2021/22 Dele Alli

Think he has to start tbh, we need something from him and he’s got great ability when he applies it

Whether it’s as a 10, in a midfield three or even as a striker he just has to play
He is past it now. I wasn't convinced when we signed him on loan but was hoping to be proved wrong

He has had his chance here and has proved beyond doubt that he is rank average.

Any average player would be an influential player in our decidedly below average team, I think Alli is far below that level now.
 
A succession of managers as diverse as Southgate , Mourinho , Nuno , Conte and now Lampard have chosen not to select him.
I wonder why.

Players like Patterson (obviously now due to injury), Mykolenko (adaptation period) and Dele were always looking like signings made for next season.

The current 'style of play' or tactics are being used due to the position were in. This summer we should see a rebuild and a shift in tactics towards Lampards style.

With ball players keeping it on the deck we should start to see the best from Dele.

How the hell was a player like Dele, a 26 year old with 7 seasons in the league, signed for next season?

Not a chance he was signed for next season mate.

He was a typical, Everton “hit and hope” signing. Once he was good and now he isn’t and we hoped that something as simple as a change of scenery or playing under Lampard might magic the best back out of him.
 
We have to get rid in summer if we go down, and even if we stay up id still be in the mindset that he needs to go.
Not what we needed then, not what we need now and not what we need going forward.
 

Yeah talented players who know how to score and assist have NO place at Everton.
Would that be the one goal and zero assists in 18 prem league games this season, or the zero goals and one assist in 15 games the season before youre talking about.
Or are you really referring to a different player?

Hes at Everton cos his career has nose dived, but we havent given him a chance here, the fans or the manager.

We have seen the player Dele can be, I think hes been bright when hes played for us and would really like to see him given more minutes.

Im not suggesting we drop Messi for him, but even at his worst hes head and shoulders above most of what we have.
 
He hasn't started a game.

Hes a second striker/we don't play that position because we haven't got the midfield to support it.

If we stay up - he'll play a part. Example - his cross for the West Ham equaliser.
