ryanvilla_1994 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'd bench him.. surely Gardner couldn't be any worse? This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boumasbabies Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 this also, when's jenas back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 His tackling is dangerous. Twice in the game yesterday he scissored...will end up getting sent off or injured. He needs to be taken out out of the team as unfortunatelty he isn't coping at present. Could still be a good player....but he needs to learn.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Delph can be a very good player I think. But he isn't that at the moment. I'd agree with the comments about giving Gary Gardner a chance. One thing I've seen so far from McLeish which impresses me though: he doesn't seem afraid to drop players underperforming. We saw it with N'Zogbia, we saw it with Ireland, we saw it with Makoun in an extreme way. So Delph must be impressing McLeish in other areas, or McLeish genuinely feels from training that he can suddenly find his feet and impress us all, otherwise I don't think it'll be too long before we do see a change. Maybe the introduction of Jenas will be what McLeish feels we need, but from all the talk of Gardner I can't see what harm it can do to give the kid a chance.. I don't think it's particularly added pressure when the player he's replacing is not up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think Bannan will turn out to be the better midfielder so I'd rather be giving him time. A midfield of Ireland-Petrov-Jenas isn't too bad and Bannan can come on for Ireland later. I think Delph should be a LM where he can have more time on the ball because he always seems to nervous on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 As many have said he seems to struggle with his first touch and has a bad habit of draging the ball sideways and slightly backwards to get controll of the ball. IMO he needs a break and I would replace him with Gardner to check his style out. Bannan needs to play instead of Heskey. Jenas doesn't seem to be back fit enough soon enough!

dudevillaisnice Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Is he really PL standard? I honestly do not see it. Waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Is he really PL standard? I honestly do not see it. Waste of money. it's looking that way at the minute, he can turn it around, he's still young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Fabian, good grief son. Can't even control a simple pass anymore. Is it nervousness that's doing this to him or what? He was excellent in the first 2 or 3 games, and the back end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 he was injured at the back end of last season, wasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The only times I've seen Delph play well for Villa is when he has played in an attacking midfield role. He's playing most of his football in Villa's half at the moment and it doesn't suit his game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 just before the run-in he got a couple of games in midfield, and a few more at LB..and he was decent if not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Utter dogs jizz, I see nothing in him to warrant us paying out what we did for him. Needs to be dropped, we have players far better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah wasn't good Surprised he never got sent off, the way he kept flying in after his yellow. The one thing he did get right was time the rest of his challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 To be fair, he got into the game in the second half - was one of our better players at that stage. Still, was dire in the first half and needs to show improvement quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Poor player, shouldve been sent off as well. Why make poor tackles on a yellow card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 To be booked inside 150 seconds is simply not acceptable I do think he's being played out of position though, he's an ACM Second touch is a sliding tackle at the moment, needs to step it up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 He should have gone to Cov on loan and we should be playing Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 He put in three crosses on the bounce and not one lifted above waist height. Certainly does'nt seem to be the player he was built up to be when we bought him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
