Thought he did fine today, played some nice passes. Didn’t win us the game but also didn’t cost us

Delph was fine apart from a couple of poor passes. The other midfielders were anonymous that's why it's easy to pick on his mistakes.

Why was he laughing with Arteta after the game, we’d just got beat

What do you want him to do? Chin him?

Gomes was joking with the Arsenal players all the time but we wont give him stick (and rightfully so) because we like him.

Delph was anonymous. Didn't even see him helping our defenders out at all. It was like he was hiding and trying to have as little of the ball as possible, just like Sigurdsson does each match. Another signing that absolutely stinks.

 

[Carlito]

I can't believe he's only 30. The dynamism that he showed at Villa is completely gone.

The injuries look like they have ruined the best part of his game, his energy used to be what stood out, now he barely leaves a ten yard square.

He was at fault for their 3rd goal. Had an easy pass to make and dawdled and was robbed of possession. I know that they still had a lot to do and others were also to blame (Sidibe - not getting close enough to his man) but, give possession away cheaply and you invite pressure and (sooner or later) we pay the price. Also, he's a crab!

 

[judge]

Oh yeah.....and why, when he passes a ball, does he have to hit it so weakly that the receiving player has to wait half a second or so for it to arrive. In the modern game of fine margins, that half a second is all the opposition needs to close down whatever opportunity may have been there. I reckon he does it on purpose because he thinks it makes him look cultured ('i'm so good i don't have to break sweat, i can just nonchalantly spray passes around'). Or mebbe i'm being too kind and the truth is - he doesn't have enough skill to hit a firm and accurate pass!

 

[Carlito]

It's particularly noticeable when it's him and Schneiderlin playing together, as there inevitably comes a point where the opposition realises that they're a pair of sitting ducks against even the most basic, straight-line runs in behind.

It's honestly worse than the Neville and Heitinga days.

 

[DanEFC92]

Just don't know what he offers.

 

[Axlswhk]

Just don't know what he offers.

definitely Silva signing. Crap manager signs crap players.

 

[carolinablue232]

He’s fine as a squad player. Better option than Davies. Just cant be a regular anymore.

 

[Zatara]

He’s fine as a squad player. Better option than Davies. Just cant be a regular anymore.

Davies is fine next to Gomes.

Delph is useless.

Delph was far from anonymous in the second half, when he appeared to have been moved by CA into a Gareth Barry-esque role, involving filling in the space between the two CBs to provide them with the option of an easy, safe, pass when being pressured.
