Selred Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 What a player. Must be one of the best crossers in the league, and now adding goals to his game. Well done to LJ & Co for giving him time and really bringing him on. Up the City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 He just constantly beat his man inside and out, and his crossing is just different gravy. It has come to the point that it seems harsh to drop anyone and replace them, but we have such a great squad it is so good to be a City fan at the moment.

JoeAman08 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thought he was poor first half like last year was a bit timid. Second half much less of that and was much better. Quality of his left foot will never be in question though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a left peg I can’t think of a better one since Tins. Also thought he put in a good defensive side of his game too - definitely becoming a more complete player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yep a great goal and I understand him playing on the right allows him to cut in and let fly but.... I think he’s even better playing on the left when he whips crosses in away from the keeper and beats his men with more ease. What surprised me tonight was he stayed on right side, did not switch at all. Hopefully him and KP will start Sunday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 He was fantastic. There was one particularly beautiful moment 2nd half where was stuck tight to the touchline and marked and produced a beautiful kind of flick over the defender's leg and sprinted around him. Does anyone have a clip of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 But he was only any good at 5 a side, I read that here so it must be true. He is also another example of Johnson wasting money on kids who will never make it. Not sure why we are persisting with him to be honest, needs loaning our to league 2 really...............

Looked a but lost and was running behind defenders and not being a great option. Again it changed drastically second half and even first he had a few good crosses. Think sometimes he just has a tendency to shy away from physical battles but got up to speed quick enough and can say almost dominated second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly had talent when he arrived in Bristol but the Championship is unforgiving and he didn't have the time and space to show the skills that he was scouted for. He's a very bright lad. His interviews are always worth a listen and I get the impression he is enjoying his time with us. It's clear he's learning and adjusting. If he gradually gets to grips with the cynical fouling that is part of this level of English football then I think we will see an even better player. That progress should give him a really good shout at a place in the national team. Good luck to the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 He really starts to impress when we have a bit of momentum and get some quick passing going. Something which was lacking in the first half, but was remedied by replacing Kelly with Dasilva. Certainly has a sweet left foot and knows where the goal is!

simon uk Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Really happy with elliasson tonight, excellent goal, and those crosses are really dangerous. He can still get physically knocked out of it, but has come on leaps and bounds, and is getting more used to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Doesn't matter how many defenders you put between him and the goal, when he comes inside, winds up that leg and shoots - he's scoring. What was it tonight 5 or 6 players that his shot curved around ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Does this mean that LJ is right to protect signings and to leave them out for the first 12 months or so, just so his team can coach and train them, so that when they do come in, they are ready?

Thought he was brilliant tonight, even first half he put two fantastic crosses in from little service. I think Fam might just have worked out where he needs to be for Eliasson’s crosses and was getting closer to notching from one. In fairness he should’ve buried his header, but he’s being manhandled everytime. Against less physical CBs he’ll get a better run to get his noggin on it. 1 hour ago, JamesBCFC said: Both his last 2 goals have been from getting shown onto his left foot.
