Didn't say perform well - said ok which I felt like he had. Wasn't his best but in my opinion not enough to be dropped from the starting 11.

I think a lot of people forget he is younger than Harry Winks and expect too much from him. He shouldn’t be undroppable but people also shouldn’t jump to conclusions just because he isn’t on top form
I think people are way too sensitive about a player starting on the bench. Its not 1995.
You only have to look at our last three games to see how much we are rotating and using the squad. Dele sitting part of a game out isnt some kind of punishment. If a player is underperforming I dont have a problem with rotating them.
We didnt, and he has picked it up, so the right decision was made to keep playing him, but personally, Dortmund, Apoel and Madrid is more than enough evidence for me that we can play brilliantly with our without Dele.
I thought that was a good thing.
I thought Poch handled him really well. Dele was obviously gutted about missing the CL games and then England banned him. If Poch had compounded that by benching him he would have had a seriously unhappy young player. Poch’s decision to allow Dele to play himself back into form was the right one - the only one imo.
All discussions aside, that boy would be one lethal opponent in futsal, i'd like to say mad skills but i'm to old to be coining such a phrase
Forgot about that ridiculous pass he made for Sonny until I watched that, Jesus Christ that was incredible.
Over-the-top ball to Kane on a volley wasn't too bad either
Spoke well after the United game:
"It's disappointing when you come to a place like this, you play well and you are hoping for a win or at least a draw. We felt we should have won really and to go to United and think you should have won shows where we are as a team."
Dele Alli says Tottenham are still in a 'fantastic position' despite back-to-back defeat

Am hoping that slating by Ashley Young gets a bit of fire in him and makes him realise his career has only just begun with us. The hard work starts all over again for him now and I think he'll pull a blinder and hit a hot patch sooner rather than later because of it.
Get off to adverts, focus on the training pitch and make the best of a very short lived career Del Boy
He'll be fine though. He's a special player and a speed bump like this can turn you into a proper player. Head down time for him now, he needs to obsess about his football and his Tottenham. If he does that and puts it first like he once did when he was a kid, he'll come back twice the player he was
he s almost back though, very good against Pool and decent against manu this weekend.
Don't think it helps who is keeping company with. #circles
Like who?
Surely this has reached even TFC by now?
