Tottenham boss Mourinho: We need a good Dele Alli

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho admits they've been missing a "good Dele Alli" in recent games.

After defeat to Chelsea, Mourinho was quick to highlight Spurs' injury woes while also suggesting that Alli - who has fallen out of favour under the boss - has been underperforming for Spurs all season.

He said: "(Sergio) Reguilon means something for our attacking football. Harry Kane means something to our attacking football.

"Giovani Lo Celso means something and a good Dele Alli that we haven't had yet also means something to that.

"It also is about not having the players to change things. It's also about the confidence."
