Dele

[Allejo10]

Not the six in the last two months then ... what's with all the negative shit? we won be happy ....

I'm happy, man, just kidding, despite I don't think Alli is so good.

 

[Joe Clash]

But in Alli case you should say: "yeah, apart from those two goals he scored against Chelsea in 2018."

That’s pithy William, and I won’t try to change your mind. After all, this is a broad church where experts and beginners happily congregate.

What did he say?

I've already told you but you keep responding by referring to something else.

I think you’re confusing me with someone else. I haven’t responded to you in this thread apart from your caps lock rant.

Best way to describe him I feel is an enigma.

So much talent but seems to be a day dreamer at times.

I have no doubt Mourinho will see him as integral to any success he may achieve whilst he is with us.

 

[DSanditon]

I think you’re confusing me with someone else.

Yes, sorry. You're quite right.

I was confusing you with BangkokSpud.

I was disagreeing with Phil Neville's comments that Dele is playing at his best and is the one driving the team forward, BangkokSpud replies by saying:

'If you can't see that Dele is slowly stepping up his game you're just not paying attention'...

which isn't relevant to the point I was making.

In sport, I've always felt that the word 'enigma' is a euphemism for 'lazy' and I think that applies here.

I get the impression that Dele thinks he's a mercurial talent who can turn a game on its head in an instant, a flick here, a flick there and his job is done - meaning he doesn't have to do much the rest of the time.

 

[Don Giovanni]

It took Lo Celso only few cameos to show what an average player Dele is.

He's our very own Lingard, he only played well when superior players around him Kane, Eriksen and Dembele were on top of their game.

He will never ever be a talisman at any team in his career, him having a good game completely relies on better players around him playing well.

He runs his bollocks off even when ineffective.

Maybe we should put him in the women's team then.

Please don’t confuse me with Bangkok again - please? :avbpray:

Sorry but Alli may not be the player we once hoped but to call him average is harsh.

To say he sometimes puts on average performances night be fairer.

That’s bollocks mate, Dele has never lacked effort even when he was playing badly last year, just check the stats on how much distance he covered every game.

Effort has not been the issue with Dele. He might not be as talented as we thought he was but on the pitch he has always given his best.

I was talking about contribution, not distance covered.

If it's all about distance covered then maybe we should sign Mo Farah.

 

[kingdawson]

1 goal and 1 assist and he was still pretty much the most criticised player on the match thread. It looks like he's fighting a losing battle with a substantial portion of our fan base.

I agree in party with that. He is not the player who will carry a team like Dembele for example. But when he hast good players around him he will do the unexpected and that makes the team stronger.

So I see him as someone who can make a team on the top of their game take the extra step with his flair, but won't be able to get it out of dogshit. He just doesn't have the presence for that. He is still a quite unique player.

 

[kingdawson]

Here come the Dele haters. Spurs to a man.

Absolutely disgusting isn't it.

 

[Joe Clash]

Hey DSanditon After our conversation the other other day I watched the Hustler last night (£1.99 second hand from eBay). Just as good as I remember it - classic film. SpiderSpurs even let me stay up late.

He's a good option to have on the bench.

That's just about it.

It's fantastic. I just wish that more was shown of the second match against Minnesota Fats.

I also thought Piper Laurie's performance was a bit shaky.
