Stats prove Tottenham Hotspur ARE better with Dele Alli and suggest star should start Champions League Final against Liverpool
Dele Alli has, by his own metroric standards, had a rather quiet season.After scoring seven goals and eight assists in all competitions, it is unlikely the Tottenham Hotspur midfield will look back on his campaign with much delight.GETTY3

Ray Parlour believes Dele Alli should not start ahead of Lucas Moura in Madrid

However, the 23-year-old has helped Spurs reach the Champions League Final and secured a Top Four finish in the Premier League.But given his injury struggles this season and his lack of game time, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has suggested semi-final ht-trick hero Lucas Moura deserves to start in Madrid ahead of Dele.He (Pochettino) cant leave Moura out [of the Champions League final] after he scored a hat-trick,Parlour said on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.I would feel a little bit hard done by, Ive just scored a hat-trick away from home to get Tottenham through to the final and you leave him out.GETTY3

Moura and Alli could be fighting for one place in the starting XI

It would be a disgrace if they leave him out because to score a hat-trick in a game as important as it was at Ajax, you cant leave him out. You have to leave Dele [Alli] out.Given the England international’s obvious talent, many managers would be loathe to leave out such an influential player for such a huge game.Take, for instance, Gareth Southgate’s reluctance to leave the attacking midfielder on the bench at the World Cup.Despite suffering a quadriceps injury in the first half of the first group game, Dele played a huge part in the Three Lions’ journey to the semi-final in Russia.GETTY3

Alli picked up a worrying injury during England’s World Cup opener, but played on throughout the rest of the tournament

So would Pochettino be making a mistake by leaving the former MK Dons star out of the starting XI for the Champions League Final?Given Moura’s spectacular form this season and the fact Pochettino played with three at the back at Anfield, it is not beyond the realms of possibility to suggest Dele could start from the bench.Here at talkSPORT.com, Parlour’s comments got us thinking about just how important the midfielder is to Spurs according to statistics.As you can see below, we calculated Tottenham’s win percentage with Dele in the side and without him.

This is Tottenham Hotspur's biggest game for quite some time, and there is no way that they will be leaving the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on June 1 without a fight. You can get attractive odds for Spurs to win the Champions League Final at most of the top online betting sites, but are they worth betting on? I believe they are.
