“I think for him” – Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink explains exactly why Liam Delap is struggling to score

“I think for him it’s confidence,” he told talkSPORT.

“When you’re out there and you’re not having any rhythm, you know, then he plays, then he doesn’t, then he gets ten minutes, then he doesn’t.

“When you are not scoring and it’s and it’s taking a long time you get to doubt yourself.

“I think needs he needs coaching because here and there I think he can be in better positions, but I think majority is it is self-belief, it’s confidence.

“You don’t lose your ability from one day to another you don’t become all of a sudden a bad player from one day to another. So, it’s all in the head.”
