Eric Dier has spent the last 4 years being played out of position and even in a game where all about him were losing their heads, his bizarrely shave one remained resolutely attached.
In the post match mudslinging, it helps to focus on the facts, opposed to tar everyone with the same brush.

Interceptions: Like the man below says, if Dier were new through the door, then he would be winning plaudits.
Passing accuracy: The pass master needs to work on his long balls, as it appears his proclivity to pass sideways causes a malfunction when he attempts to move the ball up the park.
Agree on Lo Celso. A decent player, but not good enough for us to be competitive or get into the top 4. Lamela runs around a lot with very little end product. We seriously need a firesale to get rid of the driftwood. A rebuild on the rebuild is necessary but unlikely with Gollum holding the purse strings.
We should sell Dele back to MK Dons for the 5 mil he’s worth. The lad has totally lost the plot, all he does is waddle around in circles and tackle himself these days. About as cutting as a blunt spoon.
Well it’s either those 2 or bring back the Belgian pair now completely past their sell by date. We all remember how they performed under Poch in his final season – it was relegation form. I think Dier has promise with a bit more time in position, Sanchez is over rated.
That’s exactly right James, Levy thought he could appease the fans for his obvious lack of investment by bringing in a supposed miracle worker, and Jose would waive his magic wand and we’d win a trophy just like that. Levy is a fool and his intelligence matches his lack of stature and hair growth. He is the Mr Bean of the footballing world.
Kane and Son are the only forward players we have that have any real talent, the rest are Levy bargain basement buys that he saved pennies on by avoiding real talent, like Bruno Fernandez. He’s brought in so many bang average players that we’ve become a bang average team.
Everyone seems to go on about Lo Celso, but from what I’ve seen he’s just another Lamela – works hard and runs about a lot but with no real end result. How many assists and goals has he managed? We still haven’t replaced Walker or Eriksen with like for like, just cheap replacements. No ambition, nice stadium shame about the crap that plays in it.
The rot began when Levy went 2 windows without spending a penny on the squad. He is so shortsighted that he actually believed that Poch was a miracle worker and would still get us in the CL places. Of course we all know now that Levy is utterly incompetent and should not be allowed nowhere near a real football club. I actually hope him and ENIC miss out on European football entirely this year and I also hope his salary is drastically cut to reflect his complete incompetence in everything he touches.
I said many years ago that we would never win anything under Levy and ENIC, how right I was. You don’t hear anyone supporting the little cretin these days do you? Back in the day the web was full of fools prepared to defend Levy and ENIC on the basis that we hadn’t done a Leeds or some such nonsense. Funny that, how are Leeds doing now you numpties?
Frankly, Kane and Son deserve better than another season with no hope of the sort of investment we need to get this team to be anywhere near competitive. If they asked to leave I’d thank them for their service and hope they go somewhere where they will get trophies. I hate saying this as I want them to stay and for us to actually win something, but I’m a realist as well and know that players want to win and not stagnate.
100% also another person to blame and sack to take the heat off himself and the old tight wad Joe…
Harry Kane will put in a transfer request, next season will be another rebuilding year, so why hang around.
Signing Mourinho was another cheap skate move. Not attacking Mourinho but the idea was to try to get success without investing in the team.
Football is a team game, sure there can be several that will stink the place out from time to time. Generally though when you’re looking at half the team being poor, this is what’s known as a poor TEAM performance.
The person responsible for making a team play well is the manager/coach. He makes the selections, trains them, prepares them for the matches. Ok, this squad needs new players and there are obvious players like Aurier who perform badly 7 out 10 times of but there is no way that all these players have suddenly gotten this bad.
The team lost it’s way slowly as it was neglected by Levy, contract issues not sorted, new signings not made (not a single one for a whole year!?). Therefore it makes no difference who the manager is as the problems come from the top.
Poch was sacked because Levy doesn’t understand football, Jose was hired because Levy doesn’t understand football. This will end in tears, Levy in his infinite wisdom thought that the squad was good enough, that Poch could be replaced with a completely different type of manager and that it would all turn around.
All those who wanted Poch out and were trumpeting Jose’s arrival as some kind of signal of intent by Levy to win big, where are you now? Jose said the squad was ‘fantastic’ when he came in, so fantastic that they get outclassed by Sheffield Utd?
The whole thing is such an embarrassment it’s untrue. All thanks to that little bald c**nt…
ENIC OUT.
😁😄😂👍
We’d have more chance of winning if we played actual deck chairs as opposed to this bunch of clowns.
I will let Bruce Grove sum up both our CBs last night
Eric Dier 4
Was found wanting too often by a mediocre Sheffield forward line, was to blame for at least one goal.
Davinson Sanchez 4
Left standing for the third goal, the jury is still very much out on whether he should be a starter.
Spurs defending the second Sheffield Utd goal was absolute DIER,standing ball watching while the scorer runs in behind.
Alderweireld back in, Dele back, Tanguy to start, rearrange the deck chairs for a change.
