Is it just me, or does Dele seem even more mischievous and jovial than he even normally does atm?
He looks mentally refreshed after some of his struggles last season. His game on the weekend was the game of someone who had dropped the shackles of pressure and demand to perform, and a return to his carefree self who sometimes looks like he's having a kickaround with his mates, but in front of 10s of thousands of people.
It bodes well for us imo. He plays his best football when he's in that headspace, and the weekend was a good example, where i thought he was excellent. Looking forward to watching him this season.
Could it have anything to do with last year being a World Cup year and the pressure to make sure he he not only made the team but played well? Hope so as I hope it has enabled others in our team to step up a level in their games
