But there is an argument that the whole team’s performance pre Jan 18 and post Jan 18 to date is night and day. There are lots of others players whose stats I’m sure look better in the previous period. One of the reasons Dele’s goals are down is because the team isn’t playing as well as it was or scoring as many.I'd say it was more indicative of how few goals Dele has since 31st January 2018 when Lucas arrived than how good Lucas has been. Dele's goals have dried up massively in the last 18 months
I’m not saying he’s without blame and think he’s a bit of victim of his own initial success. The most worrying thing for me is JM identifying him as a lazy trainer. I think it’s hard to be a lazy trainer and then be at full intensity for games.
