Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli: Mourinho? I blame...

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli insists he enjoyed playing for former manager Jose Mourinho.

Alli found himself in exile from the first team set-up under Mourinho for long spells, with many of his appearances only coming in the FA Cup and Europa League.

But he told Goal of Roma's new coach: "The only person I blame is myself.

"I should be performing at a level where it is difficult to not put me in the team or not play me.

"I don't blame anyone but myself. Working with Mourinho was a great experience and one I learned a lot from."
