Sorry Dax but that's bollocks. He wasn't out jumped for the goal, he got caught sleeping on the wrong side of the attacker.

He's very lucky Everton couldn't finish.

I see it differently I suppose.

He was helping out on the striker Lewin. His man was Walcott, who was back post.

Walker and Ota with their sloppty play onthe right left 3 men in the box. first error.

Delph then tried to keep a high line to catch some of the strikers offsides, but Laporte didn't read that correct decision and dropped really deep. Second error.

Delph then drops, but holds the space between the 2 free players then attacks the ball when it came in. Is this an error? Sure. You should always defend the most central attacker when caught btw 2.

But of all the errors in that sequence, Delph's was the least eggregious.
 
I’m a big fan of Delph but he’s beginning to worry me as a defender. He was impetuous when he came on against Hoffenheim and made quite a lot of errors today.

Pardon my ignorance but does anyone know when Mendy is expected to be back?

He’s far from perfect but I do believe he’s an upgrade on Delph and Zinchenko.

Our achievements were down to the team as a whole, I think people get seriously carried away with Delph's performances last season. He did a job and kept it simple but no more than that imo. Big teams will target him and he'll get found out is all I'm saying. I'd just hate to see this exceptional team fall short, especially in the Champions League because we failed to address one or two weak areas.

He did a job when no-one else could,he earned that 100pts as much as the others,you are lamenting we don't have enough cover and you are right but lay that at peps door if you must put it somewhere
