The thing is, I can’t remember ever seeing any other player whose form has so drastically tanked. It’s not that he’s underperforming, it’s that every single thing he does is wrong. He is a total liability. He’s not even ‘in the right position’ or ‘putting a shift in’. It’s worse than playing with 10 men.
For a lot of last season he looked kind of invincible: strong, quick, decisive. Now he’s slow, gets knocked off the ball and looks bereft of any clue what to do.
It must be a crisis of confidence. He’s only 23 so I hope he just needs a rest.
He’s the next generation Deli Ali.
let's hope not. Deli's back story is awful, making it a minor miracle he achieved anything.
Indeed, and I find it bizarre how some are reacting to his recent form. There’s almost relish about getting the knives out.
His recent form is atrocious. His form for the latter part of last season has been as bad if we’re being really honest. There maybe some truth in his head being turned with all the links to other clubs but even so, he’s a professional footballer, paid handsomely, “do your job’ as my favourite pundit would say.
