TheMelvillan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 thought the worst when i saw him starting at centre back - mainly because I always considered him to be a fairly slight build of a fella. But he was very composed. I suppose the likes of Cannavaro prove that its not all about having a hulking great lump at centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love him as a player for our club and Dean and the coaching staff for recognising him Edited September 25, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I am sorry but I do not understand what anyone sees in the guy. I honestly think I would do a better job than him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vokes is an experienced CF who kept pulling on to the shorter than him Fullback playing at centre back which helped stoke to get ahead in the first half.

YouUnastanFren Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Apologies if this is old news but I've just seen Elmo's gif from Amazon Prime and it's a cracker 95% of the others I've seen have been shitty nods or fist pumps but this legend just breaks these moves out. I was on the fence over who I'd prefer as RB cover but this has settled it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Cash > Guilbert > Kessler > Elmo for me! And I haven't even seen Kessler play. Madness to let Guilbert go out as we could push Cash forward to RW and drop Guilbert in at RB if we were out of wide options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their game plan is the overload down the left with maddison, tielemans and Barnes and their full back and sometimes vardy. To compensate we need to have a midfielder on maddison at all times, and we need a solid defensive triangle of our rb, RW and cb. Obviously konsa is sorted but against Liverpool it felt trez and cash were bypassed very easily and Leicester will have more players and better players on the flanks.

If they feel Elmo is the better RB you should trust their judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are doing a grand job - particularly post project re-start - but that doesn't mean I agree with every decision they take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember his goal against Newcastle, as well as some vital crosses. Maybe they have seen that and trust him more. He also has a good understanding and chemistry with Trezeguet. Our starting rwf. As well as being a important and popular figure in the dressing room. When you think about it him being backup for Cash makes sense.

Just debating and, as you say, it will be Smith's decision but I would rather have Guilbert's energy, dynamism, bite and 110% (and we have seen all of this in the games he plays) as opposed to Elmo's occasional looped in cross from just inside the half way line (slight exageration!).

MrBlack Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 if he's our back up then he needs to start the next game after Cash's horror showing against Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 AEM coming on was preparation for him starting at Arsenal imo, get half hour of premier league football in his legs. Didn't cash play a fair bit for Forest on the right wing so that may be an option but would require us to reshape the midfield which I doubt we'll do.
