He isnt good enough.
Head down dribble and cross is all he has but tried hard.

At least this part is correct, lmao. Deulofeu is a one-trick pony with no imagination and a turnover machine. People can go on about "Nerman 46 ball losses" or "Di Maria crosses" rightfully, but if they turn around after that to ever say that Deulofeu is good or useful then they are major hypocrites. Simply attempting 1 action 50000 times until it might work (and it really didn't today) isn't a solution. It isn't 'perseverance' or any of that BS. It's just dumb football.
he's done better than Suarez, and Messi was lost 99% of the game. Deulofeu is supposed to be a sub, and he did a great job today. He does what he can do, even if it doesn't exceed people's expectations.
He did next to nothing and other players doing little is no real argument.

You might have missed it. Go and rewatch the game. He was the only one battling it out against defenders. I respect your view, but I don't share it.
Wearing down defenders is doing something.
When a player constantly tries to take on pllayers, instead of passing it sideways, he's forcing defender to exert themselves.
Those of us who've played football in highschool and college understand this basic concept.
"great job". Mindless dribbling, crossing, and turnovers is a "great job". Literally every player had a bad game today except Paulinho and arguably Denis. He's just a bad footballer and when the chips are down against non-clown defenses, he won't make the right decision or be useful. He's been consistently bad other than that league opener, no two ways about it.
It takes a little bit of practice to see the small details in football, I encourage you to keep trying. Maybe rewatch the game, and be open minded.
He did an excellent job, in my opinion. Wearing down defenders and being our biggest threat are good enough for me.
Didnt wear down defenders nor was he the biggest threat or even close to it.
we are gonna have to agree to disagree. Both opinions are valid, but I'll stick to mine.
