2021/22 Dele Alli

[Sheedy's right knee.]

He’s a good footballer, we’ve just got to rekindle his form. He played a great ball for Richarlison which culminated in what should have been a penalty.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

So I’ll put your question back to you, who should he be starting in front of?

He could have started in front of Iwobi. Against lesser opposition they might drop Allan or DVB and play him in a midfield 3

Could have but the manager decided one of Everton’s most widely derided players of the last 6 years should start before him (not to mention he isn’t a wide / right winger)
Against lesser opposition he might as well play Onyango for what we’re getting.
I truly hope we’ve got the Dele that did so well under Poch, but I’m yet to see anything but the Dele that didn’t impress Mourinho, couldn’t get into the team that got Nuno sacked and was so impressive under Conte he sanctioned him to go on a free without any replacement…….

Looking better every match, ball for Richi was superb

He shouldn't with the formation we played today. Eventually, when we have a bit more backbone, and Keane is sent to Derby County or Stockport or some other god forsaken place, we can allow Douc, Allan and Donny to rotate with Alli in front of them. Probably next season's formation.

The centre half’s a crucial, if you don’t have faith in your defenders haw can you attack with conviction. We aren’t as far off as we think.

if we have a solid defence he will have a better license to play his and our game

We're basically playing 3 defensive midfielders at the moment because of Keane. Shambles.

I agree, if He had Van Dyck beside him he would be fine but he can’t lead and Holgate isnt experienced enough. That tells me we need an overhaul at the back.

Keane is a senior who acts like a junior

Off topic slightly, but a fit Mina paired with a new centreback in the summer and we'll see a lot more of Alli.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

He would but he can’t stay fit. I love Mina because he’s got the right attitude. But we need a player who is available

A fit what? More chance of Lampard putting his boots back on

I'd love Lampard in our side right now tbf.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Extremely baffling signing for me, especially on a permanent deal as he doesn't appear to fit into any system this manager deploys. Still, will give him a chance as he cannot be worse than the players we've used in previous seasons.
