Again I'm seeing no Dele Alli criticism after another woeful performance (got the penalty but otherwise poor.)

Should Dele Alli have played for Spurs tonight?… https://t.co/LgGjUIFgEb by @5liveSport

Phil Neville has just described Dele Alli's movements tonight as "slow and pedantic".

Digging out Sissoko because he is shit is one thing but Dier and Alli have been absolutely woeful this season.

Tottenham will now concentrate on ensuring they qualify for the Europa League by finishing in third position. Although this will not have been the aim for the club, if they were to go far or even win that competition it would be a big achievement for the club. The players won’t get close to winning even the Europa League though if they perform as they have done tonight.
In Alli’s case, we must not forget that he was playing lower league football just 12 months ago for MK Dons. He should be allowed some poor performances as he is still young and we have already seen what he is capable of when playing well. Aged 20 Alli is the future of Tottenham, and although he will be rightly criticised for his performance on Tuesday night - the media and fans should perhaps look to put the blame elsewhere.
I think there were certainly worse players on the night for Tottenham. Son springs to mind instantly. Although he has had a good season to date, he was totally useless in this crucial game against Monaco. The likes of Wanyama and Wimmer also seriously struggled as Tottenham were outplayed allover the pitch.
