Dele Alli is one of a number of Tottenham players who are struggling to hit top form, and some fans are debating if his poor performances are due to him being played out of position.

The England international burst onto the scene and won many plaudits for his attacking threat and potency in front of goal - but that aspect of his game has dropped off in recent months.

In 2019 he has just one goal and five assists in 22 games, only playing four games so far this campaign, and has often been plagued by injury.

When he has featured he has often looked out of sorts, with an average WhoScored rating of 6.3 this term, and some supporters have pointed the blame at Mauricio Pochettino for playing him too deep.

Some argue he is most effective playing just behind Kane where he can take-up goalscoring positions, suggesting he has been hindered by the presence of Christian Eriksen, but others think that he has declined due to a lack of confidence and a bad habit of holding onto the ball for too long.

The lacklustre displays of the 6 foot 1 star will likely be an area of concern for Pochettino, and he could look to do what fans want by allowing him to play higher up the pitch.
