Liam Delap has been praised for a good all round showing by various pundits after he recovered from a horrible moment.
After a rare start against Hull on Friday night, Liam Delap became the big talking point of the game after a horrific miss was then followed up with some nice moments.
His manager Liam Rosenior praised him after the game, and on the London is Blue podcast they were also looking on the bright side today.

“Liam Delap did end up with three assists on the day, a hattrick of assists for Liam Delap,” pundit Dan Dormer said.
“I loved Liam’s assist on the final goal even more, just because of the amount of players he took out of the conversation, and just perfectly set up Estevao.”
“If you’re not scoring, do the stuff that’s going to help everybody else: assist Palmer for a couple of goals, put Neto in the right position, get Estevao involved, be the decoy,” co-presenter Nick Verlaney added.
“He was doing the little stuff that makes a big difference.”
Long term we still want to see more sharpness in front of goal, but there’s no denying that Delap has something to offer when Joao Pedro is being rested.

Chelsea’s xG output this season is superb – but they’re miles behind Arsenal in the table because the Gunners are outstanding in an equally important stat. The Blues need to shape up in that category to catch up.
Mamadou Sarr made his full debut for Chelsea on Friday, but it was pretty interesting to hear some of the comparisons made about him from past teammates.
