Think Poch left in November with Bergwijn joining in January 2020, so JM played him early not Poch
Oh I know - I was using him to contrast the two managers. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.
How Dele has played most definitely he has been awful for 2 seasons but still gets picked. It's only Son and Kane who are safe because of there goals scored. The others have not earned there spot. I think there are a few who could see past the biased and pick Lamela but it should be on performance's. Dele played over 1000 minutes more this season m 9 ost starting in all competitions he scored 9 and assisted 6. Lamela scored 4 and assisted 6 most from subs bench . Playing the same minutes and Lamela given the same chances as Dele I dare say he would out perform him . That's my opinion you have yours
Where is Zaha playing in our squad?
Up front with Kane in a 4-4-2 but then that puts Son further back than he likes and its hard to see how GLC, PEH and another CM that we seem to want/need, especially if Ndombele stays, fit.
I guess he could play on the right with a front 3 of Son-Kane-Zaha, but then Bergwijn is permanently on the bench which seems like a waste and we still have Moura and Lamela as well. Plus need to fit in Alli, GLC, PEH, Ndombele or replacement into a midfield 3.
And none of that takes into account where the money comes from to overpay Crystal Palace who have had nothing but overvaluing him the past two seasons.
I like the idea of adding the potential talent but it is hard to see a fit or how we can afford the move.

Each season comes with it's own challenges.... But of course, you'd relish that or any other kind of failure wouldn't you, John....
Shit on the good times; shit on the bad... It's all win to you.
I saw 30m recently... Seemed crazy but a reward for him staying and working last season.
I would like it personally
I was going to make a post yesterday that I believed that we would always be on the lookout for an absolute steal in this climate. That even with a limited budget, Levy wouldn't walk away from an absolute top deal.
I'm not fully convinced Zaha fits that description though of being an absolute steal at 40m or something like that.
Dele has not been great but he has still been better than Lamela over that time frame and when he was at his best it was so far beyond what Lamela ever has been or could be it makes sense why the better player gets more opportunities.
I have no problem with replacing Dele and think it is something we should certainly look at but replacing him with a clearly inferior player is not the way I would chose to go. I think we should look to improve the position not make it worse.
Exactly.
Give Ole and Lampard, even Klopp, the injuries Jose had to deal with this season and see if they cope.
We were missing Kane, Son, Dele, Davies and Lloris this season, amongst others.
Take Bruno, Matic, Martial, Wan-Bissaka and De Gea out of Utd.
Take Pulisic, Willian, Kovacic, Azpilicueta and Kepa out of Chelsea.
Take Mane, Firmino, Fabinho, Robertson and Alisson out of Liverpool.
I bet none of them make top 4, maybe Liverpool just.
Fabulous response..... I'm in awe..... Really.
I wouldn't rule this out at all given Mourinho's penchant for keeping someone pacey fresh on the bench to run at defenders with tired legs in the last half hour of a game.
Also, we really need good options for squad rotation. It's obvious that we're going to go hell for leather at every available cup and that's going to mean an awful lot of games next season.
Fact is, we've not had a year without some major injuries to key players. The team might seem overly stacked on attackers if we brought Zaha in but I guarantee that X is going to pull a hamstring, Y is going to have some neanderthal defender take his ankle/knee out, and Kane will have his obligatory 10 match injury.
Sounds like your more interested in the strength of the clubs bank balance than you are in the strength of the football team on the pitch.
I mean, seriously, what the fuck!
Keep posting cunto, you still have 90 posts left to meet your daily quota. Anything below that no payday for you.
Dele has been playing further back than he did, so no surprise his goals/assists dropped.
But Dele for 18 months or so was also not playing well, showed signs of gettimng back to old form under JM but still some way to go.
Lamela's problem is his injuries - not fit to play for pretty much 50% of the matches over a 7 year period is a major problem - you cant rely on him being available to cover other players as he may not be fit. His stats are ok when fit.....but similar to Dele's over his time at Spurs including his bad recent period.
Could this be somewhat related to that Zaha speculation...?

Just give up,
Who would believe you after your 'Not one brick' campaign to show a stadium would never be built.
You are just a shit forecaster - actually just ignore the last word !
