Mohamed Elneny: Pyramid Pirlo

[GDeep™]

In what way shape or form is the current Elneny (this seasons form) too limited? Hade some amazing passes last night, why doubt him when he is currently showing an improved version of himself?

This narrative is very strange.

His passing is very limited. What’s so strange about that?

The other thing regarding the general opinion of Elneny is based on his looks and nationality honestly. The same player with a different head, haircut and a more prominent football nationality would've gotten different treatment to begin with whether we like it or not.

Shaking the table!!

It really isnt, his passing is one of his strongest attributes. The problem has been that he has been to cowardly and safe while playing, could be Wengers instructions or lack of self confidence. Arteta seems to remove that bit by bit.

My point is that he should not be labeled as limited when he is proving himself in this great form. Lets trust him, and see if he keeps it up or if it is a false prophecy.

That's a new title for sure!

@Trilly

Give it a few more games.

Oxi and say yes liking your post, the terrible triangle completed.

Actually laughed out loud, still laughing ffs looool.

How I read a post when I see @Jury and @Oxeki have liked it.

He was like that in his first 6 months with us. Immediately fixed our midfield. We had overall better midfield options back then though.

As I said, he was always a good passer, rarely made errors. I dont remember him having the qualities he showed on Sun when he first joined though. As I asked another poster, how come we got him for £5m if he was such a good midfielder?

Someone updated hos Wikipedia-page

"He is known for his magical performance against Manchester United on 1 November 2020, keeping Pogba and Bruno Fernandes quiet in the match

To date Elneny has only really shown to a squad player, nothing wrong with that, his always been dependable when called upon.

Yesterday he showed something more and was actually a reason for the win.

But until a few months ago we were all hot on Ceballos. Credit to Elneny though, we all need two max out of Xhaka / Ceballos and Elneny has dragged himself into that fight.

That’s quite some level of arrogance you’ve cultivated there, lad. That beep test post has boiled your piss hasn’t it? Keep it up and hopefully you’ll disappear completely up your own batty ‘ole!

I’d give him a chance now. It’s not like Xhaka or Ceballos have set the world alight this season.

You will never, ever, ever rattle me.

It's just a bit of fun, I actually like you and Oxi outside of the Özil thread.

Seriously? how am I supposed to answer that? That’s what Stats DNA was for, obviously it did its job for once. How did we get Vieira for 3 mill , how did Pool get Coutinho for 8. Sometimes they get it right.

I think Elneny deserves the plaudits a bit extra now, he was getting memed here by the bum squad and usual suspects before even touching a ball this season.

To say that he was anything more than a bum would be a lie. We can now talk about the improvements in his game, but we shouldn't rewrite history after a couple of good games.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Hopefully he continues into the future with some of the things I saw him doing in the United match, e.g. running forward with the ball for once. We might be seeing the first Arteta effect on a player.

Cheers, I’m truly honoured!

Like Busquets?

He ran forward because it seems like him and Partey has an understanding.

I don’t think it’s that or just that.

Elneny was one of our best player for 2017/18 and deserved far more respect from fans.......... I knew that we were crashing out of the UEFA cup the moment he got injured. It's not that Arteta improved him a lot, it's that Emery did something to ruin Elneny cause under Wenger he has always been a competent squad player at the very least.
