Gerard Deulofeu

Not to be facetious, but can we actually afford to take a gamble on him with such imposing fixtures coming? He's no an longer inexperienced lad.

On his day Deulofeu can be unplayable and a real impact, but in the majority of games he can be quite underwhelming and fail to exert himself.

It's a difficult one really as deep down I feel he has the skill and charisma that we need, however right now I don't trust him enough to do it.


we will lose every game otherwise if he doesnt start next 4 and feed lukaku
 
...he'd always be one of the first names on the team sheet for me but he's not grasped his opportunity this season which is a real disappointment. Perhaps RK has simply found him and a few others out.
 
Frustrates the life out of me how he puts his foot on the ball and stands still waiting for the defender to commit before doing anything instead of just running at his man.

It might work for Messi, but Messi he is not. There was one time he did that today after we'd just had a decent chance, their defence was all over the place and we had men in the box. It completely killed all momentum we had and gave them the ball.

Having said that, at least he tried a few forward passes into feet (although the he was overdoing the tippy tappy stuff), and he put a couple of decent balls in too.
 
Found him out how though? He has the talent so I'm guessing you mean fitness and/or application?

....I think RK demands more from his players than simply having talent. It's what the best provide, week in week out. Perhaps we've seen Deulofeu and Barkley produce instances of magic and been taken in but if we are to have a top team moments of magic now and then are not enough.

An indication might be to ask why neither of these players are linked with the top clubs or pursued by top managers.

A very good point re the media links. An obvious change for me is for Barkley to replace Barry, sign a proven centre attacking midfielder and get Del game time.
 
...I suspect both will be replaced by the type of players RK wants.
or simply replace RK - he imo is deliberately sending us down the league to tell morishi he needs big money well his attitude is as bad as the players he selects over 30 years of age in goal Stek - Baines past it -Williams and Jags combination - Barry add those ages up 150 yrs old !!!!!!!!!!!
