At first I was overly impressed by him, he's an exciting talent don't get me wrong - but at the moment what does he actually bring to the side? 22 appearances... 0 goals, 0 assists. I'm desperate to see the lad succeed but I feel like he might be part of the problem, every time I watch him I notice that he's very good at running with the ball in a straight line at pace but that's literally about it. His passing is often poor, his touch is heavy - can't really tackle and his shots are wayward. But he seems to escape criticism when players like Clucas and McClean receive it even on the rare occasion of when they do make a positive contribution to the team. Just actually scratching my head trying to find what he brings.
Hope to god he turns into the player from this video below.

Have him in the side way before some of the other wasters. At least he looks to go forward and has a bit of pace.

Another player who seems to have regressed into mediocrity after a move to Stoke ... See also Woods, Afobe ...
What is it about this club's apparent ability to drain good players of their ability?

I'm more and more convinced that we have some really talented individuals, particularly in our midfield who just can't play together. Etebo looks a quality player to me, but he's like Affelay, great to watch, but nothing at the end of it.
I'm nay tactical genius, but it's like if you slotted a number of our players into teams that needed that kind of player then they'd be excellent, but none of our pieces fit together.
Over to you Nathan.

A couple of the world cup games he played as the defensive midfielder and was excellent I think he's more suited to that role, but if Nathan Jones wants to play the diamond formation, Adam not Etebo will be at the base of it. Or so it appears! I would persevere with Etebo, I think he's got potential.

He plays with a lot more passion and aggression than most of the others, he is strong in possession, good at nicking the ball off players, is the only player to run with the ball surging past opponents, remarkably fast when running back to defend when we lose the ball, is one of the few to have grasped the tactics of the diamond and is only 22. Do you need anything else? Yes he could make better decisions in the final third and his shooting is pretty poor but at least he's prepared to shoot. Which academy player would you suggest he is blocking the development of? Sorenson looked nowhere near ready the other week. I sadly think Etebo will have moved on before he is.
I suggest you watch Etebo play instead of just looking at the statistics

Surely you're not on about the Checkertrade? No academy team does well bar the elite. Is he better than Sorrensen? Not by much.

He’s still pretty raw and has a lot to learn but he’s got the tools to have a very good career.
It can’t be easy for him playing in a new country in a team that has been struggling all season and he hasn’t had the impact we were all hoping for having watched him in the World Cup, but he’s still been one of the better performers in my opinion.
He’s also one of the few plyers who actually looks like he gives a shit.

I can't see what he does but run forward with the ball, and then nothing comes of it.
Must suffer with SCFC syndrome like the rest of them

Etebo has starred in a world cup,all the pundits reckoned we'd stole him

I can't see what he does but run forward with the ball, and then nothing comes of it. Same applies to Ince. Wonder if they actually do any shooting practice at the training ground? Even when we create chances, our shots on target stats are awful! Both Ince and Etebo would be more effective if they could shoot straight .... Oh - and Berahino, of course ... ;-)

Wether it's confidence or he's still developing, or both I'm not sure. I hope there is more to come from him. His decision making and final ball isnt the best but that can be improved upon with good coaching

Or so it appears! I would persevere with Etebo, I think he's got potential. At the World Cup, he played with Ndidi as a joint DM so was able to share the workload. The game he got applause for when shackling Messi, he played as CM in a 5-man midfield. That for me is his best position. I do think he has potential to be a sole DM but the one game he's played for us in that position was the loss against Shrewsbury, when he was very average and didn't look confident. He needs the right coaching in becoming a destroyer.

His game isn't about assists or goals.
One of our better performers for me, one of very few I'd actually keep.

Oh is it Etebo’s turn to be slagged of this week then? Fucks sake. Perhaps we ought to have a rota. Day about. We could either do it by squad number or alphabetically. It would make it much fairer and the players would know they'd have about a month off without the doom mongers on his back before it was his turn again.

I like the look of him.....think he looks good when he plays!!!
Always one of the better players!!!
Against West Brom he never stopped running, he was still working away with just seconds remaining, when most of the team had already given up the ghost!!!

He's shown some glimpses of his power of late, especially when running with the ball and certainly seems more involved in the game and wants the ball. Earlier in the season I felt games just passed him by. Still loads of room for improvement, but it's early days really.

Over to you Nathan. I've said this for a while. None of our regular players are as bad individually as some are making out (especially now Cuca has gone). I bet Shawcross, for example, could still do a job in the Premier League with the right partner (and we actually concede less goals when he's in the team).

Yes, we should be starting Shawcross, there is absolutely no doubt about that.
