Delph

[Clampy]

I wonder whether we'll see KEA or Sylla in his place on Sat, or even a return for Bannan.  I think on balance I'd stick Bannan in there.

I would'nt thrown Bannan back in but i'd have him back on the bench. Giving Sylla a game would'nt be a bad shout.

[Des Little]

Put Sylla in. Bannan is a waste of space.

[PaulTheVillan]

I would play Herd or KEA Saturday

[Ron Manager]

If he can continue his upward curve of recent times, we may have a quality player on our hands. It's worth noting he played really well against a strong midfield on Monday.

Yes he did play very well, a silly booking though.

[ozzjim]

KEA did ok at Everton so I would imagine he will start.

[eamonn]

KEA will start, fairly sure of that. I've actually thought his cameos in recent games quite impressive.
He gives us presence in the middle and his close control and give-and-go has looked sharper as if the sub appearances have made him more eager to please.

I also thought he did pretty well in his brief appearance on Monday night.  He looked a bit sharper and more like the player who did well at the start of the season.  Same applies to Holman.

Yes, he looked like he can do that close control give and go. So can Westwood. So can Ireland. So Can Bannan.

But can they tackle? If I said the jury was out, I think I would be erring on the side of incredulity.

What we need is a central midfielder who isn't afraid of getting forward and playing the ball into Benteke's feet. If we keep lumping it then we are just creating a 50/50 at best situation.

The way games are refereed these days it's almost academic whether or not he can tackle as they'll give a foul anyway.

[peter w]

it doesn't help that his second touch is usually a lunge though.

[mrfuse]

I'm afraid KEA doesn't do anything for me too lightweight and gives the ball away easily, I would have to gamble on Sylla alongside Westwood.

[eastie]

Kea and bannan are not good enough- give sylla chance and lets see what he can do , Delph will be will a huge miss.

[N'ZMAV]

I'd rather Herd played than KEA.

[Des Little]

I'd rather play Thora Herd than KEA
