Gerard Deulofeu

[whiteshadow]

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.

I get your point but to me, look at how few games he's started and yet he's the player with most assists. We should be playing him more, not because he's always great, he isn't, but because even when he's not great he's capable of a moment of magic and that's all it takes.

Everyone still panicking about that Barca buyback clause?

Add him to the long list of first team players who look shot of confidence and poorly managed

 

[Dario Terracotta]

It'll take him a few games to get back on track,the clown in charge took him out of the side when he was starting to fire on all cylinders.

 

[ijjysmith]

Love him to peices but ruddy hell he was off it today.

But then everyone was really.

Good point this.

No, and hurray for that, as still convinced this lad is top drawer.

Yeah, awful today, but I think he'll be great.

He needs to be playing regularly to get the best out of him.

What has happened to Deulofeu? First half of the season he was superb. He's been awful recently.

All players suffer periods of poor form mate.

Coupled with the lacklustre form of the entire team and manager, and we'll maybe see the best of him in the coming years?

 

[Verbal Kint]

Simple explanation...


He's been Martinezed

 

[KevMirallas]

Was boss, got put on the bench for months, lost all form. Real shame.

I get that but it's been such a dramatic downturn in form. I'd say he was probably the most dangerous right winger in the league in the first half of the season. Now he's probably the least effective.

Yep, he was dropped for Lennon but he should have got more time from the bench.

According to SSN, Deulofeu has come out in support of Martinez. He is very happy with the coach, apparently. Definitely a starter against the RS with Lennon injured!

 

[Tubey]

Was fantastic, had a blip, benched for Lennon, hasn't had a consistent run in the side since, and when he has played it's been part of that team.

I have no concerns about him whatsoever.
