Gerard Deulofeu

He turned the game for us to day what a performance! Hopefully he can do that against prem opposition.

He really was something else today. Made me cry in my underpants.

won us the game today; the lads had the right idea - get him on the ball as much as possible to work his magic.
Great performance Del, well in lad!

He's all about end product. We were all over Barnsley before he came on but nothing came of it. He came on and provided the quality we needed.

His best performance in blue

Man of the Match; without him, we'd have lost that game. Links up very well with Barkley, Mirallas and Lukaku, and will win us plenty of penalties and free kicks this season.

Rom looked a different player with Del on the pitch
One happy striker

magical performance. did he get more assists today than in his first stint?

one of the best performances i've seen in blue. the way he controlled the ball was effortless.

That's what is missing. Quality in the final third. We play a possession based game and without the quality teams can just sit back and counter us to death. When we have the quality they can't do that. Let's hope we get Yarmolenko to go along with Deulofeu and Mirallas.

MOTD tonight for me, looking forward to seeing crosses like that coming in soon.

 

[deipnosophist]

MOTD easily

 

[AaronTheBlue]

when people are saying MOTD are they getting mixed up with man of the match and match of the day or something?

it's never been man of the day..

 

[marty mcfly]

He'll be exhausted after this match though with so little playing time since Feb and barely any preseason - don't want to risk him doing his hamstring again. Bring him on as a sub.

If he is on the bench I hope everyone including me remember this post before throwing their rattles out of the pram.

Starts at the weekend then? Think Bobby will do it? I have serious doubts for both Kev and Del starting at Spurs. If I had my way, they both would.

 

[marty mcfly]

The difference is once he's on the ball the defenders back off, it creates space

They also have to put two men on him which again creates space.
