, by god he's not.  Technically doesn't look anywhere near PL level.

[TheBrownBottle]

He’ll end up in the Greek or Turkish top flight in a couple of years’ time

[Heron]

Head out the arse or don't play.

[Minhosa]

Fucking useless cunt. Shouldn’t have been anywhere near the starting 11 today. Awful footballer.

If anything he’s getting worse - todays performance was very very worrying

Yet we know he was PL level until this season.

This guy is the most disappointing out of everyone we’ve brought in this summer.  I really thought he’d be fantastic under Eddie and would be a consistent menace down the right wing.

 

Unfortunately he’s been consistently awful. 😞

I thought he was a shocking signing and I said that at the time. He's actually been worse however, than even I thought he was going to be. Absolutely criminal what we paid for him.

He was great at Forest and tore us to shreds at SJP, guess we thought Eddie could harness his pace and pressing to create goals, but he’s so bad running with the ball, it’s getting depressing seeing his name on the team sheet.

 

 The fee in hindsight is pretty shocking, agree with you there.

He was on the bench at Forest quite a bit, but I agree with everything else.

To think we could have had Mbuemo and instead ended up with this donkey. Forest have done us again, first Anderson and now him.

Mbeumo did not want to come here, no idea why people choose to rewrite history

Aye he wasn't interested whatsoever such a weird thing to chime on. 

[TRC]

Unfortunately people put this weight on Eddie Howe that he can get the best out of everyone. So everyone has suffered because of it

This is true, and it never made any sense to me as a narrative. If he can improve players that's fantastic. Instead of him making average good let's make good world class. 

 

It's a pipe dream though as we are reliant on getting him the players he chooses. Anyways I've harped on about the structure of the club since the start so I'll give it a rest but fucking hell what a disaster.
