Really don't think Winks and Hojbjerg should ever really play together but I'm glad Ndombele is getting a chance. Only he can change his fortunes here, all we can do is give him chances.
N’Dombele’s passing ability could be key to unleashing Bale, Son and Kane on lethal counters

There's definitely something in this Dele/Jose thing, the links to Real Madrid didn't come from nowhere, I think we'll see a 4-3-3 regardless going forward, the team is much more suited to it and Dele isn't a natural no10 anyway, I honestly don't see Dele sticking around much longer TBH.

Well about time Dele pulled his fucking socks up. He's been below average for 18 months. No more excuses

You are right, I agree on that. He hasnt been that great and think he has had ample opportunities.

I think Dele has entered last chance saloon. This is Mourinho's way of trying to make him angry and motivate him. Let's be honest, he's been performing nowhere near his true ability for some time now, and questions have to be asked when you still can't be consistent under two very different coaches.

You could see from Amazon documentary that Alli was vocal in his objection to hoofing the ball long and failure to retain possession. I suspect this has not been lost on Mourinho. I doubt whether this is the sole reason, but I'm sure Alli has questioned his tactics on more than one occasion

To be brutally honest, the magic number for me is £60m + and if we get that I actually wouldn't be opposed to it if we replaced him.

This current version of Dele is worth no more than 40m in my view. And that's being generous if I'm being honest. A team would need to believe they can get the Dele from 3 years ago back to pay any more than that.
