Great article OP, Ali for me is right up there as one of the best in the world, scores goals, creates goals, always at the hub of most things Spurs do well.

Dele scored 10 assisted 13 for us in all comps.

Ali since he started in the Prem has been right up there. Sane did next to nothing last season, this season he has turned up, and only has marginally better stats than Ali, who most think has not been at it this season. Ali over Sane all day long.

I'll agree with that
Don't think anyone in world football has won more pens have they?

Alli is definitely one of the best young players in the world. Almost three years now he has been an automatic starter at one of the best teams in the league.

He hasn't been at his best this season but I would have thought he is still in double figures for goals and assists.

I think he often looks one of our best players in the big games. A very composed player. Needs to become more ruthless and do less tricks though.

"It is difficult to criticise Dele."
Spurs fans haven't found it hard this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
agreed. Poch does come up with some nonsense at times, sometimes could be a mistranslation though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it is more a confidence boost for Alli. If Kane misses a few games then Alli and Son are your best hopes of goals.

This. End thread.

"Tell me one better than him, a 21-year-old, all that he achieves. Tell me one. A current player. Maybe you can find similar or better than him?

Errrrr....Leroy Sane anyone? I know he's just turned 22


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah made me laugh that too

Isn`t Sane like 22 as well. Poch I think said 21 year olds.

Honestly you couldn`t make it up how thick some posters are.

Just for end product he's up there as he affects games even when not playing that well.

Technically I think there are far better players but it's all a tad subjective.

""When you compare him with all the young players in the world, not only in Europe, I think he is the best."

awkward

Errrrr....Leroy Sane anyone? I know he's just turned 22 - so he's not 21

but Alli turns 22 in a few weeks - so he's 21

Logically you'd compare a player in that same position

Sane is a LM

Alli is CM/AM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Logically, you're talking through dirt-box.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Raheem Sterling is better than John Stones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many positions do you want Alli to be pigeon-holed into? You say Sane is a LM. He sometimes plays on the right, can we add RM? You seem to have forgotten how many goals, assists, Alli has made from the left of midfield or left wing. Alli - AM/CM/LM/LW/ST/RW - Sane, just a LM.

Alli is a good player, not the best in the world ability wise but his stats are great.

He's in the same academic year as Sane so it's fair to compare.

Has mbappe and dembele completely fallen off the map then?

Dembele is 30 but would agree he's one of the best players in the world

Alli is a great talent but thinks he's way better than he is, clearly has an attitude and always falls over with his gangly legs. He has been poor this season, anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. I can understand the reputation he is getting as if he wasnt a Spurs player i would really dislike the guy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This.

For what it's worth, I think Sane is significantly better.

Oh, and players younger than Alli who are at least arguably as good if not better...

Gabriel Jesus
Kylian Mbappe
Marcus Rashford
Ousmane Dembele
Kingsley Coman


...and then there's players like Marco Asensio, Thomas Lemar, Anthony Martial who are only a few months older than Alli...

Alli is comfortably the biggest/most marketable name, but that sure as sh!t doesn't make him the best player.
