Jose Mourinho offered a diplomatic answer when asked whether he can help Dele Alli to return to his best form this week and some Spurs fans seemed to agree with this idea.
In an interview with Sky Sports (SSN 24/10/20 at 2:00 pm), Mourinho suggested that it is up to the midfielder to prove that he deserves to play in a high-quality attacking line-up.
During Mourinho’s early days at Spurs, Alli seemed to have benefited the most from the Portuguese coach’s arrival as he showed glimpses of his old self in the number ten role.
However, his form levelled off after a few months and the midfielder has struggled to get into the side this campaign after the club bought in several new additions during the transfer window.
The midfielder’s only Premier League start so far this season came in Tottenham’s opening day defeat to Everton (transfermarkt.com).
Alli has been used as a substitute on a few occasions of late and the Spurs boss insisted that he has to prove that he is at the required level to start.
Let’s take a look at how some Spurs fans reacted on Twitter:
