Well let's hope that isn't effective

Sucks that he has been stuck at 6 goals for months.

His teammates are some ballhogs though. Especially their fullbacks.. They'll rather try to dribble 6 players than make the obvious pass. There is many situations where Broja could get the ball but he doesn't.

Well that's effective for every player, because you cant do anything if they foul you. Ref was terrible today, typical English ref

It'd be nice if he scored more, but I'm not too worried about it. This is only his 2nd professional season, and first in a top league. He's only 20. EPL is also arguably the hardest league on center forwards. He's way ahead of where he should be.

For someone his height, he's very weak in the air.

16!! Aerial duels attempted, and only 5 won.

He's only 20, so inconsistency is normal, but I feel his recent bad form is more due to defenders adapting to his game. His movement needs to get a lot better to utilise his skills properly.

Improve in the air and give yourself easy goals to boost the confidence.

Right now, he relies on beating defenders the hard way (with his feet).

I watched the game, the aerial battle wasn't that lobsided. I think a lot of those "losses" are balls from the throw ins that were useless or balls that neither him or the defender clearly won. He was a nuisance IMO in the air today. Won a fair few flick ons

Another guy slowly making good progress. Much improved from when I saw him last year . Can’t have enough good depth. Just shows the quality of coaching differences from the proper countries and the lacklustre ones

The own goal he scored for the u21 was comedy.
