What is the story on him, why was he not in the squad?

I thought he was playing..............just putting in his usual anonymous performance.

Dick Knight said that as he wants away in January, MA is experimenting with new formations.

Also, Thomson is not leaving until a replacement has been brought in.

 

[RM-Taylor]

He doesn't want to live here anymore, so maybe keeping him out of the team is the right thing to do?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

He wasn't missed

 

[algie]

Exactly.

He won't put in 100% effort just in case he picks up an injury and fucks up a move in jan.

 

[Don Quixote]

i think it's cos he is shit

 

[fosters headband]

Exactly.

He won't put in 100% effort just in case he picks up an injury and fucks up a move in jan.

So what is the point of DK saying he can't leave until we have a replacement.
If we don't play him because he won't give 100% just let the useless twat go and save his wages.

For the first time tonight I really appreciated thomson. Watching el abd does that to you.

O god he was bad.

He lives in Grimsby ??

 

[RM-Taylor]

He lives in Grimsby ??

you know what I meant

Although if he did, he would have gone even quicker.

El abd is one of the most inept midfielders I have EVER seen play for us. Plenty of people around me totally lost it with him tonight. Sack him under the trades description act I say.

i actually think he does ok in midfield,would rather have him in there than tommo but thats what makes it such a wonderful game how 2 people can have such different opinions

tommo should not play again...one because he is shit and two because if he wants to leave why should he play

Absolute crap, he did a good job in front of the back four tonight.

 

[Lord Large]

Because he is shit?

Are you serious. I thought he was one of the best players tonight. He did exactly what he was put in the side to do. e's not there for flair, he's there to break the game up, and frustrate the opposition, and I think he did pretty well tonight.

 

[backson]

As people say, he does the job, breaks up play and makes the easy pass, nothing fancy. In many cases the easy pass was backwards, but kept possession. I didn't think he did too badly.

I would guess those having a go at El-Abd are likely to be thinking of the times he did give the ball away.

I would also guess they're not thinking that pretty much every time he did, was due to one of our centre backs (who seem to be immune from criticism tonight) passing to him with an opponent on his back. He's not the sort of player who can turn an opponent and then play it forward.

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought that El Abd had a decent game tonight but it is the popular thing to do to slag him off. I thought that Whing has a reasonable game too, probably his best this season

Plenty of people around you are wankers. He was one of our best players tonight in my humble, yet correct, opinion.
