FRANK Lampard has revealed he must deliver some “tough love” to get Dele Alli back to his brilliant best.
The Everton boss admits the player he signed back in January wasn’t the same one who tore up the Premier League in his first three seasons with Spurs, stating “Four years ago, the way he was playing, we wouldn’t have seen him (coming to Goodison).”
And in assessing how he will help the England star to return to his levels of 2016-17 - where he scored an astonishing 23 goals for Tottenham from an attacking midfield position - Lampard explained it will take a mixture of some harsh words, and serious support on the mental side of football.
