Gerard Deulofeu

[Khalekan]

There's a reason he never got a look in at Sevilla and there is a reason Bobby keeps taking him out the team. Has all the raw ability in the world, exciting to watch, but he's either fantastic, or crap. Top teams don't bother with that risk, they go for consistency.

Will be a top player when/if he finds a consistent level.

You could say the same about Rom.....he has as many stinkers as great games.

Ditto Barkley......ditto Stones.

Del should br thriving here.....if we had a manager could organise a defence without expecting our most creative player to spend half his time "tracking back" then he might recapture the sparkle he showed earlier this season.

At the moment though he us caught up in the same general malaise which us afflicting all our players.

But at least he carried the game to them yesterday.

Matt cheetam works for sky as a stats man he is s good blue I'm not on Twitter but look at his tweets this is from December 22

Tiny sample size compared to these, but Deulofeu averaging an assist every 173 mins in first year-and-a-half in PL: https://twitter.com/orbinho

.....excellent, thanks for that. I'm a big fan of Deulofeu.

Any position Cleverly plays he is shoe-horned into it. This is because he has no position, because he is not a footballer.
Tbf, he actually had a decent game yesterday, one of his best for the club at 6/10.
Tom Cleverly on Football Manager, in reality, would have no attribute over 8/20, he does nothing to a high-level. Bog standard or poor in every attribute. Need to get rid. £50k a week! Stealing a living because he was a MUFC graduate.

I am over being Man Utd's feeder club with our best players, and then destination point for their players that aren't good enough to take them to the top.
Hopefully those days are over.

Look at Howard and Osman in the background grassing somebody up to Jags.

It does indeed mate. The three lads plotting Bobby's downfall is a thing to behold. Bet Ossie will be the next to put the knife in.

That conversation'd been going for 10 minutes already and Gibbo still hasn't turned around fully.
Turns slower than milk that boy, clearly why he wasn't able to avoid the cyclist

Ossie is texting with the hidden phone in his pocket - direct to Bill.

"changing of the old guard" is what that picture says to me.

Was Niasse there training or was he used just as the ball boy mate

Surely in order to be a ball boy you need to be able to actually have SOME control of a football?

Needs to be in the team, striking that chemistry with Lukaku again, terrorising opposition defences if we are any chance in the FA Cup I feel.
Otherwise, all too predictable how this season is going to end.
