Supporters of Everton have taken to social media to air their frustration with Fabian Delph following the 3-2 victory over Watford.
On Saturday, the English midfielder saw red for two yellow-card fouls which could have derailed the Toffees’ comeback, however, the Merseyside club were still victorious (per BBC), though fans were still unhappy with the 30-year-old.

Would you like to see Fabian Delph sold by the Toffees in the summer transfer window?Yes, he is just not good enough for us
No, he offers us some quality in the middle

Fabian Delph is so bad. Hopefully Carlo shows him the door. #motd

I just realized that we not only came back from two down, but we also don’t have to watch Delph play next week.

What do we think?
While the sending off for Fabian Delph was debatable (per Liverpool Echo), it is clear to see that that is not the root cause of all of Everton fans’ anger.
With his weak average rating for the season so far (per WhoScored), more fans seem to be frustrated that the Englishman is consistently underperforming.
