Liverpool fan coming in peace.
I write regular reviews over on the Liverpool site and received a recent request from a fan who was impressed by your very own Fabian Delph.
Seeing as he's your player, I thought you might be interested in having a read? If you go to the Liverpool site and click the link down the left hand side entitled 'LFC blogs and voting polls', it is blog 12, right at the top as of September the 13th.
I'd appreciate any feedback from you guys and hope you find my review fair.
Kind Regards,
YNWAdam
1.) I think Delph has been excellent for the past twelve months and I am excited to see him improve.
As for your article. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but it smacks of a wannabe journalist. Largely pejorative and cliche ridden, and reliant on basic statistics which have little depth. Whilst us fans love an opinion we do not analyse the game in the same way as those within the industry, so it may work for the talksport listenership but I garnered little from it.
2.) For the LFC fan in peace.
Delph is growing into the player he was in the championship but now in the prem. He had a lot of bad press from some supporters over the last couple of seasons but I believe that he is the exact player Villa need in the middle of the pitch. He is not afraid to "get stuck in" when at the back and he is perfectly able when going forward. His distribution is fine, his tackling hard and altogether the right combination for Villa.
Dare one say that a little more improvement in his consistancy could move him into reckoning for Hodgson or whoever is in the seat at the time, on the international front. He plays the role that England need badly in every game.

3.) I appreciate what you have to say. Unfortunately, I am a wannabe journalist! I'm only 19 years old, and have no journalism qualifications (I'm stuck in Engineering for now), but I am really just using this site as a base to try and practice on, and feedback like your is what I want mainly. Most people are just overly nice and say things like "send them in to the papers". The reason I haven't, is because I can see the many flaws when I read them back to myself. Its a learning curve for me, and due to working 6 days a week in other professions, my research time is limited, and I appreciate they were basic statistics. However, I did elborate slightly on them and actually give my opinion on the player from what I have seen of him playing, not just the stats I could find.
Anyway, I'm glad you read it and I really do appreciate the honesty! I'll come back stronger next time thanks to your advice, and will look to find more relevant and in depth stats to go with the opinion. I'll try to be a little less cliche as well ;)

4.) Having read your article and response to my opinion, I have faith that you will achieve your ambition of becoming a sports writer, good luck Adam.
