Leaving out Elano

[msix]

Elano has been shite all season

he was good in spain.

players need a run in the team to get to their best potential. it doesnt help when your manager doesnt speak to you either.

elano in the team>elano not in the team

GOOD IN SPAIN!! i was watching the wrong player... everyone to a man did jack

His form is frustrating but I am not wholly convinced this is the reason Hughes didnt play him today

There seems to be more to it........... fuelling all the "there's a split camp" rumours further

He was involved in 39% of our goals last season, 4th best in the league.

And was involved in 21% of our assists, 4th best in the league.

And some people are trying to make out that he is rubbish.

All true but you may as well bang your head against a brick wall, as the ones who slate Elano will never give him credit no matter what he does. I've seen posts made after 10 minutes of a game to point out that he misplaced a pass, yet when Kompany or Ireland loses it or SWP runs down a blind alley it goes unmentioned. The anti-Elano clique stick to their mantra of "he's been crap for a year" without bothering to judge his performances in full.

Good post. OK, so his form dipped last year but I still don't buy in to this myth that he was actually poor. As for this season, MH has completely failed to get anything out of him at all, I suspect down to his "one size fits all" management technique.

Rightly or wrongly, Elano will never play for City again whilst Hughes is in charge, unless there's a major backing down from either party which I can't see. Same with Ben Haim.

Well something has obviously gone on, especially if you've brought TBH into this.........whats happened, Ric, come on spill the beans then I can get to bed!

Why what's happened?

It's funny we need players like Elano when there is a team there for the taking that is low on confidence, and yet Hughes thinks it's not his type of game....., I guess the question is. What is then? Because I for one will be very displeased if Bellemy is brought in to play that role.

Hmmm, MH has been distancing himself from the TBH signing recently hasn't he? WTF is going on at our club?

I agree with you Cheesy, but I can't help but think you're letting the player himself off very lightly. Ultimately he's on the pitch doing the business. I understand the manager has an important role in player motivation, but I think when discussing personal performances, the buck has to stop with the player himself. He's a quality player that hasn't been consistently quality since last year.

Good news on TBH though if thats true Ric?!
