[tomrfcurz]

Nicknames 'useless' de la cruz at villa but i think hes done ok here i was really happy to see him start on sunday iv also got a song:

To the tune of sonko is superman- Ulises De La Cruz Ulises de la Cruz etc.

[roland*]

Brilliant.

[easxmn]

he did well when positioned correctly, gave it up a few times though. he made the plays when necessary, not a bad performance at all

[brighton_royal]

Got to say he looked like he could use a bit more time working with the team. He looked OK at digging out tackles but some of his passing was a bit scary to be honest.

Not at all bad considering what a short time he has been with the club though.

I thought DLC had a good starting debut for the team. For me, it just seemed like he was beaten for pace a little too often. Now at 32, that isn't really a surprise, but I wonder if the famed sports science at RFC may help with this, along with some better positioning. Still, overall a good performance and I for one am pleased to have him as cover for Murts in preferences to Halls.

Have you seen how quick the West Ham players are anyway? They aren't exactly slow!

Good performance although i do feel he could have done a bit more on the occassion when he hit it out for throw-ins. Better safer than sorry though, so fair play to the bloke

I must admit they are not slouches. Particularly admire Benayoun.

don't forget how worrying sonkos passing and random punts were when he first started though, look at him now.

[Wax Jacket]

I thought it was a very composed debut, safer than sorrier is right and he looked pretty steady - just that foray into midfield late on caused a few jitters.

[Royalee]

Thought he lacked absolutely awful first half, although he did improve a bit in the second. We nearly conceded a couple of goals where Etherington passed him far too easily and I'll be happy when Murts is back.

[kadzidlo]

I think he's a good replacement to have when Murts is out.

[The Surgeon of Crowthorne]

I did hear someone on 606 saying he had a nightmare, so was this a typical over-reaction? (I didn't go, BTW, in case you ask!)

[International Royal]

I thought he did OK.

I was dreading the RH side getting taken apart prior to the game. Seol hasn't been fantastic at tracking back before Sunday. I felt he worked hard and really helped Cruz out.

Cruz lacks pace though and maybe Bikey may be a better option.

[Royalee]

No, not really, although he did improve slightly in the second half, although that wouldn't have taken much.

Not an over reaction? Pardon? No one on that pitch had a nightmare yesturday. FACT.

I would say he was slightly underaverage at the very least.

Maybe you're too use to Murtys play. He has turned himself into a truly great right back.

But to say DLC had a nightmare

[Ian Royal]

I can't say I consider Royalee to have the most objective of opinions so I'll assume he had a reasonable game, but showed weaknesses.

[bottom left hand corner]

He did ok but almost gave a goal away when he went for a wonder with the ball. He got tackled and didnt get back to his possition and they passed it out to the right and he crossed it low and bobby zamora nearly scored. Thats mainly my consoncern.

[Irvinchangeyaname]

Not the opinion of the guy that sat behind me. Audibly telling DLC to O*ford out of the side every time he came near the away fans. I don't mind what opinion people have of him, but to give one of our players abuse is a disgrace.

[The Rouge]

Was he very stocky about 40ish with a near skinhead (dark hair)...?
