No surprise to hear that he and Dier are best mates. Also interesting to hear that he considers Winks and Carroll to be the most knowledgeable about the game.

He said they know everything about football, so that could mean that they could tell you who won the FA Cup in 1947. He probably asks them quite regularly how many bookings he is away from a 2 game suspension....

Or what his Goal per Game ratio is like in comparison to Jack Wilshere.

The cheekiest face in football.

Great vid.

Interesting what he said about Carroll and Winks.

I love how Son always gets a mention in these kind of videos. Nice to see him fit in so quickly.

Before he answered when he was asked who he most wants on his team in the training matches I said Dembele, would definitely be my pick!

Knew he would say Rose as the biggest moaner, just looks the type. Just look at his face during games, always pissed off at something. :D

It's funny, bar the young guys – Carroll/Winks for manager?! – you'd guess most of those answers. Amazing how you kind of know what the players are like. Real heart-on-sleeve, what-you-see-is-what-you-get team

I was surprised when he said the Belgians were the loudest too tbf, they all seem quite quiet and chilled out

Ah see, a friend of mine met Jan/Moussa together at an NBA game and they were right party guys, so maybe that influenced it. Toby wasn't here then tho but he's clearly a talker too

Toby is definitely the exception he is exactly what we needed after Dawson went. A real vocal leader at the back and he has done incredibly well to improve Jan's form and also guide Wimmer through the games he has. His impact might not have been as sensational as Alli's but he has been one of the main reasons behind our success. Definitely the reason behind our defensive record.

I agree but that's on the pitch. In interviews and stuff they're quite laid back

Good to hear Bentaleb feature in a few of his comments too. Hates losing the most, one of the last off the training ground, him and Lamela competing in skills stuff. Not quite living up to the bullshit "charlie big bollocks with a couldn't give a shit attitude" that some have tried to suggest.

There's a cheeky confidence and at the same time devilish temperament about Alli that is infectiously likeable. And that comes across in interviews and on the pitch.

Listening to footballers "uurrm" and "you know the lads done well" their way awkwardly through these little video clips is invariably less interesting than those public information films we used to get in the 80's about the danger of leaving a chip pan unattended. But Alli's always got something to say for himself.

Him and Dier's revolution in to a proper DM...

Toby seems to be what i always hoped Dawson was going to be.

I'll always remember Dawson's response to "who's the longest in the shower?"

Disappointed that wasn't a question.

The interesting bit is who he'd want on his side, and I knew it'd be Moussa. Thats how important it is to have this guy tomorrow.

Not only hes very influential on the pitch but also other players look up to him, he is strong and gives them confidence.
