The decline of Elmohamady

There is unanimity on the forum that Elmo's form has been atrocious this season. Also a player previously acknowledged to be a hard working player is now seen by many as the opposite.

What do you think is going on?

 

He isn't used as a wing back anymore

 

Credit to Elmo for getting back into the side but to be fair,he is One of half a dozen players who simply are not consistent enough.

 

The Arab Sprung?

 

1. That was for like 25 minutes.

2. The three at the back were our three slowest centre backs, the lack of Davies made that 3 incredibly vulnerable.

3. In that 25 minutes Elmo put several good balls in including one where he he rinsed the Huddersfield full back and put an absolute sitter on for Abel who missed a free header.

 

Clever way of trying and hide your own ability perhaps?

 

Not true.
It's all one way, Odders just gets on with it and doesn't waste time and energy entertaining the ****. I almost think he is too passive in that respect. Dunno if the management have sussed it (suspect they have, but they need the old Elmohamedy's crosses and headers from McGregor's kick outs - like the first goal last night) but the crowd in the East stand have.
Shocking unprofessional childish attitude, and Odders effortlessly takes the moral high ground with him.

 

I think his nose was put out by Moses coming in. He didn't play well as a winger in 4-4-2. He then knows his contract is out and his confidence is shot and that's it. I think he's very much a player based on being loved. When he played every week for years and was Bruce's boy, he was great. Now he's not and he's lost his mojo totally.

It should be added that he did win a clear penalty and how he got put back at right back after last week I will never know. That's 100% on Bruce...

 

So its the players not doing it then not Bruce. Good, thats settled then.

 

Is there there any wonder Elmo's confidence got shot to pieces when an out and out winger gets asked to play wing/fullback?

 

What about his attitude though?

 

Shi**y at best mate.

 

And his trying to claim a corner about 5 minutes from time was an embarrassment.

 

It's a real shame, but whatever's wrong with him he needs dropped.

 

Unless Snodders gets nobbled I don't see any reason for him starting a game for us again.

 

So he didn't set up the best chance of the game by far to that point? He didn't win several headers over the Udders full back and cause them problems? And the world's slowest three man defence weren't the bigger problem?

Basically you've got 47 minutes and an exaggeration about falling over whilst ignoring valid points. Well done.

 

The man is our worst player this season, he's been utterly **** and clearly wants out.

He seems to have lost about 5 yards of pace, never seems to track back, outright refuses to press or go into tackles, etc.

I can only assume he has incriminating stuff on Bruce, because there's surely no way he's getting in the team for any other reason. The fact he played 90 minutes last night was a ****ing disgrace.
