Gerard Deulofeu

[BlueToff]

What injury did he have? He seemed fine when he came off against West Brom.

he got a knock in training apparently mate.

And I think yesterday was just horses for courses. Ron wanted Kone to come on and hold up the ball which, in fairness, he did (despite being crap).

Del wouldn't have done that.

You've got to question why a young professional footballer isn't already match fit for 90 minutes right from pre season. Bad attitude it says to me

It's got nothing to do with being match fit or having a bad attitude.

He got a knock in training before Yeovil, that was it.

Hes a selfie loving little twerp that will be playing for Tenerife or Malaga within 2 years.

You are probably right and then one of the big boys a few seasons after that. I suspect he will have a similar career path to Nolito.

I have no problem with him bringing Kone on. It probably was the right change.

Aaron Lennon scored 5 goals in 26 games for that same bang average side last season.

Now i'm not saying Lennon is the answer but it terms of overall contribution to the team, attitude and work ethic i know which of the two would get in my team.

We were awful when Lennon was playing for us and played our best football when Deulofeu played. We just self destructed at the back.

Nar, hes 4 years away from retiring to start a selfie and gay dog company.

He will be important for us season I think, just needs to work on his fitness which Koeman is doing with the whole squad. Hopefully start seeing the best out of him.

I think ronaldo can afford to do that tho. What with his 35 Goals and 20 assists every season. Gerri is no ronaldo, but I think he actually does think he is sometimes

He actually has very similar stats than Ronaldo at this point of their careers. Ronaldo has slightly more goals and Gerry more assists.

That post is one of the funniest things i've read on here EVER!

He needs a manager that will play his as a 10 and not force him to track back all day.

Well it's true. Some of the football we played from October to early January was fantastic.

Our defense was just a shambles.

Yip.

I would hope Ronald will be able to organise the defence well enough so that our most skilful and creative player can concentrate on attacking the opposition rather than having to "track back" all game long.

And the only one who can play pass between defenders so Rom isn't forced with having to bulldoze through 2 or 3 defenders.

My apologies, you've just topped it.

We played well 3 times the whole of last season.

Southampton away, City and Chelsea in the cups, other than that no.
