You were robbed of a clean sheet on Sunday Eric.

IMO it's totally against the spirit of the game apart from anything else. We'll have players constantly trying to target opponents hands in the penalty area instead of trying to create chances or score goals. Ridiculous rule. The sooner the authorities get their heads out of their arses and scrap it, the better,

this is here to stay until the end of the season...poss they'll get rid next season; incidentally, they just softened handball rule in light of Dier penalty, but it doesn't go as far as that type of handball

He is not in midfield now and he just has to be tidier.
There was a var check on him earlier against newcastle and also I think in an earlier game this season.
Maybe he is unlucky, Maybe there is a pattern.

It is a stupid rule inconsistently applied, but if mourinho gets the LCB he wants this window, then Dier will find himself on the bench - a prediction people make every year, but this year with this large squad, there is a fair chance it happens.

He was jumping for a ball and was pushed. It would be more unnatural if his arms were anywhere else. He has done nothing wrong at all in this situation
