The last 3 games dell boy started, he was goosed after 50mins.

The last game was city @ etihad in semi and geri fitness let us down that ngt.

All things considered, he is a great game changer and you can't drop lennon. Unless u move him to left

Deulofeu and Lennon could switch from left to right easily enough.

Its just so consistent with Martinez and his erratic selections.

How can Geri go from 'world class' to not even getting on?

Similarly, how can his first choice left in Kone now seemingly not even get in the squad?

Its so erratic.

He can't play a full 90. That being said I think he's gotta come on around 60-65 mins when we are chasing a goal, but we are surrendering leads. Unfortunately, one of the best players we have to protect a lead is the one that's got us there recently (Lennon)
 
Love Gerry's attacking play, but we have just lost a match conceding twice in the last 10 minutes and people are still trying to shoehorn in another defensive liability. Wasn't kev enough for you all last week.

We play 6 defensive players already. If we played Deulofeu he wouldn't be the reason for us being defensively crap. Plus I think he's ok when it comes to helping out defensively, he isn't as good as Lennon but he isn't bad.
 

It surely must be a fitness issue with his difficulty of not lasting the full 90?

They must be working on his fitness behind the scenes and avoiding him being on the pitch until he's 100% ready.

Lennon, Del and Ross behind Lukaku would be my choice right now.

Do you mean that we're building up his match fitness by benching him for 6 weeks?

I don't mean match fitness at all. The only logical explanation is that he must have had some injury niggles and this coupled with his inability to finish matches has meant that they're focusing on that side of things.
 
The best we have ayed this season is with a front mkdfield 3 of c leverley Barkley and Lennon that is when we have looked most cohesive as a unit. Deulofeu will come back though
