Every once in a while there's a new player the English public obsess over. It's almost propaganda.
The media lauds him so much that sheep-like fans fall for it.
Don't get it twisted. The guy is a decent player. He is an intelligent player with physicality, movement and an eye for goal.
The eye for goal being somewhat of an understatement as he has scored an impressive amount this season.
Putting his impressive goal haul to one side. People are quick to forget the guy is a midfielder being deployed as an attacking midfielder.
His general play and overall ability does not warrant the hype he is receiving imo.
The guy is decent to good. He isn't exceptional that's for sure. Very strange.
You have to hand it to Pochettino. He is getting the best out of his players. But this has led to people mistaking form for ability.
This Alli Hype Is Outta Control

I'm sorry guys but I have to be criticial here, Alli needs to improve, he only managed 16 touches, people call him a midfielder, 16 touches v a side we were all over, please for a minute look past his goals, you simply can't get away with a player who averages so few touches in that sort of position v the elite hence why we're a joke in Europe and he was at the Euros, all I'm saying is if over 50m came in for him I'd sell. We're a bonafide CL club its time we upgraded and had someone of Dybala's ilk in that position

Was it really just 16 touches? I was watching yesterday and forgot he was playing until he missed the open goal but was it really on 16 touches.
Alexis, Gibbs, Chamberlain all lost the ball 20 times each and Alli only touched it 16 times

I meant to say in the first half, you know when we were all over them, he goes missing in actual play way too often and is our most overrated player along with Lloris and Eriksen. Grow up ya pleb just because I disagree with 90% of our deluded fanbase I'm not a spurs fan, can bet I've been to more games than you, now run along

Same person who has Eriksen down as 6ft, which is also wrong.
