But Alli was playing games and scoring when Jose first took over.

If Alli put in a shift off the ball, was a team player with the ball and continued to score goals he'd fit in fine and play.

He was playing and scoring at first but as Jose said, he hadn't changed the tactics much from Poch in those games. He hadn't put his Jose stamp on the team yet and Dele played with a new manager bounce. We also kept conceding lots of goals so Jose was always gonna change it. Once changed, Dele didn't adjust his game to Jose's liking.

With regards your 2nd sentence, I actually agree he could fit in fine. But Jose doesn't. There's a player there but the two don't seem compatible. I imagine they've fallen out and Dele's had his tantrums, upped his effort and still not gotten in the team. Its probably just gone sour now so best he leaves. I can see both sides of it but Jose is the manager and he knows whats required to win.

I generally agree with you but we have a clear spot available for a 3rd attacking player. If Alli performed at his best he could play very regularly.

Imagine the carnage in here if he goes there at rips it up.

He needs to get away from Jose quickly and play with a footballing team. Playing the role of a brick in a wall just isn’t Dele. The likes of Kane and Son will put up with it because they are ‘company men’ the sort that won’t make a fuss.

They "put up with it" because they are able to adapt to the new system, even thriving in it, something Dele seems to struggle with.

I hope its a loan, I dont see Jose being here for the long term, and his replacement may well get the better out of him.

Got a Tendon injury according to Jose which is why he wasn't involved against ShUtd & why he's a doubt for Mon.
