Right, I'm Adel's biggest fan, and I think he's been amazing for us this season and has the potential to be one of the best players in the world. But for the last couple of months he hasn't been half the player he was earlier in the season, e.g. vs Reading, Preston and Swansea at home.
I know you can say he's been out of form but I think it's more than that, because, as he said, his goal at the start of the season was to score 20 goals, and after Watford he said he has 1 game left to score his 20th, but when he came on vs Leeds on Saturday he had no intention of scoring that 20th1.
Is it because the late passing of his cousin? Or does he still have a problem with his stomach muscles? Or is there too much expectation on him to do something spectacular? I know he's been scoring like vs Cardiff and Watford but he just hasn't been that same player, he doesn't look like he has any confidence to go past his man, maybe Savage took his mojo that night vs Derby.
Just wondered if anyone else noticed this? Well you must've.
And I'm suddenly doubting if he CAN really do it in the Premiership, because we can't play a system that revolves round him next season (if he's still at the club), we have to play 4-4-2 and he'll have to go on the wing, and so he'll have to work (which I doubt he will) and teams like Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal will of course exploit this.
