Liam Delap - Ipswich player 2024-25

What a goal from him!

Said he needed a chance and it was a low risk move to start him. Took his chance, he’ll start again vs Burnley.

Think he should be on the bench as well for the league games.
 
The kid can give us that extra dimension to our game and Pep different options. His game will improve being in and around the first team squad and he will learn the dark arts of top strikers from Aguero, just as Foden has improved from Silva and De Bruyne. What a time to be a young player at the club when you get in amongst them in the first team squad
 
He has that combination of pace and power to beat a man that terrifies defenders, still very raw but there isn't many strikers around like him at the minute.

He can only improve under pep too.
 
Has a great touch. Just concerns me that Pep won't have a clue what to do with a player like him. Looked more Aguero in workrate than Jesus
 
Some fucking finish that. It was his «weak foot» as well. You don’t see many 17 year olds with that physicality

His strong foot isn’t too bad either
 
What a finish. A lot of his game needs to be worked on obviously at 17, but was a relief/pleasure to see a forward of ours roughing their players up for once.

Rough up; I hope that's a euphemism for kick the fucking shit out of the horrible cunts. In particular the nasty little scotch twat who gets away with everything.

Would be nice to see Robertson and Trent Darby pushing Delap into the advertising hoardings , Delap would snap them in half.
 
He didn’t get the hat trick I expected, but no one is perfect. ;-)

I am very encouraged with what I saw. He does indeed have similar qualities to Haaland (this is the first opportunity I have had to see him properly in a full match, rather than highlights), if not exactly the same combination of skills or quite the quality just yet. He is very aggressive, exceptionally physical for his age, and confident in his abilities. He was manhandling senior players already well in to their careers. Still rough around the edge and perhaps a *tad* overzealous at times, but I think we need a bit of a ‘bastard’ in the squad.

And he is of course younger than Haaland, which bodes well for him and his prospects for the future, especially as he gives us a different option to Jesus and Aguero — one we have been lacking for awhile now. That option is going to be especially useful with Kev, and now Torres whipping in those inch perfect crosses. It is something that could help change things when our normal tactics are not working.

I look forward to seeing him progress and hopefully getting more minutes in the cups and perhaps off the bench over the course of this and coming seasons.

He has a luminous future if he stays grounded and focused... and he seems to be saying all the right things toward doing that.

Could save City a bit of money, as well.

Perfect rotation option to Jesus.

Offers more of an aerial threat, but both still have that rabid dog mentality to get the ball.

We can't rely on Aguero, even when he comes back because we know his time is done. Make him a super sub and get young hungry blood in.
