Dele Alli is a big game player 100%. He’s scored in their FA Cup Semis, derbies, and big UCL ties. Today should be no different. In the City game, although he didn’t do anything amazing what he does it ties all the play together, his role has changed the past two seasons now Son has come he’s deeper and I don’t think he’s bad at all. him Eriksen and Moura all need to step up, as well as the defense and Hugo. Team effort remember. Alli and Moura need to step big time it’s their chance to shine and make a name for themselves.

The thing is when Kane’s out Dele needs to be there out and out striker, son plays better in a more free role rather than exclusively down the middle that much is evident. If you look back to around December when Kane picked up his first injury of the season Dele went to striker vs Fulham and thrived until he eventually picked up an injury of his own. If he’s their target man vs Ajax with Lucas making runs beyond they will cause a real threat towards Ajax.

The only time dele is able to play to his full potential is when he is released of defensive duties. They need Wanyama and Sissoko on the field to create that. Without them he will always have to drop deeper than he actually limes to play. Dier is just to slow. Dele for me is the best in what he does at the moment in the league. He's been consistently injured this season but has come back early every time. He's even been at the semifinals of the world cup, and now he's playing with a broken hand. I agree he needs to step up for this last crucial part of the season.
