Dele Alli

[the dza]

Thought he was our best outfield player v Saudi Sportswashing Machine.

Loving that tweet where Alli has 64 goals and assists aged 22, whereas Gerrard had 14 or whatever, what a gulf in impact.

A great player, did you notice his cross with his KNEE at some point? So clever, would have been an incredible assist.

nearly scored with his knee too

He is still learning the game ( imo) he will have to change part of his game to adapt that other sides are now marking tighter then they did before. The number of times in his first season that he found space was great, other sides will now look at that and try and restrict that space ( which they have done). I have no doubt that he will be able to do this and i expect another great season from him.

Same thing happened with Bale Iirc.

Might be early days, but I've got a great feeling about this season for Dele. He looked so sharp at times against Saudi Sportswashing Machine, those little moments of genius. My favourite player to watch when he's on form, he does things that other players don't even think of.

My favourite thing about Dele isn't his moments of flair - it's when he keeps things simple with brilliant aggressive movement into goalscoring positions, like for his goal against Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Beautiful in its simplicity!

He had his 'difficult second season' in his third season. But I think he's going to be a beast this year.

And let us be honest, if THAT was his "difficult second season" it was better than 98% of the players in this league. He STILL had a GREAT season IMO...

 

[P.D.]

So who can do his celebration then? Seems to be causing a storm.

Oh GHod! I thought it was bad enough seeing that video of Goerge N'koudou trying to do it. Now its caught on. Its not even good. Its just weird as he has some double joints in his fingers.

Who cares. Kids will love it, it'll get him a bit more attention, but other than that no-one gives a flying fudge.

Agreed more publicity our players get the better really.

Go directly to the front of the world class q fella.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Anyone notice he tried to score a goal with a shot through the defender's legs and then the keeper's? Lol, he's turning nutmegs into an artform.

 

[markysimmo]

He looks fit, happy, hungry and well up for it this season

 

[parklane1]

He is maturing every game and it will not be long before he is firing on all fronts.

 

[Cochise]

He's been our best player so far. I think Poch has him in a fairly similar position to that which Southgate had him in for England, although he looks more comfortable in that role now.
