He was miles off yesterday. He mistimed several challenges, should have been yellow carded on three occasions and should have conceded a penalty. Thankfully the referee was a moron.
Pochettino made a massive mistake in not taking him off earlier. The fact that he took him off after half time indicates that he knew he was going to get sent off - so why didn’t he do this earlier when it was clear the wheels had fallen off? He was very, very lucky that Dier wasn’t red carded before the half ended.
Not that it mattered! Can’t believe Sonny’s reaction. Although if he was sent off for violent conduct, the wanker that triggered him by body checking him earlier in the game and punching him in the back should have been sent off too.
Either way, both Dier and Son’s behaviour tells me that there’s shit going on behind the scenes. The stress and fatigue is probably getting to everyone.
