Paul Merson has claimed that Dele Alli has ‘got his mojo back’ for Tottenham, as he told 90 min.
The 25-year-old has been a regular for Tottenham and Nuno Espirito Santo this season, after falling out of favour under Jose Mourinho.
`After scoring the winning goal against Wolves last month in the Premier League, Alli assisted during his side’s 2-2 draw at the same place on Wednesday night, as Spurs needed penalties to progress through to the next round of the EFL Cup, and could have claimed two more assists, if Spurs had been sharper in front of goal.
There is a lot of limelight on Alli during this campaign because, if he underperforms again, then the critics will be at his throat and it's likely his career at Spurs woud be over.
But Merson thinks the attack-minded midfielder is a ‘changed’ man and is starting to perform better.
“Dele Alli is playing better this season,” said Merson. “He’s got his mojo back and he’s changed his game.
“He’s getting in the box. And he scored as well, so I would go Dele Alli as well (in the Arsenal-Tottenham combined XI).”
They did well to knock Wolves out of the EFL Cup, but that doesn’t hide away them losing back-to-back London derbies 3-0.
Make that three at the Emirates then there will be no place to hide for Nuno and his players.
