Don’t get this hatred for Alli at all. If his header had gone in which it deserved to do that would have been 3-1 and I believe game over.

His header 'deserved to go in', i'm not sure i understand that at all. He got in a good position and missed another chance. Like in the first half when he kicked the ball straight at the keeper, if it deserved to go in, it would have gone in. His finishing lately has been woeful and if he doesn't have that, what does Dele really bring?

He’s just not a very good footballer. When in 5 years has he done a bit of magic that makes you go wow I can probably count those goals on one hand. All he’s good at is making runs into the box to get on the end of things and even those aren’t now ending in goals. If we can get £50m get rid hes our biggest problem trying to fit him in to a style of play when none of the top teams now play with a 10.

I can't see anybody willing to pay 50m for him based on the last 2 seasons.

Taking your post seriously I agree to a extent, it's not completely baseless. However, I would argue that when they work, having a player who does those Dele runs is a great asset, because it brings something unique. However, he is dependant on them, without them there are few reasons to keep him in the starting line up.

Constantly moaning at team mates yesterday.
Not just yesterday either

there was a point in the second half where he jogged with the ball after being freed. He was caught and dispossessed and he simply moaned at bergwijn.

the quality is there but he needs to give his head a wobble and quickly.
It’s difficult because you know if we sell he will tear it up at times - but we simply cannot afford his current attitude

but he’s not the only problem - and that’s the biggest problem of all!!

He had good numbers at a young age. It’s always possible that a team will think they can get him back to his level.

I’d rather hold onto him for a season and see how he performs with Kane, they have linked up well in the past.

Hoped he would be the player to step up in Sons and Harrys absence, that was wrong lol
Very unfair circumstances more quality is being lost from the team.
Dele is in a can't win situation he will forever be judged on goals...even though he contributes well in assists and work rate.

Well there we have him as our striker, that went well..

No words left for the guy. Rubbish once again.

Parrot's hold up play and work rate was far superior.

If he’s not playing in his best position then there’s no point playing him, put parrott up top, he offeres nothing up front
