Moussa wearing the T shirt saying ‘Fuck you Blakey’ was genuinely funny

When you have a squad, there is always an extra player listed in case of an emergency late injury. Especially for away trips, we'll take an extra player for that scenario. I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure it is the same for a home game you'd have a player who comes to the game as if he's playing but normally ends up sitting behind the bench.You're over thinking it.... Much like Gedson, Dele would still have been training.
Don't even know what you mean by '19th man'.... You build a bench to give you options.
Sissoko is X kind of player..... Gedson was the obvious alternative.
I doubt his good form in years passed was down to an intact virginity...not sure where Dele fits into our team play under Jose
think he needs to play as second striker (but who knows)
he's not played well for 2 years (had odd games, but not enough)
wonder if its just that he does not work hard enough in training since he got the taste of a woman
Nah, doesn't make sense to me - he was already dropped from the matchday squad then started on Thursday after the speculation had already started. Then dropped again at the weekend (implying he hadn't tested postive then negative for covid).Has anyone considered if Dele simply is Covid-positive ? Many clubs have been reluctant to publish names when someone tests positive - privacy considerations etc.
You'd hope it would be a move for his sake but this is pretty standard Mourinho management, just picking fights, humilating players. Alli has been average to poor over the last 2 seasons but he offers more than Lucas, Lamela and others in terms of chances created and goals scored. If this isnt for a move its diferent level pettiness and cutting off our nose to spite our face .Wow, big call given our fixture congestion. A move must be imminent.
But sad really he has great talent but has sort of lost his way, I don’t think he fits the Mourinho profile and a new challenge could suit him. If he goes I wish him luck, like Foyth I would expect a sell on clause from Levy.
It’s a shame but I don’t think that he was doing it for Poch towards the end
Had he lost fitness or was he being played out of position or both?
We’ll never know but he scored some crackers for us my favourite being the one against the Chavs in the 3-1 demolition at the Bridge
Jose expects his players to run through walls for him , Lucas does that if Dele is still being Lazy in training and not putting the effort in required then he has no place in the squad.You'd hope it would be a move for his sake but this is pretty standard Mourinho management, just picking fights, humilating players.
