I do not enjoy what Jose is serving up but we don't miss Dele and it is not crystal clear. In Jose's tactics how would you expect Dele to get the ball to his feet in space? Since he can only play in the LHS are you proposing moving Sonny to accommodate Dele? And how will Dele's presence in the team improve the play, the entertainment factor? Just wondering.
In the scant mins Dele has played he has played well, he has pressed well, he has linked play, he has run beyond Kane finding pockets giving him more than just Son to pass to (and his runs if not picked out creating space for Kane or Son). He has a more developed understanding playing with Kane and Son, than Bergwijn and is infinitely better than Lucas and Bale with and without the ball.
The big issue, of course, is Jose allowing us to attack with 3 players would be fucking nice, rather than the 2. But that said when Kane drops deep to spin the ball out to Son or Bergwijn (usually Son as Bergwyn is the player moving the oppo) are we attacking with 2 or 3? However, if we are purely playing counter-attack football focusing on a very quick transition then I'd rather see Bergwijn play ahead of him.
We have desperately missed him in games like Fulham, Wolves, Leicester & Palace, where we are up against teams who want to play the same way as us. In all of these games, the oppo's build-up play was miles better than ours, IMO Dele would have been the difference in those games.
But yeah, in my eyes the problem is Jose, not Dele. Which means he's wasting his time here, just as we are talking about it, to be honest.
