It is a silly comparison with Gerrard. Gerrard never had the freedom that alli has so Alli is going to have more goals and assists

I am not saying anything about will or wont he score them. For the simple fact that we just don't know it. No one does.
And the amount he has scored is good up to now. But still there is this brief line called "present" between past and future. I just don't like such comparisons for the reasons that
a) future is unknown
b) players careers follow in different paths
It is not my comparison, it is their. And once more, there are number of such ones that can look ridiculous watching back with hindsight. So I'd just would not give them any attention and let future results do the talking (again without saying anything what will or will not happen with Dele in future) - is that really so hard of a concept to grasp? And in the way- who of us is a pessimist? One who keeps clinging to past numbers or one who doesnt
?
Just don't want him rushed back, hamstrings need time and he clearly has a problem in that area.
Yep totally. Shouldn't need to be rushed back imo. We have plenty of depth in midfield. Feels odd saying that after the last few seasons!!
From that point of view, think it wiser to give him another week training rather than playing him v New castle - we shouldn't need him except maybe on the bench and even that might be debateable
Then hopefully fit v Woolwich either to start or on bench - either way very useful to have him availaible v that lot - and he likes scoring against them too !
Good foul by Kane there
Kane is going forward and the defender is coming to him, and momentum continues to take Kane into defender who, off is off balance, and both fall (and btw, not that it really matters but the defender was going the wrong way to pick up Dele anyway).
Don't think any ref would see that as a foul, just a coming together of players.
I mean it was obvious against Villa. Eriksen, Dele, Lo Celso and Ndombele are our best ball-handling midfielders. Dele does a lot of work that seems to go unnoticed.
Well, thankfully we have players who can actually play CM now and we don't need to have Dele play there. I do want him behind Kane though, I think it suits both them. I think by the middle of the year this will be our best 11...
-------------Lloris-------------
Foyth-Sanchez-Jan-Davies
------Winks-Ndombele------
-----Lo Celso-Dele-Son-----
-------------Kane--------------
That has to be the way forward offensively.
Perhaps Lo Celso centrally and abit deeper. Dele as close to Kane as possible and Son the outlet
if when he returns we are getting the player back who first burst on the scene with that energy, fearlessness and enthusiasm then great.
If we are getting the Dele Alli from last season, then thanks but no thanks.

Does anyone actually still disagree with me on this player?
Times running out for him simple as he's been poor for 3 years of by the end of the year he's still playing like that needs to be sold simple as. Living off the last for far to long
What was it that you said?
