Alli was previously too often getting on the ball in front of opposition midfield lines when he would prefer to be on the other side of them, and posing a more immediate threat on goal #THFC
Should an opponent move towards Alli too early, Alli quickly moves into the free space, or tries to find a pass to a teammate in that area. If they don’t follow him, he is left with space to turn #THFC
At 2-0 down against Olympiakos, Alli scored on the stroke of half-time, and it is arguable that he wouldn’t have been in the position he was to tap in so opportunistically following a defensive error were it not for Mourinho changing his role #THFC
