Gerard Deulofeu - Once a Blue, always a Blue

Wish he played with more of a smile on his face, always looked pissed off and it makes me worry he doesn't want to be here.

Makes defenders vanish though, as said above, start him against weaker teams at home and give him freedom to experiment!
 
Can't understand this "not ready" / "start him against weaker teams" business. He is class. Utter class. Just phenomenonally good.

The only thing he is missing a bit of is stamina but the same could be said for a few others last night.

I think you're over rating him a bit, y'know. Maybe he will be one day but at the moment he's not 'phenomenally' anything except weak.
 
Martinez has carefully constructed "development plan" for him.
im sure it is made in good co-operation with Barca.

He really is a diamond in a making

Got to say i side more with 'coach' on this issue. He really is exceptional, in 5 years time people will wonder why we kept him on the bench so much. Same age as barkely and probably even better.

Does need to be fitter and stronger though.

We all see different things in players. I see the good - you see the bad. I like to make positive posts about players - you like to pull them down. Fair enough.

I'm wondering that now and suspect it won't be long (December latest) before most people will be calling for him to start all the time.
 
Deulofeu is a talent,but has to learn that there is more to football than just attacking.
Unfortunately if he were started every week we would lose more than we would win, because of his lack of discipline and defensive work.

Why do you think Barcelona let a player of his talent out on loan ?
So that he could learn to become a better and more rounded player,they obviously think Martinez is a coach that can teach him.

You answered your own question when you said "Can't understand this "not ready" / "start him" and ended it with "The only thing he is missing a bit of is stamina".

Don't act all high and mighty in your posting, it's tiresome.
 
It was noticeable that Martinez had a very long chat with Deulofeu before he came on last night, and that the lads first touch was a PASS inside to, I think, Barkley. It is obvious that Martinez is trying to bring the kids decision making up to speed, without restricting his natural ability. He will play his part this season, and hopeully we could have him next season as well. There will be some exciting things from him, but I don't think he'll start many big games this season. We are also creating an excellent relationship with Barca, which could be a big positive for Everton in the future.
