2021/22 Dele Alli

[Blast_of_Cannock]

False nine then Alli lad. Good luck

To be fair, Rondon did a good job at the false nine last season. Sorry, I meant to say the false footballer.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

It’s not ideal circumstances but I’m quite keen to see how playing as a nine works for him. He’s a proven goalscorer and this genuinely might be the spark he needs to get going again.

Right im pretty certain that Dele is actually a 6 year old

His wrists in strapping on Iwobis insta story. Did he do a handshake too hard? what is going on at FF?

 

[catcherintherye]

He's going to play as a very traditional striker but because he can complete passes and occasionally dribble without tripping over his own feet or the ball he's going to be called a false 9 all season.

There was nothing false about him at Blackpool. Just a striker getting on the end of things.

Is that good, or bad?

It's not really either, it's just a complaint about how anyone who plays striker in a non-traditional way is a false 9 now

Bit gutted nobody said Homelander

If he can hold the ball up, he should be able to play there.

Firmino would be a good example for him to follow. If you've got a good touch, close control and vision, you don't necessarily have to be strong or fast to be the focal point in attack.

Yeah, he seems a bit in his own little world.

You do have to wonder how he'll cope post football career.

Koff man, Temp V Butcher all the way.

Get the impression Dele Alli would be crying and clutching his blanket about Superman turning evil tho.

Leave him alone. All blokes are secret Walter Mittie’s.

He likes Iron Man, we’re on this forum debating nonsense. What’s the difference?

Fair point, I've got an @davek avatar tattooed on my calf. He's our Iron Man.
