I agree on that - he has all the ability to be much better.
However, I don't think it is down to a lack of gametime. He's had plenty of it since the start of 2016 but he's been consistently underwhelming.
How you can say Del is brilliant yet then slate Bolasie as useless in the same breath confuses me though :/
Well according to the United world, they completely dominated the game!!
Not what I watched, they played hoof as mush as we did, and decided to park the bus 2nd half and spent the whole half wasting time and clearing everything long.
Even in the first half, created little chances and failed to use the fact that we where complete garbage !!!
Played 10 games, only starting 2 isn't plenty of game time for a years worth of football mate, and I've not said he is brilliant, I said he was better than Bolasie (who I just don't rate AT ALL) although he has the potential to be brilliant.
Bolasie is the archetypical YouTube footballer, you can make him look fantastic with a highlights reel - when in the light of day he's a head down speed merchant who offers nothing bar hit & hope crosses. He's a bulkier worse version of Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ashley Young. You may as well stick a cardboard box on his head with 2 holes cut-out, that's how much of the game he sees.
He's featured in much more than 10 games since January mate...
And exactly the same can be said about Deulofeu. In fact, moreso. Bolasie works harder for the side than Del does.
I want Del to do well, but his display yesterday peed me right off. Hope he comes good if he gets a run, but not confident he will.
I think it's a difference in football upbringing. Deulofeu was brought up in the Barcelona system which does preach precision. Despite his shortcomings as a player this will be what he's striving for.Or what I like to call 'hit & hope'.
Because as opposed to lumping it into a general area, he picks his head up and looks for a man. Which is why he hardly crossed it yesterday as there was nobody there. Most of his play was short passes back into the middle or back to Holgate, he even took it all the way straight across the front of the 18 yard box himself and gave it to Baines looking for an attacking outlet.
Rather than lump it and lose possession he chose for us to keep it and to play football with it. That's called footballing intelligence, something Bolasie doesn't have.
Good theory. The problem is that Coleman, apart from being the youngest, was the closest to being in form of our aging defence.I tell you what, Holgate was solid when he came on. Not surprising he was playing when we were firing start of the season. Probably a blessing Coleman got injured as our defence is crumbling from age. Youth is what we need!
Agree we need a top class keeper but will be very surprised if it is Hart.
In other news, expect two coming in from United in January.
I hope he whispered in his ear (don't worry we wont play this way when you sign in January)I noticed RK gave Juan Mata a very big hug after the game yesterday
