Yeah I agree with the sentiment. Dele seems to slow down our attack whenever he's on the ball. Also these totally unnecessary flicks and tricks are infuriating. It's like he rather waits 2-3 seconds to release the ball so that he can do a dragback or a ball roll.
I can't remember him being this slow and ponderous in his first two seasons with us? I do believe he saw less of the ball back then. He was more or less playing of Kane and he did what he's best at: making smart runs in the box.
Dele really excells at this one thing. But if he's not doing this one thing he's just quite mediocre. I've always liked Dele and I hope he can get back to his best football. To his defence he's made something like 4 goals and 6 assists since Mourinho took over. That's not bad at all, quite the contrary. But his overall play must improve.
At this point I feel like Dele wants to be another type of footballer than he actually is.
