2021/22 Dele Alli

[HalfTimeSayers]

Bit weird that all the papers have reposted the exact same articles from days ago that we are desperate to sell him and Frank has had enough, but have added “despite him scoring a brace today”.

He is clearly back on the list of players that the media have decided everyone has to despise, probably because his new lady friend has a nice bottom. Same as when it was a national disgrace he turned up at FF in a Rolls Royce. Clearly he should have rented a Corsa for the day to not let out the secret that footballers are rich.

Looks like a luxury player to me in our weak squad, but sometimes nice to have one of those to make matches worth watching. Did well. Still knows where to be in the box.

Has anyone mentioned the man's nails yet?

Looking forward to seeing someone mention that his use of nail varnish is the reason he misses a chance.

An option as a false nine going off today he looked more comfortable there maybe his mobility has lessened he can use his link up/finishing there

Nothing false about it. He's not a traditional bruising big man but he plays like a striker.

True, I guess I mean in that he does that link up really well as you would expect from someone who has played 8/10.

Was a point in the first half where he skinned about four players and could have shot but tried to slide Myko (?) in for a goal

Was vintage stuff - I know I know, only Blackpool etc

He’s 6ft 2 so could throw himself about a bit if he wanted to but he seems a bit too laid back

It's obviously easier to get access to them as a former player.

Courses are gated by money not reputation. You have to be able to pass them.

Nagelsmann too.

Nagelsmann had to retire early with an injury. Otherwise he’d have carried on at his pro team.

 

[Nymzee]

I liked him smashing Connolly second half who’d fouled him a few times earlier. Love some snide.

Still only 26 , has everything to become a Premier lge Great.
Hope he continues to want to get back to the standard he set.
Fantastic player when he wants to be , lets hope he does it here.

You can give label him a no 10 , wide player , false 9 . Doesnt matter, give him the free role in and around the box there's not many better out there at what he does.
Clever player.

I mean the lad came on in a huge moment in our history vs Palace and turned the game on its head out of his regular position. Lads on here have been writing him off all summer.

Watch him be our star player this season...

But he didn't. He got where he was because he put in the time as a coach.

He doesn't need to. He holds it up fine and can do his damage finding space instead of battling.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Looked much more like the old Dele, admittedly it was only against Blackpool but was good to see him controlling the play and getting in dangerous position

Me too.
Anyone posting tonight that he wasn't trying / getting stuck in , simply wasn't there or wasn't watching.
