Player Topic: Fabian Delph (2015/16)

Could be an extremely useful player for us if he stays fit! The xmas period can be vital and if we have a full squad then we are good to go

I like Delph but Fernandinho has been too good to drop. Maybe we'll see more of a 4-3-3 in Europe so we can play with Delph and Fernandinho just behind Yaya.

It's nothing to do with dropping Fernandinho, it's to do with resting the poor sod. He'll be knackered by the turn of the year if we don't.

Delph first of all needs a run of games to get over this hamstring problem. I think he can be as good as Fernandinho, and if his fitness holds I see him replacing Toure in the big matches. Different type of player of course

I too thought Delph had a decent game. He hasn't played much football since he joined us - we all know about his injuries - so he needs a run of games.
Also agree that when he went off - Spain did seems to find more space. I just read on Newsnow that the Villa trolls are 'hammering' Delph for his display and the writer of the article is saying Carrick 'carried' Delph. Not in my opinion he didn't.

For me he's got to start against Liverpool, him and Fernandinho sitting back

He didnt train this morning.
So thats Kompany and Delph injured from this international break.

If Kun and Silva are back to full fitness though thats all that really matters.
90% of games we should win if we have Kun, De Bruyne and Silva all fit so small injuries to Delph is something i can live with.

He seemed to have a hamstring problem during the Spain game, but continued playing so I assumed it was nothing.

It'll be annoying if he aggravated the injury by carrying on unnecessarily.

Our treatment for these repeated hamstring and calf injuries is not looking very effective. Delph has become another liability and we have too many already.
