Condimentalist Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I thought he was poor today and he's not having a great season but for the prior 18 months he's showed what he's about. One of my favourite players, just needs to find his stride a bit over the next few weeks, though he's not alone in that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 he was awful today. kept playing lazy balls and losing possession. but he will get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I generally like him, so I am all the more disappointed in his form lately, He is a shadow of what he is capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 He really is overrated, would have no problem cashing in on him in the summer. Offers nothing and all ive seen him do today was set up a Leicester chance Harsh. He won a lot of the ball today. I thought he was very energetic especially in the 2nd half. Some people are so harsh, they remember when a player loses the ball but never seem to remember when they win it back. Delph won the ball at least 3 times in the 2nd half when Leicester were essentially starting a counter attack. Such important challenges. Not saying he was brilliant today but he did put a shift in. He can certainly play a lot better though! Agreed. Also a lot of people watch the ball, and pay most of their attention, if not all of it, to assists and goals or exciting looking runs forward. A lot of things get missed, simple passes that led to an assist, or made space, and work off the ball. I had a guy who used to play at a decent level tell me that football is ruined (not literally of course) for him now because he'll miss a goal watching everything else happening on the pitch!

rodders0223 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Massively lacking in confidence. I lost count of how many times he picked the ball up in 10 yards of space, and I was begging for him to just run at people. Just wants to play the simple balls at the minute.

He's trying to dictate the tempo of the game which I don't think he is capable of. He just needs to use his energy and speed and make the runs at defenders and into space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Play the afro in midfield to do the defensive work and tell Delph to get forward and take people on. He needs to be further up the pitch to be at his most effective. Sitting on the halfway line trying to pick 50 yard passes isn't his strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If he puts in another display like yesterday then he needs dropping. He has been real bad in the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Woody will have Delph playing in a more advanced position from now on. I did a double take when he had a free header in yhe box yesterday, how often have we seen him actually in the penalty area? If he and Gil can form a good understanding, the goals should start flying in. Lets hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree, he can pick a pass from midfield which not many others can do. He will be fine just needs to play further up the pitch and can see this happening under Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be fine just needs to play further up the pitch and can see this happening under Timmy I'm more than aware of how good he can be but in the past few games he has been terrible, also I've rarely seen him make a long pass and don't count expansive passing as one of his strengths.

heid3ster Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 He just needs to go back to what he's best at - running at other players with the ball at his feet. He's been far too stationary this season, barely moves once he receives the ball, spraying passes out wide. We've got other guys to do that. It's not Delph's strength. Back to the mazy dribbles, please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just saying that he doesn't think we'll be relegated. He's saying he's confident we won't be - so confident that he signed the contract.

AntrimBlack Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have posted this before, but how could he not think relegation was a possibility. Does not ring true. I had suggested that perhaps there were no other offers, or if there were, they were unwilling to match what we were willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
