Posted this in the match thread and was wondering what others thoughts are on it.
I really am concerned about Alli, his head looks like it is elsewhere, have had that feeling since preseason, part of me thinks it's down to the wages (the agent talk probably confirms this) and him believing his own hype a little too much, all the marketing he has been doing etc.
He needs to focus on the football and doing his job, I know he had an assist today and a player of his talent is capable of that but he could have equally have cost us the game with the amount of sloppy touches he was making and bad decisions.
Poch needs a word with him, looks a different player to last season, maybe next could do with being out of the team and replaced with Son for a few games.
What do you all think?
Nah keep him in and let him play through it, not sure I've noticed a difference with him anyway but even if he is distracted by agent talk or other things in his life make him play through it, he still contributes positively to the team regardless.
