I wouldn’t say worst player, but he’s not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ahmed 'I am just marking this empty space here so couldn't possibly go out and engage my man' Elmohamady. Odd cross aside the bloke is bang average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Let’s face it if you read this forum you quickly realise all our players are hopeless just like all the ones that we have been able to get rid of over recent years is there anyone good enough for us ?

At one point he lumped one in when no one was even near the penalty area. I'll give him his due, when he has a bit of space and time he can deliver a good ball in as we have seen this season. Defensively he is pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as he is inside the opposition half he looks to hit a high, looping cross into the box. Attackers must be waiting for the keeper to come out and clatter into them. Hospital crosses. Someone should have taught him when and how to hit a cross a long time ago. He'd be a much better player then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hopefully won’t get many games other than filling in at RB, now that his mate Bruce is gone... Be glad to see him and a few others shipped out and replaced with some genuine quality if we get an actually decent manager in. So glad the nightmare is over.

You have got a point, many have left and gone on to do better things.....I guess playing as a team with Identity, would help most of our players. but you can only comment on what you see.....and what I see from him defensively isn't much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He is the definition of Aston Villa at the minute. He is solid, but not spectacular, he is a bit boring and will not achieve much as things stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I presumed his contract was up at the end of this season. Just checked, and he signed a three year deal. Let's hope Bruce get's another gig in the summer. He has been alright but I don't want to match him for another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Was just about to say Bruce will probably have another job by January and Elmo will no doubt be one of his first signings Yes he gets his fair share of assists but I think its more down to putting in the number of crosses that he does, usually nowhere near any player. Put in 20 crosses a match though and you will get one right now and again. I bet his success rate of crosses is very low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I suspect his playing time will decrease under the new regime. But maybe not much at first. I am curious what k-Mac will do with him i would start several ahead of him at any position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worry is the whole back 4 is over 30, excluding Axel of course who is on loan. 19 hours ago, Zatman said: watching the highlights and in first half he conceded a throw and went for a walk towards the ref and Preston took it quick and Robinson had a one on one with the keeper woeful headless footballer He plays like he is in a testimonial for me.

AVTuco Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 I like Elmo. One of the few players of ours I like at the moment. Soz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Hopefully Elmo now has to earn his place fitting into a system rather than just having his name automatically on the sheet. I know people will mention his assists but I don't see his point. Not a great defender and not a great winger. I am sure a proper winger would get even more assists.
