Great counter-attacking goal.

Delph was great throughout.

Agree, very good performance, the only issue being that he let himself down with a couple of rash tackles early on and had to hang back from challenges later in the game.

That's who is he though.  He's never going to change.

That's a great start, certainly got himself noticed. Hope he signs soon because he's going to be a bloody good player.

If it was good enough for Paul Scholes.................

Yes his stock has gone up tonight and contract is a big worry.

I would say good rather than great. Which is not to discredit his performance at all but just to keep things a little in perspective, something which rarely happens when we are talking England, either good or bad

The first of those rash tackles was because of a really poor pass to him that put him under pressure. The commentators didn't mention that though.
The second was pure Delph and I imagine had most villa fans saying the usual " for fucks sake Delph!"
Other than that I thought he was excellent.

Well done Fab!

In the moment, which is an international qualifier, I think he was great.

Week to week, which is what we watch, he was excellent and that's what I expect and want from a talented young player. Well done, Fabian.

Thought Delph did well considering it was his first full cap and he gave the energy and drive that has been missing from the England midfield for some time.  Thought both sides weren't great, but there were some positives for England.  The formation worked quite well though the personnel is not quite right (Wilshere shouldn't play in the defensive midfield role again), but I thought Gary Cahill was very good tonight.

He's probably strengthened his hand tonight.

After his usual booking I thought he was excellent, driving forward and also getting important foot ins.  Good work Fab. Sign him up.
