Dele Alli - Player watch

[Tucker]

He’s a wonderful player, we get the best out of him at spurs due to the way he links up with Kane, Son, and Eriksen. Southgate needs to take note and start playing him further forward for England.

Outstanding player and still so desperately underrated. So clever, so skillful and so much shithousery. Love this kid.

 

[JCRD]

He has definitely matured. In previous seasons he would be Dilly Dally Dele but now he is just Dele

Super effective player

 

[SpartanSpur]

Being the 1 in this recent 4-3-1-2 does seem to be a promising set up for us and Dele, with Eriksen deeper. Son and Kane is a very handy front 2 also.

Loving the evolution of Dele this season, turning into a special player already. That finish last night was pure class.

Our go to guy in the big games

I wonder what BusConductor thinks of Dele now?

 

[Jemster]

Absolutely love Dele. Great technical ability, manages to find those pockets of space in tight areas, and ghosts into the box which must be a nightmare to defend against. Seems to be stepping it up a gear this season too...

Really liked this article, which highlights dele’s development in some of the less talked about ways. Confirms what my eyes have been telling me...that Dele has been a machine defensively this season. How lucky we are.

I've always got so much enjoyment from watching Spurs - even when we were absolute toilet - but the pure joy I get from watching us now is due in no small part to the exciting, unpredictable and highly skillful football our Dele plays.
Quite easily my favourite player since Gascoigne lit up the lane, and I am always a tad disappointed when his name is not on the team sheet. He is a Spurs player through and through in the cultured tradition of Hoddle, Gazza, Ginola, Berbatov and VDV - we are lucky to have him and if he didn't play for us I would be very envious indeed. I hope he plays for us for a very long time.

Absolutely this. The two Harrys are obviously Spurs through and through, Eriksen is just a wonderful player, and we have a number of other players that are excellent.

But Dele is the one at Spurs who completely encapsulates the 'Tottenham way' in the way that he plays. I think if you could build the perfect player to play in that legendary 'Tottenham way,' it would be him. Just about sits comfortably among the players you've mentioned in terms of the pure enjoyment he provides fans when he's at his very best, and there's no high compliment at this football club than that.

Maturing Dele showing signs of Bergkamp-esque brilliance

It's hard to believe that he will still be eligible for PFA Young Player of the Year next season. It really puts things into perspective as to how good he is.

 

[jonnyrotten]

Any news on his injury? Pickford lucky not to get a card for that.

 

[bomberH]

Pickford is a proper **** for that. He just looks like someone who would 2 foot his nan while she’s picking up a tennis ball in her back garden.

****.

 

[spursfan77]

Would be just our luck for him to be injured again

 

[SugarRay]

He was playing superbly before going off. He’d have helped himself to at least another goal or assist today had he stayed on.

 

[branchie]

Hamstring apparently ...

 

[jonnyp]

Poch says taken off as a precaution, hopefully not serious

I would of rested him midweek anyway. Hopefully he is ok for Wolves
