I don’t think Dele’s main problem is laziness but this is entirely misleading statistically as FBRef classifies him as an AM/Winger when he’s been playing CM. So naturally his tackling and defensive stats look significantly better.No, it's not.
Pressures are defined by this detailed explanation by Colin Tranors who came up with the methodology of recording and measuring the intensity of pressing, adopted and recognised by the industry as the definitive measure which is Passes Allowed Per Defensive Action (PPDA).

It's also only recorded by opponent passes allowed per defensive action, in the opponent’s defensive 3/5ths of the pitch.
But not just to rest on his laurels there's a ton of other data that I can present that show his work rate other than he runs the furthest in the team, is one of our strongest pressers (along with Lucas too) and here they are: You see if you are shit at pressing the oppo play past you.
But he's got shit hairstyle, drives a Rolls Royce and doesn't score 16 goals a season playing as a number 6.
A fair few on here still don’t
Everton or Newcastle.
Everyone involved would have been so much better off if we’d sanctioned that PSG move back when.
This is a sad, loveless marriage now. End it.

I really wanted Dele to have a barn stormer of a game but it just wont happen anymore, he needs to move on , I'm sure Fortnight FC would take him
Yes, our best chance is probably Newcastle desperately splashing money around. But we need to really hope they're desperate.
I just can't, it's too easy. Like stamping on a puppy.
So who wants to put money on how long it'll take before he has a fresh start after impressing in training? I reckon February after his move to Newcastle is scuppered.
Yeah Newcastle is the best bet, take whatever we can for him
Yeah but 1% of the 12843 TFC members would be 128 Dele believers. Some people believe in God too. We'll just leave them to it
Surely there aren’t 128 people that daft on the whole planet!Yeah but 1% of the 12843 TFC members would be 128 Dele believers. Some people believe in God too. We'll just leave them to it
He is a beaten docket with us at least .Needs to move for all concerned something went south with him looked to have a great career ahead of him a few years back .
To be fair to him he is not picking himself, but he is hopeless. Merits no more chances. Hopefully Conte sees this too
