I think we've done ok. Reguilon needs to do better defensively, though. Traore and Semedo are having fun

Wow Podence is 5ft5

Winks just doesn’t have the attributes required for the modern game. Technically ok if given time but Lacks physicality.

Winks has qualities (mainly retaining possession) that do not translate to a Mourinho side (does not care about retaining possession)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ndombele is great at retaining possession. He also moves it forward and scores occasionally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah he's just a much better player who can do more things
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But José doesn't like good players who retain possession?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When did I say that?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mourinho side (does not care about retaining possession)

He'd be starting Dele if that were true
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah really
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well no, because Dele isn't in the team because he wastes counter attacking opportunities - which a team that relies on capitalising on the few chances they get per game (seeing as they don't retain possession) can't afford to do

Not liking players who give the ball away in counter attacking opportunities is not the same as trying to retain possession

Do you really think Jose sets up to try and have 60%+ possession of the ball

I don't rate dele and agree with the treatment Jose is giving him

Same! Dele needs to sort it out. He's got the talent but he's no better than he was a couple of years ago. Arguably he's worse.

Splints in the arris

The only thing Dele is guilty of, is falling below the very high standards he previously set himself
