They are stats though.Dele has had two very decent games, however, neither of those 'stats' mean anything.

The Dele chant is now so completely out-of-date now. It needs tweaking:
We've got Alli

That's pretty harsh to say to a player that's scored 18 PL goals and 9 assists in 16/17.He's still not very good. IMO Work rate was never the issue with Dele, he's always been an elite presser and loved getting stuck in.
The problem is he is soooooooo slow on the ball. Takes forever to decide what to do with it and he gets dispossessed loads. Should have been converted to an Auxiliary CF, but I think talk of a renaissance is still far fetched. He still annoys me in all the ways he did over the past 2 years.
Are we in 2016-17 or 2021-22?That's pretty harsh to say to a player that's scored 18 PL goals and 9 assists in 16/17.
Sure he's slow on the ball but you can't be "not very good" and put up those kind of numbers.
Fair enough but then again, he was playing under Jose where our entire squad with the exception of Son/Kane/Hugo weren't very good.Are we in 2016-17 or 2021-22?
Dele has regressed horribly since midway through 2019. nothing can cover that up. He hasn't been very good since then.
I'd post another gif, but you'd only start bleating for Admin to card me.
His regression started under Poch and Jose gave him EVERY opportunity at the start of his reign. As much as I detest Mourinho, and I'd love to blame everything on him out of pure convenience, Dele actually played his way out of the team under him.Fair enough but then again, he was playing under Jose where our entire squad with the exception of Son/Kane/Hugo weren't very good.
Not at all. I only do that for oricks and racists. You're neither. Thought it was a bit of banter.I'd post another gif, but you'd only start bleating for Admin to card me.
Don't orick-assume me, mate.Not at all. I only do that for oricks and racists. You're neither. Thought it was a bit of banter.
Ridiculous comparisonMo Farrah runs a bit, so does Paula Radcliffe. Not sure they're very good at football.
Perhaps, you should have quoted the plodder posts, would have made more sense.
If you don’t like feet, I recommend not opening his Insta stories today. One of the Spurs medical team is using a scalpel to remove the hard skin off his big toe

I think again here the obvious has bypassed you …. Running plays a part in football …. Football doesn’t play a part in runningMo Farrah runs a bit, so does Paula Radcliffe. Not sure they're very good at football.

Disagree Mourinho disliked dele previous to be coming Spurs manager remember him slagging dele for celebrating scoring against manure in the Fa cup semifinal - as if you wouldn’t celebrate giving your team the lead in a semi final!His regression started under Poch and Jose gave him EVERY opportunity at the start of his reign.
