What’s with all the pointing telling other spurs players where to play the ball....
It’s basically telling the opposition what’s going to happen and comes across as condescending to his colleagues

This literally happens in every football match.

Yes, its terrible to have leaders on the pitch.

I've no objection to a player pointing but Dier seems to do it automatically/repeatedly whilst he himself strolls around not closing down quick enough and letting players run past him at will. If I played in the same side as him words would be exchanged.

Yet he is selected match after match by our Manager and regularly selected by the England Manager. I wonder why they keep doing that ?

Hoping he returns to previous performances/lack of options perhaps
Hardly an England regular starter now.

Wasn't really selected by the England manager when it counted the most.

For the same reason I tell my wife to look at me and speak up when she's talking.
One day, even after 7 years, I hope she'll do what I ******* say.

He's not been as his best thus far, but he has had good games. Having to play all the fudging time with no preseason due to other midfielders having fitness issues isn't helping him, but he's doing his best for the team.

The main kicker being that even when he's playing well, the simpletons aren't able to see it.

Yeah, bash Dier, and I'll cut you.

No one doubts his dedication. It's his ability we doubt.
How many games did you get to last season?

Just the tip of the iceberg

Trippier does it - the fucking finger pointer. Imagine him and Dier
