I always supported him, but I didn't think he should've played every week. Actually I think he should've been dropped way more last season when he was off form, that's on Poch. He's only getting starts now because Lamela, who has been a far better performer so far this season, is injured and unavailable. Yes he's been overhyped but which young English talent hasn't. He's not a world beater, but he's still a valuable player and one that has earned our affections with his spirit and contributions.

Thought he was ineffective today
He is trying. He need players around him to be on form for me hes not a natural leader
So many times i saw today and weds him screaming for the ball looking to receive the through ball but it just never arrives

You know why he does it though, right?
He should be with them pricks that were on soccer am, all the flicks and volleys n tricks, but absolute failures at a senior level of football
He has had enough chances

Wonder what Guido thought?
“Dele wasn’t poor but Poch is never wrong so I support the decision to sub him off”

we need him playing every game. whine all you want about inconsistencies but he's one of the few on the team that shows moments of creativity that we desperately need
Listen, just because a player makes a run and puts their hand up doesn't mean it's the prudent play to send the pass. There is someone on the other end that actually has to make that pass and suffer the discontent when it doesn't work out. There is also a thing called game situation that may dictate not making the pass that will just come back down your throats. There is also a possibility of these things being a player looking busy.
It is NOT a deficiency to not be able to play a 'Pirlo ball' over the top AND in front of the GK every 5 minutes Dele puts his hand up. To be able to do that is a skill/quality on the positive side of the ledger for certain players not a technical deficiency. Instead of the Hollywood ball he wants he should be able to put his ass between the lines and pass and play like a MF is supposed to.
You're being duped. He's doing the opposite of what folks complained about Gerrard doing, instead of playing the Hollywood ball everytime he got it because he couldn't do anything else Dele is on the other side of the coin making movements looking for the Hollywood ball. It's a scam because it's all he's got.

Fucking love Del, but I'd happily swap him for Dybala.
I really don't like how he is throwing these Berbatov-style hissy fits several times in every game. He needs to look in the fucking mirror.
I would swap him for Mbappe or Messi.
Looking less like Lampard and more like Lingard these days.
Agree, he's a big game player so I'm told.
Fuck sake wake up.. we are a mid table team going backwards now.. what would attract Dybala to us when you consider his compratiot Poch is on his last legs?
Was hoping his goal against Everton might have been the confidence boost he needed to string together some form. Ineffective today unfortunately.
