2021/22 Dele Alli

[Bluestar]

I don’t agree.

I really haven’t seen enough of him to judge.

I know he was out of form at Spurs, so fitness issues etc will take some time to resolve. I expect Lampard to start using him next season when he gets other players that will let him play a system to fit him in.

Ali has talent. He needs his confidence boosting and time.

We have to trust Frank on this one, he obviously wanted him for a reason, he must have a plan.
But the circumstances haven't been right for him to build a team around certain players, to find a way to get Deli starting and being effective.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Not sure how he didn't get on. Squad looks goosed with no creativity or threat. Gray not scored for months, Gordon never threatening and the midfield doesn't have a pass or shot in them. If that wasn't a game for him what is?

 

[Magnifico1988]

Perfect game for him to come on. Feel a bit sorry for him now. Not sure what franks doing with him, but probably deserves a chance to start after that performance at Watford from some players. Gray/Gordon/doucoure all shocking I thought, mind you richarlison wasn’t too good either.

Should have been given an opportunity tonight ahead of Calvert Lewin

 

[samcdavies94]

That game was crying out for him. Can't believe we didn't adjust the formation to get him in midfield.

100%. Criminal that he was given AT LEAST half an hour tonight

 

[Preki]

If he isn't good enough to play against that lot what's the point?

 

[mightymoyes]

Who will take him off our hands in the summer?

I think the problem we have is we don’t have the players to accommodate him in this team. Needs a free role and we just can’t honour that in a relegation battle

 

[TheBigIguana]

There is nowhere to play him. He's not a wide player. He's not a midfielder. The closest thing he has to a position is as a #10 and we aren't playing someone in that role. He's really mostly just someone who hangs around and tries to make late runs to score.

 

[MACCA75]

Mad that he hasn’t started a single game. Not like we’ve been in great form for most of it.

 

[blueblood]

don’t understand how he’s being handled, given the lack of game time it would seem madness to play him a few more times next season and fork out a big wedge of any transfer budget.

 

[andy4efc]

Should have come on tonight.

Space there for him. Game at a tempo that would suit. Can strike a ball.

Was begging for him to come and be given the chance to contribute.

I’d have had him on at half time, but yup he should have had at least half an hour! Needed something different out there!
