Elneny is what he is; an average footballer at best. There's no reason to set a high bar for him.
Yeah I agree. But at some point we need to admit that he is NOT the right man for the job and so we have to look elsewhere. I think some were hoping he could fill in the hole but in reality he is not good enough. Not his fault.
Like Welbeck, he can play a role as a sub when needed to close out the game
Was not bought as a starter, should never be a starter, probably on low wages as well, should be kept around.
Can't believe how he's still better than Xhaka
