Comparison of Tottenham’s record with and without Dele Alli under Mourinho

Fast reads

After a brilliant start to his career at Tottenham, Dele Alli has struggled for consistent form over the past few months.

The midfielder emerged as one of the Premier League’s top players during Mauricio Pochettino’s reign but fell out of favor under Jose Mourinho.

We looked at Spurs’ record under Mourinho when Alli started and compared it to her record when it’s on the bench or missing from the day’s squad.

Start with Alli

Played: 26
Won: 11th
Signed: 6
Lost: 9

Goals for: 40
Goals against: 33

Points per game: 1.5
Win rate: 42.3%
Loss rate: 34.6%
Goals per game: 1.53
Goals against per game: 1.26

Without Alli starting

Played: 21
Won: 12
Signed: 6
Lost: 3

Goals for: 48
Goals against: 26

Points per game: 2
Win rate: 57.1%
Loss rate: 14.3%
Goals per game: 2.28
Goals against per game: 1.23

These statistics don’t take into account the quality of the opponent, the standard of Spurs’ lineup, or a selection of other factors, but their win rate is significantly higher if Alli doesn’t start.

Mourinho’s team averages more points per game and more goals per game when the England international is not in the starting line-up.
