Superb match from him, our best player today by a mile. Massive effort in and out of possession and won us the match.

Strikes me as good coaching from Nuno to push Dele to evolve into something new as a player rather than just try to get him back to what he was. It has clearly engaged him in a way "be Dele again" didn't.
He's haphazard with the ball, I don't think that's ever going away, but it's a question of what can he add to balance that out, and he's really contributing by being a pest all over the pitch.

Worked his arse off and won us the game. As long as he keeps working, the rest will take care of itself I think.
Credit where credit is due. Had a fairly good game today.
Only saw the second half. Battled well
glad he got his goal
thought he spoke well after the game, maybe the penny has dropped

I said he'd score today
He's going to have a big season. 8-10 goals and 8-10 assists.

Not if he plays this position. That‘s not really the role. He will chip in with a few, particularly if he’s on penalties if Harry goes, but defensive duties will be more important. I think he’ll do well in this role.
I think he'll have to inevitably transition over to an attacking role when he starts gaining his confidence back
Biggest culprit why we got dominated and outclassed in midfield today.
He hides himself in midfield like Sissoko.

There is a lot of good and some bad with Dele so far this season,
You cannot question his effort and commitment. He has shown he is fit and willing to do what the coach asks him, the second part especially is something that I would have had major questions about before the season so it is great to see.
However, his play in attack and with the ball has been poor and it is starting to look like it isn't an effort/indifference issue but a skill issue.
Obviously there is still time for him to show more in that respect and really a hardworking Dele is better than what we have had in the past but I think the hopes that we could get "peak Dele" back are starting to become clear that it isn't likely to happen.

Serial jogger.
In BOTH PL games this season he's run the furthest of any player on the pitch AND clocked the highest speed of any player.
Dele making fools of so many.
He's in Garth Crooks team of the week.

It's usually Garth doing the hating; but i'll take it.
