When Greer returns....

[Lord Bamber]

I know El-Abd wasn't great yesterday, but over the course of the season i feel he would be the far better player. I've got nothing against Elphick, as he wins pretty much everything in the air, and makes some massive tackles, but i just don't feel comfortable when he has the ball at his feet, he always looks like he has an error in him, like a couple of times yesterday when he gave possession away poorly. His passing also lets him down a lot, as the majority of the time it is a long ball forward to Murray who has absolutely no chance of getting it as its 30 yards ahead of him.
Just feel that El-Abd is a more reliable player to partner Greer

Funny as reading this is just how i feel about Elphick as opposed to El-abd but when you think about it, they perhaps have the same positives and frailties just seen differently through different eyes? El-Abds passing in the first twenty minutes yesterday left me wondering if someone had taken the L & R stickers off his boots but then I can recall Elphicks passing last year being, shall we say Kamikaze.

Hey ho.
