Good post.moomba said:I certainly don't think Elano is blameless, and I agree that he hasn't been firing on all cylinders since last Christmas.
But he has still been extremely useful for us in that time (those stats surprised me a bit, and show just how significant he was to a team doing so much better than we currently are),. He's also been a whole lot better than others that seem to escape criticism or "get rid" talk. He spent a lot of time in the past 12 months playing as a deep lying midfielder, and I just don't think that we'll ever get the best of him in that role.
He strikes me as a petulant type, and one that needs to be mollycoddled a fair bit. But if the right manager found the buttons to press, I think we could have a player on our hands thats even better than what we saw in the early part of the season.
He probably is a managers worst nightmare, but the best managers can also see those types as a great opportunity.
To get the best out of anyone they need to show willing themselves, he aint, hasnt even triedCheesy said:smithy167 said:No it aint if he cant do it off his own back a manager has no hope, players aint little kids
It is though. As a manager, you need to get the best out of those who work for you. You need to be able to adapt your style of leadership to individuals & I fear that this is what MH can't do.

Suddenly, players who aren't in the team become twice the player they were in the last defeat.
Is there any City fan who watches City away from home, who hand on heart would have played him?
You need to be able to dominate possession to justify playing elano. We can do it at home, if we want. We can't away. I'd never play him away. He's had loads of opportunities
elano has been hit and miss since he was signed. He was the most subbed player in the Premiership last season, under Sven so why the argument that Hughes is not getting the best out of the player?
