I think with Dele it's where he keeps doing it. These flicks are fine when you have 7-8 other players between the ball and the goal. When it's 10 yards outside your own box it's an issue. If he's been told not to do it and yet does, I can see why he's getting criticism. Of course this is hypothetical, but I could well imagine it being the case. He had a good first 45, but he was very poor after the break. Jose was asked a direct question and answered it directly. Not a problem for me.Lucas Moura gives the ball away stupidly all the time but he’s not being given the same treatment.
There’s nothing wrong with honesty but you need to be fair. He’s got a track record of finding a player to blame.
