I really like El-Abd, he seems to give his all everytime and is a great defender. However his ability on the ball is a bit worrying, he looks very nervous and if it wasn't for this I would say he was Prem material. I remember reading that Steve Cotterill had a similar problem with Mo Camara (a powerful defender whose footballing ability wasn't up to scratch) so made him practice his crossing a ridiculous amount after training. Apparently this seemed to work and his play improved. Could the same be done ith El-Abd?
