I’m not sure I think there’s a good player in Adama he showed that last year. He’s just struggled this year.

He didn’t work at his game. He has a lot of raw talent but he never developed it. In a way he’s a much shitter version of Gabby, who really had it all (could score left and right foot, great in the air and blistering pace) but never took the big step to the next level. Another who focused way too much on bulking himself up instead of working on being a better all round striker. It too away his speed and athleticism and made him predictable.

I’m not convinced on that. His game showed growth last year, but for whatever reason he’s slipped back this year.

That’s right. Last season he was being celebrated any time Wolves were on TV. That should have been his platform to advance and he hasn’t. I might be wrong but along with just the physical observations he doesn’t seem to have that desire to progress and is much more easily marked out of games now.

Me too.  Thinks he’s a flawed “Top-4” player.

Traore (the Wolves one) is back to looking like he's not actually a footballer. Every time I've seen Wolves he's done bugger all, and thankfully he kept that up against us.

It's like it's written for Elmo.
Ramadan ends and he's got perhaps a final few matches to play.
Hoping he does well today as was assured Vs Everton was a decent headed threat as ever on the corners and mainly composed putting a couple of nice crosses in
His age is against him but can't fault his effort not sure he'll last 3 games in a week but it's fitting he'll get some game time before the season end. Be also good (outside of youth cup finals- go on villa!!) to give Kesler some minutes too.
Interesting to see what position he and club take in summer with him.

Concern is the pace and positioning being caught out but hope experience shines through today

I don't mind Elmo playing the last few games, especially if he's leaving come the summer. Been a great servant to the club, and also one of our best crossers of the ball in my opinion.

Going to be pretty tough to get anything out of Spurs/Chelsea (though I'd love to smash both of em!), so let him have a little run in the team as a swansong I say.

It would have been great to give him a send off like we did with Hutton.

Could do a job for a decent side in the Championship. Been a good player for us.

A good egg.

Useless for second goal.

Been a good servant but time to let him leave, no sentiment.

Slightly harsh blaming Elmo for the 2nd goal. Don’t think he knew too much about it.

I think it was the lethargic trudge back into the box rather than a sprint to help out Konsa that I'd be moaning about.

Turned away from the shot though, deflections tend to happen as a result. Konsa was beaten far too easily by Zaha for me in the first instance.
