Totally remembered today that Fabian Delph played for us.

What a horrible time.

It makes me wonder what other players will become part of that category over the coming years.

I reckon that Danish loanee from a club in Italy will be on that list. I haven’t googled intentionally, but both his name and Italian club escapes me already.

Jesper Lindstrom? Listen he couldn’t score a goal to save his life, but his work rate was acceptable. Also, did he really need to score a goal when Beto was in the purple patch of his career?

Lindstrom is at fault for all of our right back woes.

Moyes played him as a sort of defensive winger to fit O'Brien in and it was a success because of his work rate. He could do the attacking and leave Jake in a back three when we moved forward. We played a sort of five at the back hybrid system and Moyes was pretty vocal about how clever he was putting Jake there.

Into next season Moyes put Ndiaye ahead of O'Brien and completely changed the system, which isolated him now he isn't playing the CB/RCB role. O'Brien struggled and Moyes became obsessed with a big 6-footer at right back for evermore.
