Lloris was a worthy MOTM for me, but Dier was substandard again

West Ham only managed to get 4 shots on the Tottenham goal, all of which were on target, but only one beat Hugo.

[1] Came from Vlasic, who managed to keep Davinson Sanchez out of his way and get away a finer header which our captain brilliantly denied.

The second attempt [2] was classic Dier, with the defender facing the wrong way, looking into his goal, and not at his attacker again. So his jump was mistimed, and the resulting header was a deceptively accurate ball that Lloris did very well to get his fingers to.

The third [3] saw Dier involved again, and I have to say some of the hysterical reactions from some fans over Dier hitting only levels of what I would term competency really need to be binned. The ball came in, the player turned, picked his kick and the ball went it. Dier saw it all unfold but was able to do nothing.

Benrahma’s effort [4] was uninspiring stuff, but a good juncture to mention Declan Rice. What a player. More, please…
