OLD TRAFFORD — E be like say Chelsea fans go need hold their breath as their new striker Liam Delap no show wetin dem expect for him game against Burnley. Na that Burnley malam wey sabi how to turn the heat on dem, but Delap try for first half. Na wetin we go call breadcrumbs of hope.
As Chelsea dey push to get back their glory, dem trust say Delap go add some firepower for their attack. But, e no too happen like that on Saturday. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez carry the day for Chelsea, but Delap? Hmmm, na him go need sharp mind. Two chances wey him get, instead of pass to Fernandez wey dey on mark, he sharp-shoot from 30 yards and collect nothing. Na wah! (Wetin I go even talk if I be Enzo?)
For Chelsea stylists, dem suppose build team around players wey fit create chances for others, but Delap dey find am hard to gel with the squad. Na wetin dem call balance of play. Whenever Ball dey near am, instead of pass, e go just dey look for strike. This no fit work in Premier League o!
At 22, Delap carry plenty hope but him performance still dey generate more question marks than exclamation marks. No chance created, no goal scored and barely an average of one shot per game? That one no sweet for Chelsea fans body.
Meanwhile, for all dem shakers shake with keyboard warriors wey dey laugh Nicolas Jackson, him manage 17 goals for unfriendly team last season. If Delap go finish wetin Jackson don start, eh, make we no go pray for am o! (Who sabi fit win when e dey play against giants like Haaland?)
Na another twist for United sef wey dey watch and see how Delap dey struggle. Benjamin Sesko no fit perform better and fans dey wonder wetin delap dey take eyes see a bigger picture. E be like say dem go need plenty fine wine to make judgements on either player soon.”
