Dele Alli at Everton

[Spurslove]

A few people have been asking why he refused to celebrate his goal on Sunday, saying his body language wasn't good. Like every Spurs fan on earth, I hope to God he's not feeling as if he wants away, or that he's somehow not happy behind the scenes for whatever reason. If he's been 'tapped up' by someone, with the way the sports news media is these days...I'm sure we would have heard all about it.

So, what's his problem?

 

[thebenjamin]

Zero problem imo.

 

[GetKaned]

He probably got blasted by Poch at half time.

OMG not the body language experts again

Oh very good... 'the body language experts...'

I wonder if you said the same when Berbatov was throwing his arms around and giving it the and the every week.

it was a shit goal. Top players don't celebrate shit goals

I was sat behind the bench on Sunday and a couple of times Poch got up to pass on instructions to Dele, I noticed that Dele kind of gesticulated his hands in a manner that looked like a bit of attitude, almost as if to say 'I don't know what you want'...

Not suggesting there is a problem and was most likely frustration, but a couple of us sat near each other noticed it.

 

[theShiznit]

Looked to me frustrated I'm sure if his initial shot had gone in he would've celebrated. Luckily it rebounded straight back to him to tap in.

 

['O Zio]

It was a tap in after a lucky rebound to put us 1-0 up against Burnley with plenty of the game left to play. It's not like he just scored a screamer in the last minute of stoppage time to win the World Cup or something.

 

[Col_M]

Chill. Its his new celebration and it takes more concentration than a fancy handshake.

 

[muppetman]

I missed the game as I'm on holiday in the South of France smashing the F5 button in the ITK thread but from what I read he hasn't started the season as well as he'd hope so perhaps it's more about frustration with himself?

 

[thfc1973]

He was probably just upset that Dier might be leaving tomorrow...

Sometimes I don't really understand what Dele's best position is. He looks good today as a box-to-box midfielder in a 5-3-2, alongside a holding player (winks) and a playmaker (Eriksen)

He's young enough that it could go either way. For me, player he resembles the most is Lampard. Obviously not physically. He's the physical opposite of Frank.

What I'm saying is, he's not fat. And by he, I don't mean Frank.

Barney Roney on Dele Alli. What's not to love?

Didn't think much of the head-shaking tbh

Obviously pissed at being subbed when he was the only one looking to create anything going forward.

Really? I didn't see any signs of him creating anything.

Well I'm not talking goal scoring opportunities here, more like getting us out of our own half kind of stuff.
