If he plays he can be devastating, can't see Tottenham winning the trophy though.
Spurs on for the double - carabao and europa .....
a front four of kane, dele, bale and son... like the days of Ardiles as manager
It's all in Jose's head. He's got to play to strengths. But can a leopard change his spots?
4-1-3-2 best formation from now to end of season. Just go for it. Nothing to lose.
Harry & Bale up top. Son on left wing pinging crosses. Ndombele middle high. Dele right of middle and swapping with Bale. Doherty and Regullon overlapping full backs. Holberg anchor shielding the centre backs.

It's a risky attacking formation you are suggesting. Maybe Hojbjerg and Ndombele can anchor the midfield with Dele behind Kane central, swopping occaisionally. Leaving Son on the left and Bale on the right, swopping occasionally. Then have the fullbacks priority to be defenders. Looks like it could work on paper but on the pitch ????
One game and suddenly he’s “got his swagger back”? Maybe wait and get some context from how he does in the next few games before making such a sweeping statement, hmm?
The more suitable quote would’ve been:
“Wolfsberger weren't great, so we can't get too carried away”
“Wolfsberger weren't great, so we can't get too carried away”
Maybe wait and see if Moaninho actually picks him again or finds somene else to fall out with?
To be fair the headline is a question
The headline says "Can Alli help Spurs become a force again?"
AGAIN!
When has Spurs ever been a force?
Terrible reporting by the BBC again, they are turning more into the gutter press and TalkSport every day.

Just keep him away from the England set up,,,,, as soon as he hits form it will all go to his head again
Southgate has plenty of nearly men to choose from already, Alli and his chum Lingard had their chance`s with England and they will blew it.

2 HYS on Ali and Co. No HYS on Championship like the only license payers would be Spurs , United and EPL clubs supporters.
Barnsley, Swansea and Norwich to go up. Hounslow bus shed FC to bottle it again.
Come on you, Tykes. You can do it.
Ali was amazing as much as my deli for lunch.

The BBCs third favourite team hammered some poor minnows.
Of course they will milk this within an inch of its life...

What is your problem with Brentford? You consistently make derogatory comments about them to the point of obsession. 'Hounslow bus shed' is not remotely amusing or geographically correct; their new stadium, which is now a train stop in Kew, is light years ahead of the old one and doesn't deserve to be sneered at. Oh and Barnsley won't be promoted in this decade.
There have been only 10 comments in an hour. Are people starting to realise that footballers are unimportant and that there’s more to life than speculating on the next move of spoilt millionaires?
No.....it's Dele Alli and nobody is interested in him, even the Spuddies
Jealousy! Your comment stinks.
I hope so Mick.
Millionaires who pay millions in tax
Not this season
Being fair to Flair when on earth have Spurs ever been a force ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......
Ya know what I mean!
Ya know what I mean!
Unless we sign two top centre backs we won’t win anything. Flash sale required in summer.
Even with 10 centre backs Spuds would fail to win anything.....
It’s an article based on a quote. You know what quotation marks mean right?
Spurs have always had flair players, Dele Alli, Ricky Villa, Paul Gascoingne, Alfie Conn, Alan Gilzean, Lula Modric etc, same can’t be said for Wenger and Graham’s one nil army, that’s what separates us
The spurts were never a force, besides in the media minds.

And With stupid facial hair.
No. Not with Jose as manager.
Guaranteed to all end in tears. You watch.
History will repeat itself...

The relationship between Mourinho and Alli is already soured
The relationship between Mourinho and Bale is tense
It's a matter of time before the dressing room splits and we see the classic Mourinho 3rd season meltdown!

Everyone is still on Jose over the Luke Shaw thing, it was definitely unnecessary but Shaw did put on a load of weight pre-season.

Yeah - did you watch the game?
No they are not, hence they did not win it and then got rid of the non winning manager, replaced him with a winner and they are still the same, work it out ??
and bottled it after 90 seconds saying the penalty changed the match, you lot still had 90+ minutes and couldn't hit a barn door!!

2 years of absolutely nothing. 1 moment against a village team doesn’t suddenly make you world class. Cool it - it’s hype like this that ruined his career.
60 years of nothing from his club - both well suited.
Alli has been stealing a living at that club for too long.
At long last, he's pulled his finger out for a couple of matches, so what!
He only has loyalty to himself and is only making an effort now for himself.
Get rid.
Btw: Not a Spud myself but a great win tonight. If this opposition are nothing special, that's not Spurs problem.

Maureen wont play him in premier league. That says it all.
So Spurs only beat nothing opposition. This season they have beaten Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. Also knocked Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup.
No surprise that the majority of comments are negative, that's modern football fans, all bants and acidic comments, god knows what these fools would have said about Greavsie, Bobby Charlton, George Best etc. All they can see is the sour side of everything, they hate to admit anything is good and even critise half their own teams, most couldn't even spell supporter.
Your absolutely right , problem is these armchair critics have all the answers - to nothing. Crystal ball sooth sayers who think it’s brilliant to post guff. Probably boasting to their mates , look look what I wrote , I’m brilliant eh ..... yeh genius
Absolute twaddle. In the era of the greats you mention they didn't promote themselves as anything special. Their managers & team mates made sure they remained humble if needed. Compare this to todays pampered prats taking to social media to bore people with their childish antics & the media overhyping after less than a handful of displays it falls on the fans to give them a slice of the real world
It goes both ways though, too many fans believe every single thing about their club is perfect and anyone who criticises is talking nonsense regardless of how they put their view across and even if they provide some factual evidence to support it.
Example, if you think City's spending is OTT go on 1 of their HYS's then simply quote 1 of the many stats to support it and watch the replies you get.

He scores one goal and all of a sudden he's back in the frame. BBC journalism at its worst.
I agree about the recent crap, assuming you're on about lamela and Moura. Lively and busy, doing nothing. I don't understand the praise. Look at the pair of them stats for 2 seasons. Lamela so far, no goals, no assists, last year 2 and 2. Moura 2 and 1 so far, 4 and 4 last yr. 8 goals and 7 assists from 2 att/mids in 2 years, that's is dung. Did you watch dele v WHam.... don't think you did.

There are pros and cons to any era of football, and incredible players in their own right. But just harking to the past is a disservice to what the sport has progressed to.

I agree with you that big club footballers are pampered, as are people across the rest of the entertainment world. But I think your defence of negativity is misguided. Only need to point out "Hey, you're getting more in a week than most people get in several years - so make sure you earn it, on and off the stage".

Dele Alli sums up Spurs completely, World beaters one game, garbage the next, which is why they will not win anything this season ! something is wrong with the club they have good players but seem to be missing something ?
They for me need a Roy Keane at his peak type of player somebody to bully them into it they are too soft & gutless when it matters.

They have that person in the Manager. JM is known for the tough love rather than the arm around the shoulder. I agree with you in that they need a Captain / Leader who gets them going on the pitch. Keane would have certainly sorted a few of them out.
Correct. Based on the amazon prime doc, their captains team talks consist of generic sound bites “come on” “we can beat them” “let’s do it”
That doesn’t win you anything
That doesn’t win you anything
Any team in the EPL would be improved by Roy Keane at his peak. Hardly in depth genius to suggest that. How about Maradona at his peak too? Van Basten maybe?
Roy Keane???
The gutless cheat who disgraced his profession???
Deliberately ended another player’s career, then sold books off the back of it.

You know this article is about one individual player, not Spurs in general right ?
Crap reporting. He scores one goal and all of a sudden bbc suggests he can help spurs be dominant again. Spurs have never been dominant. What a load of bolony .
2 years of absolutely nothing. 1 moment against a village team doesn’t suddenly make you world class. Cool it - it’s hype like this that ruined his career.
Bale got his swagger back against Wycombe Wanderers...
I've always said spurs would do better in the championship, they'd prob win a trophy tbf
Exactly and ill bet Alli is cringing at this article it sets him right up for ridicule, I mean it was an austrian relegation struggling team! I'm sure dele is chuffed with the quality of his goal but also very aware about the standard of opposition, this article really just invites trolling
Yes, both sides were poor. Did you watch the semi final?
In answer to the headline, im going to say no, didn't read the story but assume it was standard bbc nonsense
On the pitch it's a psychological problem . Have some balls of steel about ya' . Don't get to a semi-final or final and bottle it or choke !
The problems within the club are deep as well , at board level . Past 30 yrs 1 or 2 trophies , poor . How many different managers and coaches , then sell your best players . When you do have a decent head coach like Poch getting us to a CL final he's fired.

We've done better than any team outside the old Sky4, and recent addition City. Apart from the odd underdog benefiting from the football gods, trophies have been distributed round the same 5 clubs. The leap for the rest to compete with them with any consistency is huge. Stil not there yet, but spurs have been closer than most. Just how it's been. Everyone else's record against those teams is poor.
Poch was fired for throwing away the CL final (we managed to lose to an underperforming Liverpool) and then failing to lift the squad the following season, even with all the expensive new signings he'd asked for.
There was a time when MU, BM, Barça and RM could pick and choose who they wanted from other clubs. Now Spurs don't sell any player unless they want to.

Stop with this nonsense if anyone who was not british did this nobody would be all over this a bicycle kick may be impressive but not against a team struggling in the Austrian league!!!
In reply to the question, the answer is no, and a resounding no at that.
Deli Alli had one good game and suddenly he is going to save Spurs and Jose ?
I think not, Deli Alli is a talented player when it suits him, much like his chum Lingard.
Jose won`t play him in the PL, and he won`t play Bale unless he has to.
Spurs need to sack The Toxic One asap if they want to achieve anything in football.

Nonsense. That goal would have been just as brilliant if it had been scored against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Kidderminster Harriers.
Makes absolutely no difference who it was against. Brilliant goals, are brilliant goals on any pitch, against any team.
If you tried that, you'd fall on your ar*e.
Go away and get help for your childish bitterness.

Hey Jose, Celtic are looking a new manager, have a go up north and see how you get on !
I doubt the Scots would put up with Jose childish rants and vile attitude.

Love dele.
Dont know and cant comment whats changed but its obvious he wasnt performing to the levels hes shown that hes capable ov for 12/18 months, at least on a consistent level.
If u want to b a top player, u have to show that week in, week out.
My hope is he can do that at spurs, with or without jose. He is deffo capable of it,

Can’t see it happening, must be on a decent wedge and Nufc won’t pay his wages, can’t see Ali taking a pay cut
However bad it gets for dele he wont go to Newcastle. Stop reading the tabloids. Fake news
No chance of him going to a club scrapping against relegation, I can see him leaving Spurs but it will be to a top club, and he will probably flourish under a different manager.
Hope not. He'll think he's better than everyone there & won't feel the need to put in any effort. IMO no-one should sign him till he's delivered a full year of good PL level performances and he's got back to being a regular starter.
If not- well he won't be the first player to show a lot of promise & then fades to nothing & never revives his fortunes.

any teams lose v liverpool or city and the lose - spurs lose to liverpool or city and we 'choke' or 'bottle it'
Aside from the literal meaning, i dont know how a team of 11 players chokes or bottles a football match?!

Sensible comment at last. Chelsea will be next now the oligarch has reopened his war chest. If your club is not owned by an oil state or oligarch etc..you will just be one of the mortals. Huddersfield arsenal in the 30s + with Wenger were magnificent as were liverpool in the 70s and 80s. Spurs in the 60s were great. In those times trophies were still shared Now trophies go to££££
Crouch summed it up correctly. Has the ability but there's a question about his attitude. So unless the attitude is correct for every training session and every game then he won't become a regular. Managers , team mates and fans want to see the commitment. Until that happens he'll be in the supporting cast. Don't blame JM for demanding that.
Sir, you are so correct. He started to believe he wqas bigger than Spurs and dreamed of big money elsewhere, such as at PSG. Only after the January transfer window closed did he realise that he wasn't as sought after as he thought he was, so he biuckled down and started training with a better attitude. It is not a Manager's job to give someone a better attittude, its the player's responsibility.
Spot on. To those saying it's the managers job there is only so much they can do, attitude is ultimately in the players head. Supporters & the media can speculate all they like no-one but Dele knows the reasons behind his decline in recent seasons & no-one but him can put it right. We all know there is a fantastic talented player in there & I would dearly love to see him thrive again, we need him!
He’s been good in a couple of games against terrible opposition this season. If he can perform in the PL then he’ll walk into the team.
What I find strange is that pundits don’t seem to realise that Ndombele has been much better and has replaced him in that midfield position. They all seem bemused as to why Dele isn’t starting, as a spurs fan it’s obvious.

I'm a lifelong Spuds fan. The comment is spot on and i wonder whether under the relative success under Poch (particulalry in the last few seasons) went to some of the players heads (and they just got fatigued and were dreaming of their next adventure - like Erikson.
Would love Dele to come back fighting and be happy to make a legacy with us. I also think JM is correct. Nice to see Bale on form.

Ali should move in the summer. He has lost Moaninio’s confidence and history shows that will end in tears. Bit of success on the pitch could attract buyers. New club, new career opportunities will make him a better player, would be mad to stay at Spurs
Spurs will have a new manager

What!!

Fortune teller?!
When Lee Sharpe, Ryan giggs and co were late coming back from a party once, Fergie was in his car outside waiting for 23.00 to pass so he can walk in and drag them out by their ear holes!!
That’s man management. Changing attitudes!!

Beat me to it my friend, BBC lovies aren't they bless em. I see we had Jermaine Genius' 'greatest goals' to 'celebrate' his birthday on here the other day. I literally didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It’s a typo, they meant ‘Farce’
Farce maybe - force never
According to the BBC and Sky they're one of the big six. Not sure how only winning two league titles makes them part of this elite, thats far less than say Everton or Aston Villa. Maybe its not what you know, but who you know?
I always thought Deli Alli should open a chain of eateries in alley ways. Deli Alli's Alley Deli. How can he not!
The man can't even be a**ed to kick a football around, doubt he has what it takes to run a deli.. then again people buy anything so he'd prob be fine with some licensing deal lol
I think you've won the internet today with this comment Doug - well played! He would certainly sell a lot of subs that's for sure - we're on a roll here

I think its quite clear it was a general comment about the disproportionate amount of articles he seems to have about him for someone who isn't playing that much or really done anything at all silverware wise. Then again is he one of a very few who have entertainment agents so it might just be that.
Dele Alli sums up Spurs completely, World beaters one game, garbage the next, which is why they will not win anything this season ! something is wrong with the club they have good players but seem to be missing something ?
They for me need a Roy Keane at his peak type of player somebody to bully them into it they are too soft & gutless when it matters.

It has been a difficult season for Tottenham's Dele Alli, but a wonder goal and two assists against Wolfsberger in the Europa League on Wednesday showcased what he still has to offer.
The 24-year-old midfielder has played just six times in the Premier League for Jose Mourinho's side this season and has not started a match in the competition since being hauled off at half-time
