"Is it one goal so far in the Premier League? Something like that, which is not what you want. You expect a lot better than that for a big-money signing. And he did much better at Ipswich before the switch. But you ask Chelsea fans and they quite like him. The reason is he works hard, and he makes space for other people."
"After scoring 12 goals in 37 Premier League appearances at Ipswich last term, this campaign really has been a disappointing one for Delap. Again, the Chelsea man has only scored once in 18 outings in the English top flight."
Liam Delap's performance at Chelsea has been disappointing compared to his successful loan spell at Ipswich Town. The striker has managed just one goal in 18 Premier League appearances this season, far below expectations for a big-money signing. Despite the poor goal tally, Pat Nevin notes that Chelsea supporters value Delap's work ethic, positioning, and ability to create space for teammates. He provided three assists in a single FA Cup match against Hull City. However, Delap faces potential replacement if his goal-scoring form does not improve, with Chelsea reportedly targeting Brentford's Igor Thiago as a possible alternative striker.
