Mark Albrighton Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 Actually thought he looked ok at right wing tonight. Still want him returned to right back ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think he did well but he lacks a final ball or the ability to consistently beat a man to be a really good winger. The new signings should mean he can slot back into right back which is his best position for us. Decent performance tonight though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 Not really a winger. RB is his best position, and he should play there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Please learn to cross with your left foot as well. So easy to defend against one on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The best thing about Elmo was his partnership with Snodgrass. Unfortunately he is Ernie Wise without Eric, I would hope that we have better options at both RW and RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm suprised he is being critised I thought he was brilliant. Some of his balls in the box were great. That cross to kodjia at the end was superb. Adomah on the other hand his crossing was pathetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 He gives his all every game but isnt a winger and it really tells when were on the front foot. Kodjia needs all the support he can up there, and when you have a right back supporting him and a shot adohmah its just not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I thought he was very good last night. I thought he and Tuanzebe played well together as well, especially in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I thought his crosses were terrible. Some even straight out over the byline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I want to see a bit more of this And this - To be honest, ever since he signed for us I've wanted to see his version of ^^^ in a Villa shirt. We should have got promoted then, I know, I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well done for the goal Elmo. Calm header, should be scored, and he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal aside I thought he was woeful today, 3 times put the ball out under no pressure due to simple failure to control. We looked so strong going forward on the left and so poor going forwards on the right. He also failed to protect Axel who I thought defended well despite often having to worry about 2 players by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 He has defensive instinct when in the final third. He can also cross better as an RB coming from deeper positions. Not a fan of him playing right wing at all, always feels to me a waste of one of the 4 attacking positions. SB tried this trick at the start of last season aswell. Hopefully with Bolaise now in the building that will be the last time we see him play there this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Agree with those saying he should be at RB. Decent enough as a full back and offers a bit going going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 Frankly I want Bruce gone purely so this guy is not an automatic starter week in week out.. He must have photos of Bruce he really must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Fair enough it was an away game, but choosing your wingers on their defensive merits is not going to get us promoted. Elmo just doesn't have what it takes to play RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Generally he's a total waste of space on the wing, he should absolutely be replacing Hutton at right back. Pathetic indictment of Bruce that he starts a fullback in midfield for extra protect against Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
