precisely how I feel too; not a fan of Spurs at all but it's good to give credit where it's due. Kane and Ali will be among England's finest for years to come. If you saw Ali dismantle Chelsea with movement and two headed goals you'd think you were watching a seasoned pro of many years but them two are but young boys really and can only progress
he was very poor against Liverpool the other week; in fact, Spurs are usually dire against that lot and you to wonder why
Even against Liverpool he hasn't been that good. Was okay at WHL, but went completely missing at Anfield. He didn't score against us, in either game against Chelsea or against Man City. Goals aren't everything but he does disappear a lot in many big games.
Harry Kane is just consistent,a step below top level, goalscorer whom is just about good for the title winning team, Delle Alli is potentially best English midfielder of his generation and already quite tearing the league apart... both players are much better than decent although can be little overrated, I believe they can look even better in a better team like United
I agree with what you said about Kane being consistent and a step below top level. Dele Alli tearing the league apart on the other hand..... His performances get blown well out of proportion. He isn't tearing the league apart. He has 3 good games then 3 average games. Scores a couple off decent goals here and there and he is supposedly likely to be the "best English Midfielder of his generation". I will be in the minority here but I really don't think he is that good. He is about Lingard's level and Lingard would be doing just as well as Alli is if he played for Spurs. A top 6 quality player but not a top title winning first teamer and certainly not elite European level unless he has some world beaters in and around him to take his team to that level. People talk as if he is the best midfielder in the premier league. If that is true then the premier league is very weak indeed.
Lingard is not on Alli's level...
Bit of a pointless post considering Spurs would never have sold him to us for £50m in a million years, and he would likely not want to leave anyway.
It might have been the summer before, thinking about it.
Yep people are blinded by completely irrelevant aspects of his play and it happens with a lot of players, he might not look great on the ball but it means nothing. He is an exceptional player, he is there to kick it in the goal, every team in the league knows how he plays and his limitations but nobody can stop him. Might not have the charisma or flashiness of some players but he is just about as good a goalscorer as you could wish to have in your team.
Serious question, do you watch spurs? some of your views seem quite frankly absurd, you are massively underrating Kane and Alli.
It pains me to read posts like this because it essentially justifies a teeny, weeny little bit of Glaston's nonsense.
Yes I do watch them. When United aren't playing. Spurs are a great unit I just don't think many of their players are that great individually.
Just an opinion. Lets see where Alli is in 4 years time. I don't think he will be right at the top as many expect. Also, Glaston's nonsense?
I can only laugh at Spurs missing on top 4 this year and some of the overreaction from their fans' camp but jeez what did you just write? With a bit of honesty, isn't that 3 good games decent and 3 good games average how Pogba performs this year? And Alli is 3 years old and currently 20! speaking about him like he's shit is ridiculous, a player who has so many years to reach his potential (could be in 8 fecking years!! which is like an average age to reach your top level) he's already at 13+6 this season, playing more attacking role than Pogba sure, maybe lesser potential than him but surely he can be a worldie too, considering also how good he was in his first season in the premier league as a teenager.
I never mentioned Pogba so i'm not sure why you added him to the equation. Pogba has had half good games and half awful games so I would say Alli has been the better of the two. That doesn't mean I think Alli has been great. I wasn't speaking about him like he's shit either, just not as good as others are implying or expecting him to be in the future.
FTFY
I agree, they are a great unit, and arguably a case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts team, but that's always an accusation when you are getting the best out of players, for instance danny rose and kyle walker, now considered two of the best fullbacks in the league weren't really up to much pre pocchetino, his system has brought them and others along hugely as players and its hard to work out if they can function as effectively outside of that system.
3!?? He's been one of the best players in the league at 3? If so sign him up quick imagine how good he'll be when hes 23 and out of nappies.
With all due respect, you're massively underrating Alli.
they guy would struggle to get into a team like Watford or Bournemouth, let alone a team above us in the league.If given the same role and freedom as Alli at Spurs I think Lingard would be at a similar level. I don't think that would ever happen but if given the chance I don't think there is a big difference in ability between the two. At United he will never get in consistently ahead of Mhki, Mata, Martial who are all better than him and all better than Alli IMO.
Lingard has never done anything to suggest he's capable of playing at that level just yet. You can't just cite lack of playing time to make up for that, but if you really believe it then why aren't you slating Mourinho for not playing him in the same role as Alli for Spurs every week? Either Lingard isn't as good as you're saying, or Mourinho is a terrible judge of talent.
Not a surprise once you realize he was playing for England.
You need to watch Alli more. The kid is the real deal.
Not a chance. You are talking shits. Alli is much more talented than Lingard and also performing at a much better level too. He is the real deal.
What the actual feck?
period. Agreed- well said
Nah. Another overhyped English midfielder being turned into an average no.10 for some reason. Much better than Lingard ( don't know know what that guy has been smoking) but I'd much rather have Rashford or Martial.
This
ROFL ok mate. Of course he is.
