I think the other thing that people forget with Dele, and his stats - we played a very different formation, and tactics last year - particularly from December on, when we went to 3 at the back and effectively played Dele as a 2nd striker behind Kane.

This year, Dele has played in the more traditional AM role - which means less direct goal chances, and more defensive responsibility. Dele has been adjusting to the new responsibilities - and still putting up impressive stats.

His ball retention in tight areas is a lot better. There was a lovely moment in the first half when he rode the challenges of two Chelsea players on the inside-left.

He's definitely changed up his game lately and is moving the ball quicker which was my biggest frustration of his earlier in the season. Now that he's looking to pass more than dribble his form has improved a ton.

So what you are saying is that Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes had 59 goals and assists combined, and Dele has 64 on his own?

Ffs Poch get him off!!!

He's done a number on the press and Southgate here and made them look stupid in the process, the perfect way to answer your critics is to turn up in big matches and perform and he did that. His mentality and his determination is really on point for such a young player.

Lovely summary at the end of the Guardian match report:

Eriksen was excellent again here throughout. But somehow it always seemed inevitable that Alli would make the difference. The heightened pressure around him in recent weeks, the hand‑wringing at the odd fragile moment is unsurprising. This is the dominant weather system of English football, a corrosive, endlessly sceptical revisionism applied to every talented player. Two vital goals were a wonderful riposte, on an afternoon when Tottenham’s coherence, the sense of greater purpose around this team, found a cutting edge in the pure, non‑negotiable talent of their roving No 10.

I don’t rate Southgate as a tactical genius coach, but I admire how he is going about managing England. He wants a system that suits the squad and is looking to find a balanced team, where the sum is greater than the parts. Something Capello and Eriksson never came close to finding (whilst wasting our golden generation!). If Southgate finds a formula that works for him then I’m not too fussed if Lingard gets the nod over Dele. He clearly sees our biggest asset is pace, and for that reason he’s looking at a 3-4-2-1 with oodles of pace in the 2 AM roles. Not sure Lingard is that Quick though. Either way, it’s a squad tournament and I’m sure Dele’s class will ultimately shine through at the WC.

Funny thing is I'd say Dele is better suited to the role Lingard played in the friendlies, but I'm not sure if Southgate agrees. I think he'll start though. He has too much about him.

My mate is a black cabbie and bumped unto Dele last night outside Zouma restaurant in Central London ... Dele stopped and spoke with him for ages even though he was with an elderly couple. He spoke all things Tottenham and all class.... A really nice kid my mate says ... Good to hear... I thought I'd share
