I know hes a good player, but his last 3 or 4 performances have been shite. Bad touches, losing the ball often. Generally pussyfooting around. I hope he knuckles down and starts producing again.
Hes always been like that for as long as I've seen him play. But his goals masked his very obvious weaknesses in games. Early this season he wasnt scoring, so he looked very poor and I was one of his harshest critics. However, hes been socring important goals for us again lately so for now I'm shutting up my criticisms of him
Nothing really came off for him today.
His first time lay off to son was great but it was always going to be offside
Tried too many flash tricks and failed to actually influence the game
Beat thing he did was a long range shot which to be fair their keeper always had covered
Had a poor game but so did our entire front line
I only really think Lloris, Vertonghen and possibly Wanyama and good games today
I disagree, it's part of who he is. If you take away stuff like that you take away some of the unpredictable that makes him stand out.Its this that winds me up. When its a tough game, theres no need for it. Just concentrate on the basics.
Toby to make that list as well?90th best player in the world, according to the Guardian today.

Lloris bound to feature in the top 75. Maybe Kane will. Doubt they'll have noticed our full backs.

He scored but thought he was really poor the other day. The countless attempts of nutmegs are not needed and should be left on the training pitch. I don't mind him taking risks with audacious goal attempts or through balls and such but in general play I really wish he'd keep it more simple and retain possession better. He's starting to look quite erratic.
We need to remember that Dele is only 20 and not the finished article. We can clearly see the talent but young players can have dips in form.
Just out of interest, I was comparing his PL record with Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.
By the end of the season in which Lampard turned 21, he had scored 10 goals in 84 Premier League appearances for West Ham (inc previous seasons).
When Gerrard turned 21 in 2001, he had scored 8 goals in 74 PL appearances for Liverpool.
Dele has scored 14 PL goals in 49 appearances for us and he still has up to 21 matches to go.
