Was interested to get some views on Dele Allis role this season with a change if formations or system and what he would need to do to make a real difference this year.
I think NDombeke with help open the field for a more dynamic runs into space but last season Dele did tremendous in defensive roles but wasn't as great a factor going forward.
Seeing as Lamela looked a lot better in the first preseason game,what holds fir Dele Alli this season?
I think dele is in for a challenging season, I think that we are setting up for a similar formation at Juventus did during their run to the champions league final when they had Pogba in the team.
It was roughly
Buffon
Lich Chiellini Bonucci Alex Sandro
Pirlo
Marchisio Pogba
Vidal
Tevez Morata
I think we are going to see Dele in that Pogba position personally, I think that this season will be challenging as he transitions into that role but long term we will reap the reward big time from it, Dele isn't as technically astute as the likes of Winks/Eriksen or even Ndombele/Lo Celso but Dele has unbelievable instincts, he makes incredible runs and has the Lampard ability to be in the right place at the right time. He also has tremendous physical ability which I think is why Poch is insistent on bringing him further back but the problem is he's not as good a passer as you'd expect from a player in that position. Now I think short term yes you'd like to see Dele in that free role but the upside to this new position could be so huge, we saw it in our first goal vs Juventus and the run he made, although he wasn't used, that extra man could make all the difference.
He needs to improve his passing and also when dribbling make better decisions but his natural sensibilities should see him shine in this role eventually.
I think unfortunately some fans are going to get on his back early but we need to give him the opportunity to develop in this new role before getting the knives out, there's such a huge possibility with him in this role and if we are patient we will reap the reward, so I'm pretty much begging all of you to get behind him tbh.
I'm not sure how he would work that way with Ndombele apart from running into space and collecting the ball like the others will too.
Mind you as Dele can get stuck in,maybe as NDombele goes to the box,Dele can sometimes cover.
I do think Eriksen/Lo Celso will be a factor as well.
Lots of combinations available if it happens
It won't be a static attack!
Dele Alli has turned into Dilly Dally
Looks like the typical celebrity player. Great early in career but then social media, girlfriends, fashion, lifestyle, money take over.
He needs to get his bite back
