El-Abd today...

[slimes]

thought he played fantastic,and i agree being 3-1 down to go shit or bust

 

[Harry H]

You mean half a game!

El-Abd was our best player today IMO.

This, our defence fell apart when he went off , his place is guaranteed

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Carroll expects to just overpower any defender, physically humiliating and owning them like a Goliath putting a little schoolboy across his knee.
Notice HIM doing the whinging and bleating to the ref about how unfair it all was that he couldn't get an easy time in our 6-yard box!
That, is Adam el-Abd - the real giant on that pitch.

When opposing strikers are complaining, crying and throwing the toys - be THANKFUL we have el-Abd on our team.

To be fair to the ref he did tell the **** carroll to shut the fcuk up

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

if one paid attention, most of the dancing occurs before the ball is played, so no foul, he is a master of his art.

Not correct as a player can be booked before the ball is played.

That's how I see it too - he should not have been taken off, Navarro should IMHO. El Abd is still my favourite player; the way he plays is more like rugby, like his brother.

El-Abd should be partnering Greer in my opinion

you either do what el-abd does, or you do what dunk did and let carrol use you as a climbing frame as was the case for goal no. 6.

Exactly. If pool did their homework on anyone, it was certainly the ref, who allowed them to shove and bully players off the ball.

Or, you could defend, i.e. Greer. I love El-Abd, and thought he had a good game, but his defending at corners was risky at best, and as I say, with the wrong striker/ref he could have given away countless penalties.

Can't argue with that but he WAS being fouled by El Abd and many a ref would have at least spoken to or booked El Abd and if he'd been penalised with a penalty for some of the hugging and pulling we realy wouldn't have been able to complain.

Overall though he was one of our more committed players and I'm not actually complaining about the way he played, just commenting.

This is the correct answer.
