Nineteen-year-old midfielder Alli produced another impressive individual display, providing yet more evidence he really is a major rising star.
Alli looks a certainty for England’s squad and his midfield adaptability and rapid development, as well as an eye for goal that has already brought him five in the league this season, will make him a prize asset for club and country.
But whilst Alli starts, Galloway is on the bench for the moment. There were ironic cheers from the Gwladys Street when Tim Howard collected a routine cross for the second home match in succession. Some Toffees fans voiced their frustrations towards Howard from the stands and his position in the team remains looking insecure.
Then asked if he could see Alli continuing to perform at such a level in the team every week, Pochettino said: “Yes – if he shows that in every training session he deserves to play, why not?”
“It was a terrific game of football, but with a little bit more focus in that final pass we could’ve taken advantage of a couple of opportunities we had”. “We did not after this game because we are disappointed”.
“I definitely think we deserved more”. Maybe tomorrow we can analyse the game and feel proud, and be happy for the point, but now our feeling is disappointment that we have dropped two points.
“We are very quiet. We have to keep going and working hard”.
Defender Toby Alderweireld agreed Tottenham merited maximum points, adding: “I think first half was one of the best this season, we were very unlucky and could’ve scored one or two goals”. Our performance was really good.
“Spurs had a lot of the ball in the first half”.
In the 92nd minute, Lukaku had a chance to win the match as he burst past Jan Vertonghen and powered into the box, but blazed over seconds before the full time whistle.
