ky Sports pundit Tony Cascarino has called for Dele Alli to be dropped after Spurs slumped to a 4-1 defeat against Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
The 21-year-old struggled to make an impact during the game and extended his run of poor form. He was also very lucky to have avoided a red-card following a reckless challenge on Kevin de Bruyne.
Alli is widely regarded as one of the best up and coming talents in Europe and has won the PFA Young Player of the year award during the past two consecutive seasons.
Speaking to TalkSport, Cascarino said: “I think he’s played too much football. When managers are rotating and leaving people out – I felt he should have been taken out of the firing line. He’s a young man. I’ve been there myself where you just struggle and you’re not quite on it.
“I haven’t seen Dele Alli really make an impact in the last month since the Real Madrid victory, and especially yesterday, where he was certainly second best.”
