Had that full back beat every time and did fantastic for the first 2 goals. Great to watch. Confident on the ball, excellent technical skills, scares the shit out of the opposition... damn he's going to be good for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A colleague is a season ticket holder at St James' and said if we have any pace, Stoke have no answer to it; hoping Leko is eligible for us! LJ said post match that Eliasson will start and I'd have thought Pato gets the other spot hoping Leko is available though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 He could be the most important arrival of this season. Terrified the opposition defence and at times was unplayable. A young, hungry, quick Fancy Daps. what a find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRERE Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Fantastic player. Just breezes past people and he seems to link up well with Reid already. Although the guy next to me was slating LJ for puting Leko on the right because apparently 'Leko is a centre forward not a winger. He's never played out wide. And square peg, round hole etc' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leko specifically talks about having played wide and (I believe) said his favoured position was LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably is, but West Brom were offering him to us, rather than us asking for him. So we could well have negotiated it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as skillful one on one as Leko, but definitely quicker, if you have a problem with pace you have a problem with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I doubt anyone outside of our club knows about him! Signed him from Sweden in the summer after he was names in their first divisions team of the season, looks like an exciting prospect, quick with a good delivery on him but hasn't been getting much game time due to his defensive game being poor (according to LJ anyway...) Getting a game against you on Tuesday apparently so will be interesting to see him play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we really have a problem with pace. Dealing with crosses seems to be the major problem, usually from corners. It's been a consistent issue since Hughes took over. Thought we'd sorted it as we now have three decent big units in the centre. They've made us more solid in open play, but our use of zonal marking seems to be making us a bit too easy to pick off from set-pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Pulis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton98 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Another great thing about this loan is that it gives time for Eliasson to adapt to the championship without throwing him in and when leko does leave we have an already made replacemeant for him.
