Come on Dele! Get your shit together, one bit at a time!
Would be tremendous to have another midfield attacking option this season.

Not everything came off but he was well involved and much quicker with his passing Would love Dele to get back to his best (or better yet, to evolve into something even better), maybe he's not naturally tactically suited for our first XI but we will have many, many games this season and there will be plenty of players with a key role to play.
he clearly does, he is involved in all the videos the club puts out like the cricket one the other day, he doesn't seem to be sulking on the margins.Feels like Mourinho already got into his head , watching him played last night he just try to release the ball as fast as possible, one touch pass one touch pass. Maybe he does want to be part of this project
Sounds like a perfect team he got a chance to get back at thingsChrist he did all right tonight. Far from "brilliant" the way the BT narrative and pundits were trying to portray. Against a pub team let's be honest.
You seem like you'd be a riot at partiesMeh
A decent performance against a league 2 equivalent, hardly something to write home about.

It's an Americanism that makes some sense and is in the English dictionary.There’s been a debate about language and now someone uses “gotten”
:mourfacepalm:
He might get the winner against the Dipper ScumWe aren't going to set up in the same way we set up against City every week are we?
Not only is Dele going to be important to the team he's going to chip in with 10+ league goals by the end of this season, wait and see.
We should be encouraged by his performance and effort last night not trying to knock himThat makes zero sense ... he just played 90 minutes in a very successful role did you not watch?
The problem for Dele is that his old role - somewhere between a striker and an AM - isn't in the standard Mourinho EPL playbook, Dele needs to adjust to either the Son, Bergwijn, Bale, Lucas, Lamela role of an attacking player who also covers back ... or make himself a clone of Kane, a very creative goalscorer.
The first option means his chances of playing are slim to none, but the second option is possible he has the ability but can he put in the work? He did a pretty good Kane impression tonight because the defensive work wasn't needed, harder tests will come in the EL and that will be his opportunity.
To say "no role left for him in the formation and style we play" ignores the fact that players can change - just look at Kane this season, or Dier from a year ago.
Like ‘ill gotten gains’?It's an Americanism that makes some sense and is in the English dictionary.
