Dele Alli can hit top form in 2018 but cannot always be expected to produce "unbelievable" moments, according to Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs boss Pochettino feels Alli has turned a corner after a patchy run in late 2017, and has tipped the England star to return to his best.
Tottenham next take on Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday, with striker Harry Kane hoping to overcome a cold to feature in Wales.
Pochettino believes Alli is ready to thrive in the second half of the season, but has moved to temper expectations around the 21-year-old midfielder.
