Dele Alli has underperformed enough for some Tottenham fans and they don’t want to see him play for their club again.
The England international was in stunning form when he first moved to Tottenham in 2015 and showed so much talent and class.
But the last two years have seen his performances drop and despite getting more game time in this campaign, he isn’t getting any better.
The former MK Dons man was on from the start as Tottenham earned an impressive 5-1 in over Mura in the Europa Conference League last night and still failed to impress the fans.
He was taken off for Son Heung-min before Tottenham scored their last three goals of the game.
However, he was chosen to give a post-match interview and the club posted the video on their Twitter account.
Fans who are fed up with his contributions to the team took to the comments to say their piece. Here are some of the best reactions:
Please don’t play him again it’s such a pain to watch him play

I think Dele has lost what type of player he is… creative provider? Support #10? Goal scorer? Winger? What is your role within the team?

Hopefully you ain't on the pitch

Sorry but I'm fed up. You've been given so many minutes and yet have been so poor in a spurs shirt.
Even dele knows his standards have dropped . He needs to be quicker and make more runs in the box . If he has lost his pace , he needs to learn to play with his strength, be stronger on the hold up play and don't delay passes and reduce the amount of touches .

He was so poor tonight, so sloppy. I’m sure he thinks he’s better than he actually is

For the better of the club and player it's time Dele left.

He highlights the terrible situation at THFC now. Players that we need to get rid of are virtually worthless, I think Dele would be good for a rival like Norwich but they would only pay£10m tops.
Put up a list of “must keeps” and it would be very short,
He is almost as nauseating as the vomit inducing Spurs TV presenter who always tries to put a positive spin on everything as per the script he is given from the Levy PR department
Quite a few young footballers go through this checklist:
Model girlfriend
Clothing line
Clubbing
Wannabe gangster attitude
With Dele, it also seems he lost a lot of his “edge”, which made him do stupid things, but he’s invisible without it. Right now, I struggle to think what it is that he does.
Face like a slapped arse in this video, which I think is a liberty all things considered.
A strange case. Not too many declines as precipitous as Dele’s. I’m struggling to think of any, maybe Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere though Wilshere had serious injury problems.
Certain players don’t reach their early promise or they slip back like Anthony Martial, Lindegaard or that Dutch player whose name escapes me who is at Barcelona now.
But none of them seem to have forgotten how to actually play the game like Dele seems to have. Maybe coaches would have more insight into this as they probably see it regularly. It’s sad for Dele, you would think once you have shown that talent it is always there.
A waste of space.
I was one of his biggest fans, but even I have had enough!
Let’s have it right …. He’s not a star. If he is he’s a very dim one.
If mourinho got one thing right it was dropping you Dele I’m sorry but you really are a waste of space it’s a shame we did got rid of you to PSG when we got the chance. As usual levy thinks you are worth 10 times more than u actually do.
No hunger, flicks would drive you bonkers. If he starts against Villa we’re doomed.
