Al Dakhil yesterday

[expoultryboy]

Training with a coach infront of us yesterday . Is he injured or out of favour ?

[Bordeauxclaret]

Out of favour.

[expoultryboy]

Delcroix must be awesome in training !!

[warksclaret]

He had a number of poor games, but is still young enough to develop. Having said that O Shea had some poor games too, earlier in the season ,but VK persevered with him, and obviously rates him. I suspect AD could be back for the Spurs game, if Beyer is injured. I think I prefer AD for his fighting qualities than Delcroix who I am still trying to evaluate

[Pearcey]

How long is Ekdal out for again? Haven’t heard anything.

[summitclaret]

His confidence was destroyed by being played at left back instead of Taylor. Then right back. There's a player in there somewhere.

[Cleveleys_claret]

Another that will come good again. Just needs bulking up and strengthening and conditioning training. Look at the difference in Foster. Still very young, probably exceeded expectations too much last year. The young lad is still gonna be class

[IanMcL]

6 inches would be welcome

[KRBFC]

Needs time, clearly he’s not good enough right now we’ve all seen it with our own eyes. He’s like 19 years old and has had a huge leap in the last 6 months.

[Murger]

His confidence was shot. He’s 1 player who I think a loan move would benefit.

[Vegas Claret]

when you look at most of if not all the CB's in the PL they are all units, Ali-D isn't physically developed enough to compete at this level at the moment

[CoolClaret]

Was great against United but hung out to dry a bit early season by VKs disastrous setup.

Absolutely wouldn't be writing him off - though would like to see him get a loan move for 6 months to a promotion chasing Championship side.

[JR1882]

Bulk him up and he will be a rolls Royce in the championship

[JimmyRobbo]

He is lightning fast and he will come good. At present, he's neither wise enough nor strong enough to hold his own.

He'll be fine if handled properly. This is what I believe is happening; taking him out of the firing line is perfectly sensible.

[mybloodisclaret]

Very good player. The prem has come 18 months too soon for him. Needs to be stronger, more imposing, but I think he will get there. Good player him.
