Strange substitution last night unless Del is even less fit than he looks. He still needs to work on a few things and make sure he's usually on the same wavelength as the players around him but I'd start him whenever we can though because if that side of his game picks up then he's one of the most exciting players I've seen here. Plus he is pressing when not on the ball and our momentum and discipline on the right dipped badly when KM replaced him.

He had stopped running mate, he had to be replaced.

A couple of mins before he was subbed he singled that he was absolutely knackered. Think the lad wanted to be subbed.

Didn't spot that. Obviously does still need to up his fitness. Maybe be next season before we see just how good he is

The last two seasons he was never a regular starter for both us and Sevilla.
He's been a regular starter for us in a demanding League, he'll get used to it.

Remember when we had Romelu on loan, he wasn't used to completing 90mins every week, but you can see a huge difference in him now, Geri will get to that level of fitness eventually.

I was pretty impressed that he was constantly chasing and pressing so hopefully that level will come. Possibly needs to stay on a few games even when he is shattered. Obviously not last night though.

However i doubt people complain about Neymar doing it every game when Barca are winning leagues, think he just needs to be a bit smarter....

wrong. i complain, and the guys i go the game with do also. whether its neymar or alves or alba. plenty people who sit around me too and also a lot of the other fans I know.

its wrong in any team. too much pointing the finger at other clubs and players when its in almost every game now. whether its diving or just overacting. pienaar and arteta collapsing at the slightest touch or Deulo and Neymar rolling and yelling. Its all crap cheating and unfortunately everywhere now.
 
Tricky one with Geri. I think he needs to play every week to get his fitness up and get up to a consistent level performance wise. Didn't think he was great last night hut put a shift in for the team. Hes in and out of the team to keep him fresh but that needs to managed to get best out of him. also needs to knows when to press and when not to. Few times last night he ran across the pitch to press on his own and didn't make any impact. He learns when he should sit in on the right and conserves his energy for the next attack we may see him actually last a game.
 
Wasn't his best game last night, the substitution was correct. But overall he seems to be more mature than ever now, he works hard even if it doesn't go his way.

The city fans were taking this piss out of his screaming last night, mimicking it, was pretty funny, listening to the game again on Sky+ whoever was doing the commentary was almost laughing at it when he got tackled right in front of the Bullens in the second half.
 
Thought he worked really hard last night, he always looks like he can unlock a defence. We pressed a lot more as a team actually which probably explains both why we looked a lot better but also why we picked up a few injuries!
