Finn balor Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Delph was tidy today, watching him live you can see him talking a lot and seems to have integrated himself already. Always wanted the ball which I like. He’s not just a stopper he can see a pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yeh I thought he looked good too. There was a couple of occasions where he charged out of midfield on his own and they just knocked it around him causing us a problem but on the ball I couldnt really fault him.

Finn balor Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 bought Gomes for what we will get for Lookman and Delph for what we will get for McCarthy. Whichever ever way you look at it that’s good business AlbanyNYToffee and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you spin it (more 'dynamic' midfield, which I think is grasping at straws) it's a backward step for me. Signing for a champions league club doesn't make you instantly better than a cast off from another. If City were in for Gana they'd be more of an argument but not PSG side that signed Choupo-Moting from Stoke last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 My only worry is that is definitely not a Gana replacement, or rather not the type people wanted to replace Gana with. He seems less creative than Gana even. Great on the ball and always willing to receive it, but not the type we would be hoping to replace Gana, that can unlock a defence. But then Im basing that on 45 mins haha. But that what is Evertonians do isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t need to be creative though - just win it and move it quickly to the likes of - Gylfi, Gomes, Bernard, Richarlison, Dinge and from there we go!

From what I saw his passing and directness was much sharper and poaitive than Gana and that is what we need from someone in that role. Gomes can play, Siggy has guile and then we have the two wide players to bring that creativity. Time will tell though! Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to Bailey mate the wise one , what I was saying is you used the word creative in the same sentence as Gana who is not creative, and therefore it’s impossible for Delph to be less creative than Gana who is non creative, Gana is disruptive to the opposition and not creative for us.

Can’t agree, but do realise it’s just opinion. I didn’t see anything that suggest creativeness, but it’s a half of a match. I do like his willingness to receive the ball though and think Davies is going to grow learning from him. Everton come before me and you proving each other right/wrong though.

Finn balor Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Let’s be fair he is a different player and we were having a kick about it wasn’t a normal match. Let’s just wait and see. Gana was pretty much a one off regarding styles. Obvious comparison is the Chelsea lad and maybe Ndidi at Leicester Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say he’s better than Gana at the thing he does best winning the ball back, but some think he could offer different dynamics to the team which could improve us, let’s see how he’s performing after 5 or 6 games.
