Poch said: “Dele Alli always can surprise and you can’t guess with him. He has an unbelievable personality and character and it is all possible with him,”
“He is a player who plays in his best position, he is a player who likes to run into the box, he is very often very clever in the box. In the box he looks like a striker because he is more than clever, he has made his mark.
“Outside the box playing like a midfielder, I saw him at 17 years old playing at Milton Keynes as a holding midfielder against Manchester United.
“And I don’t know, always he can surprise me, maybe one day he can play as a goalkeeper or as a full-back or centre-back.”
I’m confused.
Here are all of Alli’s passes from yesterday’s game. The red ones were successful and the blues ones were not. The pale blue one …is his assist.
Beyond the CHEAT to gain a penalty and whining at Janssen for having the audacity to shoot, I neither recall watching a performance that merited such high praise.
Poch has his wagons in a circle here.
I guess that’s how he earns his corn.
