Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits that midfielder Dele Alli should use the Liverpool game as a base to rebuild his career at the club.
Alli was a surprise starter for Spurs in their 2-2 draw against Jurgen Klopp's team on the weekend.
The England star was out of favour under Jose Mourinho, and eventually fell out of the team under Nuno Espirito Santo as well.
Asked about Alli, Conte said: "I think Dele played a good game and I think he could have scored. He had chances to score but he played a good game. He was with his head on the pitch from the start to the end. I want to see this type of player.
"I know with the formation we played vs Liverpool, I helped him. Because he's a midfielder and a No.8. A midfield with three players, I think this is his proper role.
"He has to continue to show desire to stay here and to want to continue to deserve, especially, to stay here. The game against Liverpool I think has to be only a starting point. You can play well one game but I need to see continuity of performance. And I'd be the first person to be happy if we do with him this type of improvement."
