dudevillaisnice Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 A bit of overreaction on here imo. I thought Delph was no worse than KEA v Norwich, and as others have said, they are too similar to play in the same team. IIRC Delph was MOTM on the Fulham match thread, but one bad game and he's instantly the worst player in the world. Considering how recently he's come back from a career-threatening injury, I think his progress is reasonably good. It doesn't look like he'll be a world beater, but good enough for a place in the squad. It's not just one bad game though is it. I don't think he has progressed at all if anything he has regressed and I don't think he is good enough for the premier league (whether we are intending to stay in the premier league or not he may have a position in the squad based on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Are Delph & KEA both trying to play the same role ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Stated before that Delph and KEA are too similar to play in midfield together and neither one is dynamic enough for one to compliment the other. Really disappointed with Delph though. My mate is a Leeds supporter and told me that we had signed a really good young player. Maybe its the injuries that has stunted his development but he really has shown me nothing to suggest that he will be a success here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Very poor player - when your so called central midfielders come off the pitch without getting shots on target on creating chances it just isn't good enough. Ship him out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 id rather Bannan play ahead of Delph not only is he more attacking with the ball he is less likely to pick up a yellow card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honest_bertie Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 id rather Bannan play ahead of Delph not only is he more attacking with the ball he is less likely to pick up a yellow card agree with that, would rather see Bannan in there at the moment, thought we played better when he was in where Delph has been playing. I have wanted Delph to become the player we originally thought he could be but I think the injuries have taken their toll and it also seems like no-one, including Lambert and Delph himself, quite knows what his position is and what type of player he is, attacking mid, defensive mid? How long has he had out of the game in total over the last few years, 2? Thats a long time, especially at his age, those years could have been the most important in terms of his learning and development, afraid I don't see him being able to make the grade in the prem, good championship player but at the moment thats about it. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Make what you will of the following; of the 31 league games Fabian Delph has featured in for Aston Villa, we have won 8, drawn 10 and lost 13 (34 points from a possible 93). Do I not like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dogshit. Pure Dogshit. One of the worst I have seen in a villa shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 There's been a lot worse to wear the shirt, unless you have a short(ish) memory. I always felt injuries ruined him, then he had a decent start to the season away to West Ham. He was poor against Norwich but then the midfield around him were just as bad. At times he seems to lack the fundamentals and panics in possession. Overall I'm not convinced he's gonna make it, which is a shame as I was very optimistic when we signed him.

Going back 15 - 20 years I cant think of many worse. Though I cant think of a worse Villa side tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I am not convinced this guy can cut it at this level, but for now until January we have no choice to play him as he is all we have in CM atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Herd should start in place of Delph if fit from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Herd? Bannan? Having to choose between the likes of Bannan Delph and Herd is a joke Should be no where near a PL first team they are simply not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
