Jose Mourinho criticizes Alli for creating problems for his own team

manager

Jose Mourinho

has slammed

Dele Alli

for creating problems for his own team in Spurs’ 3-1 victory over

Stoke

in

Carabao Cup

.

Dele Alli, who has not been a regular this season, was handed a start against Stoke and looked sharp in attack. However, he lost possession attempting a flick and Stoke countered to equalize.

"For me a player who plays in that position is a player that has to link and create and not create problems for his own team,”

Mourinho said in his post-match press conference.

“They got us on the counterattack, so yes I was angry.

“First half we were solid. They didn't touch the ball, have a shot, have a corner. Instead of killing the game we kill ourselves. After that was a moment we needed stability and attitude.”

Mourinho is looking to win this trophy for the fifth time with three different clubs, and he says his side will fight for the title.

“Two very difficult matches,” he said. “The teams who are there will be difficult. We are in the semi-finals and we will be there to fight.”
