As much as I love how Alli has pushed on under the Sheriff's coaching, as a player he's got a lot less responsibility than lampard or gerrard had when they were coming up. Alli's got licence to push up and make those runs past whoever is notionally our striker, and his defensive duties are taken up by dembele/wanyama/dier think he'll grow into a true box to box midfielder but right now his talent lies in finding space in the final third, linking attacking play, making late runs into the box and scoring goals.
