I don’t disagree he was poor. But I disagree on lack of effort. I saw him bust a gut at least 3 times to get into the box and the other players didn’t have the quality to find him. One Doherty pee rolled into the first man, one Kane tripped over the ball. That’s essentially Dele’s game so if he’s not being found then it’s pointless him playing.

Pretty heartbreaking stuff this. I probably had him as my second favorite player (Dembele 1st) in those heady days when we bought him, but the downward spiral is alarming. He is sooooo slow, makes Teddy look rapid, but not just in running, when he gets the ball he slows us down as well. There just isn’t a roll in football these days for someone who can’t move at more than jogging pace.
really sickening but he’s been a passenger in our squad for 3+ years now.

Indeed but different situations, no one has ever doubted the quality of Kane and he consistently delivers.

My hopes that he could somehow (miraculously) turn things around were hanging by a thread anyway. The thread finally broke last night.

I think he just doesn’t fit the game as it’s played now by most teams

If he has been then where were the rest of the team, because we haven't looked coached for about 4 years.
Im a dele fan, but your right we have to back Conte in whatever he wants to do, even if that’s selling Kane, or even Son.

Any one know if there were bids for Dele that Levy turned down?

I'm in the same position - Conte is the last chance saloon for Dele and the rest of the players who have regressed/stagnated these past 2-3 years, up to him/them to make the most of having a top level manager in his prime years working them day to day
I think a bunch of them have had that chance, and they've now left that saloon. The only reason they'll get games between now and January is to make up the numbers given the first 11, and say 3-4 backs-up who Conte does have faith in, cant play every game

I hadn’t made the connection until someone pointed out it was the colours of the Italian flag. Although he misfired with even that as the white has come out more yellow

Even you are beginning to doubt him. [emoji102][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

Indeed. Sadly. It hurts but I cannot deny what I have seen recently.

Dele had his best game for years today
Dele and Neymar are more or less equivalent...
