'Is this a joke?' Ali makes TV commentary debut

'He doesn't watch football and comes out to commentate...'

Dele Alli has disappointed soccer fans yet again. He's completely destroyed any hopes we had for him. It"s almost like he"s trying to figure out how to ruin his career.

This time, he was criticized by fans for going on air as a soccer commentator. He was criticized by fans for his gibberish and poor broadcasting. It wasn't just that he didn't know what to say. He was fundamentally unprepared for the broadcast. Fans were disappointed with Ali's performance, as if he hadn't watched soccer at all this season.

Alli, who was once touted as the "future of English soccer" and the centerpiece of Tottenham Hotspur's attacking squad alongside Son Heung-min, was once again a broken man in public. This time, he gave the worst on-air commentary ever.

"Viewers were left convinced that Alli hadn't watched soccer at all after watching Monday Night Football," the Daily Star reported on Jan. 16 (KST). Ali appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports' popular program 'Monday Night Football (MNF)' after the 33rd round match of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season between Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge in London, England.

The Everton player is currently injured and unable to play. Given his injury, his public profile, and his EPL career, it makes sense for him to be on the show.

Of course, it's not a good sign for his former club Tottenham. Alli left Tottenham for Everton as a free agent in January 2022, failing to meet the £10 million release clause in the deal that required him to make 20 appearances. Alli has appeared in 13 of those games so far, and this broadcast will leave him with seven games to fulfill. It's a missed opportunity for Tottenham to earn £10 million.

In any case, Alli has ventured into new territory with his commentary. But in the end, it was better that he didn't. The broadcast, which began after Everton's devastating 0-6 defeat to Chelsea, shocked viewers with his gibberish.

He didn't seem to have done any basic preparation for the show, failing to answer questions from his co-hosts Jamie Carragher and Ollie Watkins, leaving fans convinced that he hadn't watched any soccer this season. Many fans took to social media to criticize Ali, saying, "Ali clearly hasn't watched a single game of soccer all season. It was very bad," they wrote on social media.
