Player Topic: Fabian Delph (2015/16)

[Machiavelli]

After watching the highlights on motd, when he was celebrating I noticed he looks a lot more comfortable with the rest of the lads.

I must confess to having shouted 'Oh fuck off, Delph' when he let fly from 30 yards! Oh dear!

Now I shouted "have a pop", and you know why ? We just don't do it enough, I'd much sooner us shoot from 35 yards when they have sight of goal, than try and walk the ball into the goal through a packed defence.

2 first half shots from outside the area and 2 goals, both lucky, but if you shoot you might get lucky, if you don't shoot luck never comes into it.

he has the makings of a captain

Probably why he was captain at Villa.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Clearly had a good game today.

Hasn't been fully fit since he arrived yet still folk write him off.

Give him a chance. He brings balance to the side with added energy and bite.

He can't do what Yaya can but that doesn't make him 'shite' or 'bang average'

Lets see how he gets on. I like the lad. The rest of the team swamped him when he scored.

I'm starting to become a Delph fan - great game today

Definitely. We regularly have twice the possession of our opponents so we should just keep peppering the goal and following in for rebounds. The rags scored so many goals by packing the box and getting lucky this way over the last 20 years.

A few of us where I sit had to admit we were getting ready to complain.

Apparently we have scored more goals from outside the box than any other team in the league so far this season. We have enough shots but don't hit the target enough. Only 4 out of 17 shots hit the target today; thankfully they all went in.

It's on the Sky Sports site that we have the most goals from outside the box in the PL, which surprises me. We seem to have the same affliction that Arsenal suffer(ed) from, trying to walk the ball into the goal.
