By comparison with some of the other lazy creatures out there he seems to have real desire.
This is the new list.
Dele, Moura, Lamela and even Kane and Son to some extent hang onto the ball much too long and end up losing it and killing our attacks.
In Dele's case, the ball just seems to have an aversion to sticking to him.
These are all attacking players in forward positions. They are operating in confined and pressured areas attempting sometimes marginal manoeuvres. I cut them some slack to an extent.
I dont know how to list it but Dele has big match mentality which is a huge skill. You may not like some of his past incidents but no one takes liberties with him, he is the first to stand up for himself and team mates. He also knows when he is in a big game how to pull it out of the bag at the right time.
Its hard to put into words how important this is and how other teams have had players of this type kill us because they knew how important it was.
I guess that is experience, which for his age he has lots of, he will not be nervous or overawed. I think it's fair to add experience as a strength.
What are his strengths. ?
Stamina and ground coverage.
Technique ( this might be debatable ) but not for me.
Football intelligence ( he sees the picture).
Can weight a pass.
Can be a cool finisher.
Movement.
Agility.
Good in the air
Tenacious.
Experience.
Please add to this, I'm sure there are more.
Then we can look at his weaknesses to see if they outweigh the strengths !!
Arrogance. And I like it. But he hasn't backed it up with consistent performances.

That's a wise crack but not true. His stamina was improving for starters.His weaknesses are he isn't delivering on the strengths you have listed.

What have passing stats got to do with stamina, let's get past the first one on the list.It's completely true. What are his passing stats in the final third compared to other AMs?
