Bergkamp was pretty anonymous in his first season here if memory serves.
With regard to the argument about attacking options and feeding the strikers I'm guessing one of the reasons for the meteoric rise of Alli is his willingness make runs to support the striker, he brings a goal threat and is a genuine link between the striker and the midfield. It doesn't always work out for him, but I wonder if in Poch's mind he's leapfrogged the likes of Eriksen and Lamela as the main creative force.
He didn't play against the poo and Jansen struggled for service. Undoubtedly the creative side of our team is still in a work in progress, I'm confident there's more to come.
