Eljero Elia (6 Viewers)
- Thread starter Bezzy
- Start date
Of course he is stiff still...was his first game and the game turned on to be overly complicated all of a sudden... BUT
The pros:
-This guy seems to have skills on the ball at his feet....
-He is willing to go in 1v1 without fear and seems to have the skills to work with.
-He ALWAYS pressured the enemies when they had the ball, even when defending is definitely not his best asset, and ran a lot. This a must in conte´s Juve.
For his age and his first game at juventus,,, i just can give him credit for a positive mentality and workrate.
Also we need to take into account that he seems very confortably in playing with skilled players like del piero and marchisio. Players from last season m,ost of the time simply didnt understand how del piero plays and fucked up everything he tried to do. Elia seems to read the plays from this players wonderfully.
This. If he does this game in game out... i would seriously consider him to contest pepe´s position.... because unlike pepe... elia seems to have innate dribbling skills and flair. If he can improve his marking and tackling..then hel yes why not?
Let the bro play!

Looking at the video again he should of blasted his shot instead of trying to chip the keeper, but I can't blame his confidence. He showed some great sparks, and proved he could also do the dirty work by tracking back to defend.
I like to see more of him, hopefully he'll get some playing time against Roma.

Elia's best position is on the left, still had a good game imo, tracked back for the ball and got a good reaction from the crowd. He has all the skills to become a good player, speed, technique, passing and determination all he needs is someone like Conte to help him mature. He needs to improve his positioning a bit, he has a habit of hiding behind the defenders. I'd like to see more of him in the league he's a pretty exciting player
Felipe Melo is simply not a good player. I don't really need to point to Parma-episodes, Brazil vs. Netherlands, him shouting like a beast just because he managed to tackle some player (which, by the way, is his job, and he's not doing it very well).
I just need to point to his poor tactical awareness and poor sense of positioning. And his risky passing.
He did not have a good season last season. Granted, it was better than his last one, but definitely not up to standard.
