Fabian Delph - 2018/19 Performances

[Dax777]

Folks need to stop saying he is a CM playing LB. He is a leftback who had a bad game. FFS, playing fullback isn't rocket science. Walker who has played there all his life didn't fair much better on the other side.

Sometimes players just don't play well. Has fuck all to do with the position. Especially not a position theyve played over 50 times.

He had a bad day. He'll get better.

I wonder if he's fully fit ?

The problem is Delph is exposed in every game against half decent opposition and Saturday was no exception.

Seem to remember his first game at LB vs Chelsea where I thought he was MotM.

Last season he played there beyond all expectations. This season he just hasn’t been as solid. Also pretty much everyone was begging him to come back into the side when mendy suddenly had 5 brain farts a game.

I’d love a traditional LB in his place, but if we didn’t have delph, we’d be fucked.

This is clearly ban untrue statement. I know we are dissapointed. But shit happens. Chelsea is a good team and we are a bit stretched at the moment.

It's time lots of us come down to earth. We have a fantastic team but it's not unbeatable. Other good teams can beat us on their good day.

It looks like hes just in a bad run of form unfortunately.

I think we need natural LB in January if possible. Delph has done decent job in the position but hes been playing there for over a year in a row now basically, which really shouldn't have been the case. Decent back up in my opinion so the real problem is Mendy who is never available.

Lost his man in the box 3 times.

1st time Richarlison tried to volley instead of heading.
2nd time was the goal
3rd time Walcott put it over from 5 yards out.

Not good enough today.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Surely LB in January.... Delph not good enough

Yeah, he's starting to be exposed a bit. Teams are catching on

Either he has to learn that facet of playing fullback or we have to bring someone in
