Why has Mac not played the "Fonz" ??

[Risso]

I have to say the from what little I've seen of him, I'm not that convinced by Delfouneso.  I'd still have him in the squad ahead of Heskey though.

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't think we've seen anything like enough of him to say he'll make it or he won't make it, but I do think that, from what we have seen, he has shown more than enough to suggest that he deserves a chance.

He just hasn't had that chance yet.

[garyshawsknee]

Seeing how our options are pretty limited,i thought he'd have a run out by now. I suppose he didnt play much pre season with the team due to the U19s? Maybe he's a little behind.

I would rather Houllier give him a shot in the team for the rest of the season than sign Owen on some sort of loan deal.

Looks like this season is going to be a bit of write off...might as well see which of our youngsters can cut the mustard.

I would be extremely disappointed if Fonz didnt make the grade at Villa though.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Based on the England U19/U21 games I've seen over the summer, the Fonz seems to be lacking a bit of confidence and his form has been poor. We have to remember he's still very young and shouldn't be loading him with such high expectations so soon.

[KevinEaton]

I can't believe he's never had a spell out on loan. I really think we miss a trick with not sending some of our promising youngsters out on short loan stints.

I know there is an argument that training day in day out with premiership players does bring them on, but there is no substitute for games and I think even more so for strikers. They need to be playing and getting their sharpness and confidence in front of goal. Look at James Vaughan of Everton. Just gone to Palace scored a hat trick and will no doubt continue to score goals and return to Everton a more confident player. He will also be more hungry for game time having got used to playing 90 minutes on a regular basis.

With our current formation of one main striker and Young behind, we can get by until January with Carew, Gabby and Heskey.

Maybe he's just not good enough.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Let's just hope the Fonz doesn't develop an attitude problem, a la Luke and Stefan Moore.

Totally different players for me.  Fonz works his arse off when he gets a game unlike the Moores.  The Fonz was impressive last year and scored some decent goals.  Ridiculous to write him off like this when he has hardly started any games.

macdonald said it was a confidence thing with delfouneso...

weimann has scored in pre season and delfouneso hadnt...

I agree mate,i dont mind us finishing mid table if we can blood players like Fonz,Clarke,Bannan,Lichaj,Wiemann,Delph(when fit) give them 15-20 games to help them towards next season and beyond.

Sorry, I have a disturbing vision of a ginger-haired leather-clad Italian-American.
