How do you mean?
It's funny, you know; he packed on a good bit of muscle on top, but it did not benefit him in any way other than when the handbags came out.
I despair at his technical limitations. And I don't like his attitude, so I am very keen to part ways with him.
True be. It seemed you could see his goals and assists drop in direct correlation to his bulk increasing...
Kind of agree, found myself thinking of Poch potentially taking over at Utd and them offering £80M type money, would snap their hands off.
But I do love his link with Kane and his drive and desire, it is just not in a dynamic enough body! Think Grealish is currently twice the player Dele is, sadly (partly as that means Utd will be trying to sign him, not Dele!).
It's clear though when fit, to me, Lamela is worth much more to the team dynamic, not as many goals and assists but will bulldoze into the press and help create the team dynamic akin to what Leipzig showed last night, something Dele simply cannot do (in fact he does the opposite with the way he halfheartedly runs towards a player most often, probably scared of injury as he knows he's carrying fatigue around too much).
He’s nothing special. Will be Playing for wolves in a couple seasons
I'm afraid so but i hope not.
He wasn’t never that good in a shite league like the Portuguese
Hes clearly got technical ability as evidenced by some nice touches but also seems to struggle to pass the ball in a straight line. Goes from the sublime to the ridiculous quite readily. Will be fun/frustrating to watch in his time with us
Just remembered JM chatting away to Gedson when he was coming out for the 2nd half.
He took no notice.
The talent is there. I think he does not like to follow orders.
Gedson got substituted.
There's plenty of factual stuff above in this thread about his performance in this game.
Gedson was poor yesterday and got subbed for that reason.
Since he has arrived he has shown a nice touch here and a nice touch there. From a defensive point of view, his pressing last night was really lacking in intensity, which was a problem throughout the team. And he didn't take good care of the ball when he had it. In fact, he fucked it away so cheaply at times that it was difficult to know what he was thinking. He was ball-watching as Angelino zoomed past him in the second half to lay on that really good chance for Schick.
That is actually a fair point but JJ was having a go at Gedson all game because he was half-hearted.
There was lots of positional pressing but not enough aggressive pressing.
I hope you are wrong, I think you are right.
More importantly it seems like the kid himself takes the same view.
I hope I am am wrong.
He won a league cup medal, that's one more medal than Kane and most of our players have
Good cameo - brought back memories of the Aaron Lennon days
