9. Liam Delap

Recommended Posts

Following his Chelsea debut in the 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC at the Club World Cup, Liam Delap's new team-mates have backed the £30m man to be a success at the club.

After Delap made an impressive cameo appearance from the bench in the second half, defender Levi Colwill said: "I've known Liam for a long time now, and I've played against him loads of times. Growing up, you know what sort of players are going to make it and he was always one of those.

"To have him in our team, to train against him, to see him score goals - which I know he will - I'm very excited."

Much has been made of Delap taking on the number nine shirt at Stamford Bridge, but Colwill is not expecting him to feel the pressure.

"I know he wouldn't listen to that or read too much into it because he's a confident player. He's an amazing player, and we know he's going to score goals for Chelsea. That's the mentality we need from every player."

Good start but so did Morata. 

I will wait till January to give a better assessment of him. 

But in the short term he did much more then Jackson done in the last few games.

Delap needs time and he will get it. Huge difference between him and Joao Pedro, Pedro has mass amounts of PL experience and is a top class player with Delap having one season in the PL with a shit side, but it's a huge step up for the lad and he needs time to bed in and learn from the likes of Joao, I am damn sure I would rather see Liam learning from Joao than a limited Jackson
