He has been absolutely shit this season but somehow isn't getting any criticism. Massively overrated and nowhere near £150m... If you saw Coutinhos performance against Brighton it was absolutely world class and one of the best individual performances in europe for a mid/attacker this season, and imo Dele at his best could not put on that type of performance
1. Dele has been getting criticised - in his performance thread.
2. Coutinho was playing against Brighton.
3. Despite his form, Dele still managed to perform against Real Madrid (scoring twice
here and
here (okay, goals not exactly great)) and Dortmund (assisting
here and
here)
Still managed to beat Liverpool this season,
scoring a goal and
nutmeg Can. Not bad considering he's absolutely shit.
He's also 21 years old. He's going to be inconsistent. Coutinho at 21 had 5 goals and 8 assists in 37 games for Liverpool. Dele Alli has 7 goals and 4 assists in 18 games so far this season.
