Probably that Everton's normal #10 is staring down the barrel of a prison sentence. 

So Dele comes in, effectively on a free transfer and he might actual add some creativity sorely lacking from the raft of average wingers that Rafa kept signing. 
You’ve missed the point, I wasn’t referring to him, I was referring to Donny Van Beek who’s best and most natural position is the same as Dele Ali.

Like this formation, which Sky whipped up when discussing the Dele Ali/Van de Beek dilemma, a structure which has no balance whatsoever. 😅 

 
I admit I dozed off in the second half and missed a 20 minutes or so, but Everton only started to play in the last 10 minutes of the match. Also, that Hummel touchline outfit Lampard was wearing is beyond dull. No wonder I fell asleep.

 
Management won't ever be for him in my opinion, but he should definitely be brought in as a recruitment analyst, or what ever Cech's role was. 

His talent ID has been pretty spot on during his 2019-2021 management. 

Haaland, Bellingham, Rice, Caicedo

Everytime I watch him talk about the game I scratch my head at how he makes so many basic mistakes in management and coaching.

On paper he should have at absolute worst ended up a competent PL level manager.

Yeah its strange. 

On the other hand, he wanted to bring in Rice (who was still a CB with West Ham), Haaland (when he was still at Salzburg), Bellingham (when he was still with Birmingham) and Caicedo (when he was still with Independiente) during his tenure. 

Seems he can identify talent rather well as opposed to actually managing a football club.

It is very easy to recommended Haaland, Bellingham, and Rice. Even a fan like me could see their talent (not Caicedo, I have never watched him before Brighton). They are already playing at high level in PL or cl already. 

The hard part is to recommend signing player like Palmer and the even harder part is meeting your manager demand.

It's one thing identifying talent, another thing to both man-manage and have tactical nouse. Has much in common with S. Gerrard apart from the talent identifying.

As stated above, all three of them during that time were relatively at the very early stages of their career. Haaland breaking through at Salzburg, Rice who was alternating at CB at West Ham, and Bellingham at Birmingham. Doubt anyone would've predicted the heights they'd reach at the time.

Agreed. Management isn't for him.

Everyone wanted Bellingham when he was with Birmingham, same with Haaland. Both picked Dortmund because both knew they will play tons in Dortmund and Germany is a much better league for young player. Less pressure and the level of physicality is far less. 

Rice was already very good for a long time, but west ham never wanted to sell, they wanted 100 m when we signed kai/werner which is why we didn't get him.

And they knew Dortmund was a selling club, a stepping stone.

 
I've been begging for Joe Wilkinson to get the DOF role for ages.
