I dont see where a dramatic change of form is ever gonna come from him. He's been plodding along since about decemeber last year.
This whole 'Elano was only good for half a season' malarky has always been a bit of a myth in my eyes. As an entire side City slumped around the second half of the season and I guess as Elano had spearheaded their successful start he got more flak than anyone else. Even in that part of the season he still looked a class player in terms of vision and passing range. This season Ireland's been on top form and Robinho is a guaranteed start when he's fit so he's struggled to get in on the action. Isn't a question of form at all imo.
