Even more impressive considering the difference in style of play, city often spending a lot of the game passing the ball around the defense where as villa was typically the underdogs fighting for points.
Doesn't take into consideration the times he loses possession through brainless dribbling straight into an opposition player or the times he traps the ball 10 yards away.Delph's pass completion rate for last season in the Premier League is very similar to David Silva, better than Lampard & Milner & the same as City's. He does that playing for Aston Villa who have a lower pass success rate than City.

I'd disagree to a certain degree I think Delph does lose the ball more than our other players. But it is where he is losing it. He rarely loses it in a bad area and 9 times out of 10 he's taking risks to create goal scoring opportunities circa January 2015. I think he good be a good buy for us with the 3 we have there that rarely give the ball away they may rub off on Delph and help his game.Everyone loses the ball through doing something wrong, doesn't matter which particular reason. Delph is not bad in possession.
Facts are facts. He's no worse at losing the ball than a typical City player, & that is when playing for Aston Villa. For England, his pass success rate appears to be better, & no doubt it would be better still in City's team, by some distance I should imagine.

Yeah fair one I'm a little surprised how he's come on the last 18 months. A Villa mate of mine and I watching Villa V Bradford in the pub when they got beat in the Semi and without a shadow of a doubt he was the worst player on the pitch. Amazing and surprising transformation of form since then. On current form I wouldn't mind the player.But he doesn't lose the ball more than our other players. Not an opinion, just the fact. As I've said. More than people like Yaya & Nasri yes, roughly the same as Silva, & less than Lampard & Milner. Same pass success rate as our team, but he does it playing in Villa's team.
Same coach as Mo?Yeah fair one I'm a little surprised how he's come on the last 18 months.

I'm surprised that Lampard loses the ball more too.
