‘Last season I thought he was treated poorly by Eddie Howe…’ Troy Deeney
Troy Deeney has picked his best 12 performers from the top tier action. The Premier League team of the weeked (and manager) that have most impressed him.
Troy Deeney, the talented Newcastle United player, has selected his Premier League team of the week alongside the manager, Sergej Jakirovic. Among his choices, Deeney included Newcastle United midfielder Anthony Elanga. The 27-year-old Englishman had faced numerous challenges, such as being frequently substituted and struggling to break into the Newcastle starting lineup during the previous season.
However, under the new management and formation, Elanga managed to showcase his pace and power, transforming his style into a completely different player.
Deeney explained that the new manager, Jakirovic, believed in his abilities, which allowed Elanga to run past defenders with ease. In a remarkable display against Liverpool, Elanga not only scored a stunning goal but also demonstrated his potential to become an even bigger asset for the team. Deeney also praised the other ten members of his team, including Yoane Wissa, who was awarded the Man of the Match, and other players such as Dedic, Miley, Thiaw, and Hall.
