Has a few below par games and people thinking he's not as good as last time or Lennon is better ffs he's a younger winger, they scream inconsistent.

....I'm not so sure about him being slower although I do think he's needed games to get up to speed. A couple of times recently he's shown real zip and left a full back in his wake.

A dark day indeed when John "the Alsatian" Terry (h/t @chicoazul) scores on your club in the 98'. BUT...will long remember the look on Del's face as he was sizing up his cross to Funes Mori. Looked like he was thinking "this ball is already in the net, so just stand there and take it you southern scruffs".
His potential is absolutely enormous- could be as good as Ronaldo. Earlier in the season he seemed to be fulfilling this, demanded to be a regular starter rather than substitute. Lately he's dropped off a bit though I would still play him as much as possible as he gets us goals. I think it's part mental - Lukaku tells how his agent told him to stop playing like a woman, and he took note of this, became stronger and his improvement is obvious to see. I think Geri needs a similar change in mental attitude backed up by further physical strength. I'd hate to see him stay at his current level (good though that is). Rascally want to see him best in the world and for us.
Excellent corner for RFM goal. Was a bit weak in his challenges and should have played safe by keeping possession in the dying minutes.

He was naive at the end but he's not much than a kid and I still love him.
....nice video of him on the OS, he seems to buy into the way the club does some fantastic work behind the scenes. Hopefully somebody can post it on here.

His first season he was an unknown quality. Opposition were getting too tight to him so his quick feet allowed him to bypass them like they weren't even there. The problem was, when opponents backed off, or when he beat his man, his end product was quite poor.
This season is totally different. He is a far, far better footballer. Now when opponents back off, he puts in a (more times than not) dangerous delivery. if they get tight to him - Barnsley away, Boro away etc - he beats them and then delivers a dangerous cross.
The lad is absolutely brilliant and, imo, the most talented player at the club.
I just wish he would stop trying to beat players on 97mins away at Chelsea when we are 3-2 up.
That maturity will come though, with age, games and coaching.
Just when I thought my man love for Gerry couldn't get any more, I go and see that.
Think its done him the world of good as well having little breaks with Lennon coming in lately. He will be all the better for it if he can get through this full season relatively injury free.

Spot on mate. He's a nightmare for the reasons you say. He can whip in a boss ball if you stand off him but if you get to close he'll skim you with ease. Thats what i love in a winger, makes me really difficult to deal with and we're reaping the benefits, surely he's in double figure assists?

People have mentioned he looks to have slowed down a bit, which I think is true but not because he's put on too much bulk or anything.
I think it's part tactics in that Martinez would rather him get on the ball deep and whip in an early cross/pass to Rom, and that he's still wary himself of picking up another hamstring strain like the one he picked up in the summer.
Still, he's boss
