Gerry deulofeu selfish concerns

aloadofold...... · March 30, 2014

I of course,completely understand those who are frustrated and screaming "Pass the ball" but what worries me much more is that we are not getting anywhere near enuff dead - ball opportunities in threatening positions from free kicks for Bainsey / Kev to exploit . I ,mostly, have no such issue with him taking on lotsa players selfishly as long as his ratio of assists to dribbles improves over time , we really need players offering that threat I would love him to cut inside more though tempting the tired lunge that gives us the free-kick opportunities that have been relatively scarce.Pienaar is sort of a master at that and has gotten us a fair share oh dead-ball chances. So, for me , he can keep on bombing the wing TERRIFYING the full-backs selfishly just needs to add a little variance to the middle and could result in more goals.......Discuss

I think he might drop to the bench for the Arsenal match, with Mirallas or McGeady replacing him. Those two (especially Mirallas) are more inclined to dribble across the edge of the 18 yard box searching for an opening/opportunity to draw a challenge.

i thought he terrifed the opposition with his runs but it was almost a given he wasnt going to pass it everytime he ran at them.

I think he was wasteful, but on a positive note, he is a penalty waiting to happen and I think Bobby has found his best role now, right wing

He put in a dangerous ball across the 6 yard box but nobody made an attempt to get on to the end of it.

This seems to be overlooked when people don't like him because he likes to dribble more often than not.

Same thing every time though he goes on the outside would love to see him cut inside a lot more especially when played on the right like today

He may have been selfish today, but in that 1st half he was the only one who was going to create anything, I thought he did OK today, a few decent balls into the box, he is guilty of over running it at times, but that will come with games.

Distin worries me.... no one else.

Everytime I see him with the ball I get nervous. That millisecond when I pass goes his way I think

' plz no ... plz '

It's almost as if he's not allowed to pass at times. I don't think he fully trusts his team-mates in all honesty.

Lukaku, Barkley, Mirallas... They're all selfish too.

I , actually , love this kid . He is by no means the finished article but he is a game-changer and still feel he is best suited to coming off the subs bench . Berto's problem with that though is the way we play we need to score the first goal and batter them on the counter Deulofeu is the kind of talent that can get you that 1st goal...

Thought he was unlucky in the 2nd half when he was homing in on there goal. Defo pulled back but nothing off the ref. If he wasn't pulled back then he would have been through with a great chance and if we were given the free kick then Baines or Mirallas could have caused problems.

Kid has talent, but he all but takes Coleman's attacks out of the game, which concerns me. I think we are better off with Mirallas. Better scorer and tends to drift in a bit, giving Coleman the wing. Since Deuleuleu has been playing more minutes on the right the runs for Coleman just arent there...he basically goes touch line every time. I'm not sure he is the best fit for us there.
