Fabian Delph - 2018/19 Performances

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I think we got a miracle season out of him last year. Not to be repeated.

Yup, certainly looks like it. It’s like him and Walker are having their own private ‘who can make the most brainless challenge’ competition this season

They were definitely brainless last year when we were knocked out of the cup.

 

[Clercqs]

I like the lad but think he's played his last minutes here. He's been pretty shocking this whole season apart from the first month.

 

[BlueLook]

ah well, I had hopes for him to be a back-up midfielder with this lurking transfer ban ...

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Not good at all at the moment

 

[Mike S]

The very best footballers have a football brain plus ability. That’s two boxes that Fabian doesn’t tick. He puts a shift in but there is always a mistake or a lunge or a red mist moment just around the corner.....

 

[Trojan1962]

The lad has not played competitive football for a long time, since the Leicester game and a very brief appearance midweek. Look at other players who have returned from a lengthy lay off they are given time. Delph is a good footballer being played out of position, that lunge he did yesterday which resulted in a penalty is due to rustiness, a person doesn’t become a bad player over a few months. He is 29 so not too old and I would like to see him in the midfield where he starred for England earlier on in the season particularly where we are light in the absence of Kevin and Fernandinho.

I wonder with Delph if it is just the lack of games through injury that is the big problem?

Walker is a different kettle of fish.

 

[FCBarca]

I simply believe this underscores the need for a legitimate alternative to B.Mendy at LB

Walker is a different kettle of fish.

Walker has a lot in the bank to more than compensate. Sure he has weaknesses but I think he has always put in a good shift and frankly is a very good player as is Danilo.
Delph has been played out of position for a long time, had injuries but have fans forgotten the contribution he made last season? He’s made more mistakes this season but has hardly had chance to play that much. What is frustrating with him is the continual injuries whereas I suspect Kyle has been playing through injury.
I have been at MCFC not far off 50 years and now this is the best I have ever seen and a lot of this has to be down to the togetherness of the squad and I think for once some people should replicate that and lay off the hyperbole.
