2019/20 Fabian Delph

[Real_madras]

While our midfield didn't have the energy, that it did when Gana was playing. It looks calmer and had more control, with two players of high ability. Long may it continue.

Apologies for the huge screenshots.

But yeh, he was good. And the stats back it up.

No disrespect fella but I hate stats , I prefer to make a judgement based on what I see.

And based on what I saw today I thought Delph was very good exactly what we've needed in midfield. Mobile , tenacous and intelligent use of the ball.

My MOTM today as well, thing that impressed me was his awareness when under pressure, some very clever passes got us out of tight spots. Just worried about him getting injured when we don't have Gbamin to come in.

I think he will improve with regular game time and hope he really makes his mark with us, he was the engine for Villa and they dropped like a stone when Citeh nabbed him.

Fantastic game. Like a terrier and can play. More of this please. Could be a new Peter Reid

 

[blueconverse]

Great under pressure, never panics. Can tell hes from city

 

[blue61]

Calm and assured in possession, constantly directing his team mates. A presence we've lacked in central midfield for beards.

 

[zook]

proper footballer, makes the midfield tick, think he’ll be a big help for how we approach away matches too

 

[Jimishorts]

Is class

Is right

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

10 million quid

Stats are useful to back up a judgement, or disprove a judgement. They're just numbers

Delph played well today. He was our best passer (anyone watching could say that) and the stats back that up.

But they're a useful tool to help. They shouldn't be used exclusively, but honestly saying you 'hate stats' is just saying you hate numbers.

Let's not get carried away

Two months younger than Gueye, so to get him for a quarter of the price we sold him to PSG for is very good business.

Doesn’t have Gueye’s ability to hunt the ball down so much, but his positioning, calmness under pressure, passing all above.

Hopefully he can stay fit and form a very good partnership with Gomes

 

[peteblue]

He was excellent today, MoTM.....

 

[tim cahill]

Think Delph and Gomes could work very well together.
