Tottenham Hotspur failed to win against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
Jamie Redknapp suggested on Sky Sports 1 on Saturday afternoon (October 22, 2016) that Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino should not have taken off Dele Alli against Bournemouth.
The former Tottenham midfielder was not impressed with the substitution of Alli against Bournemouth away from home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The England international midfielder was replaced by Moussa Sissoko in the 72nd minute, as Spurs played out a goalless draw with the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium.
Redknapp was following the match for Sky Sports 1, and the former Liverpool midfielder suggested that Alli should have been kept on.
“I couldn’t believe he took off Dele Alli today, unless there is some kind of injury,” said Redknapp on Sky Sports 1 on Saturday afternoon (October 22, 2016) after the match.
“I mean, he is a goalscorer, he plays that number 10 role. I know he is having a lot of games at the moment, but he is the one player that you think who could have unlocked the door today.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hosts Bournemouth had just 38% of the possession, took eight shots of which just one was on target, and earned seven corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Tottenham had 62% of the possession, took 16 shots of which four were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.
Spurs are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 19 points from nine matches, just a point behind leaders Manchester City.
