By all accounts, Dier is a respected leader in the dressing room. That wouldn't be the case if he were blaming others for his errors constantly. Shouting and pointing on the pitch don't equal shifting blame.

Now this I can go along with - but he was injured last season and everyone was shit. More than earned the benefit of the doubt to see what he's got this season.
But he probably doesn't have many seasons left anyway. If he shows some quality this season, then you could talk me into selling him. Thought, and stated, that both he and Kane should have been sold 2 years ago.
If we had a streaker he would jockey him round the pitch and never ultimately make a tackle
This is one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve read on this forum.
Since 2016, he’s had the most goals above xG in Europe’s top 5 leagues. He was golden boot winner and then scored 12 goals last season despite playing through a serious injury which eventually required surgery.
Your agenda against him is repetitive and boring. I remember he did an interview saying he turned down a Saudi offer as money wasn’t important to him. Clear sign of loyalty. Yet a week later you posted on this thread we should try and sell him to Saudi anyway
He’s had three seasons in his whole career where he scored more than 12 goals and one of those was 14. (17 and 23).
A great goal scorer is someone who is prolific. Like Kane. Son’s goals are often more spectacular. But much, much fewer.
A preseason "friendly" where Barca rolled out what... 9 of their strongest 11?
He’s only 31. Son absolutely has another 20 goal season in him. His pace and finishing is still there.
You’re right but on yesterday’s performance if you had to get keep one of Sanchez or Dier as a backup, it wouldn’t be the Englishman!
Yeah just completely ignore the fact he has 145 goals.
The sixth all time top scorer for spurs
Greaves has double that
Can you post any evidence that his pace is still there? Cause I don't see it.
So 145 goals doesn’t equate to being a prolific goal scorer ?
Well, we’ll soon see.
I have zero issue with Son starting the season. I do have an issue with him starting every game when he fails to do anything. A lot of that was likely down to Conte, who was clearly an utterly unimaginative hierarchical tool.
But Solomon has looked useful and certainly deserving of starts.
I don’t think Ange will tolerate passengers.
He scores loads of goals
Hard to prove that when conte had him stuck out on the left or right wing the last 18 months.
Why does that matter? Do you think wingers don't show their pace?
Wrong. He’s actually scored more than 12 goals EVERY season he’s had for us apart from his first where he barely played and he scored 12 while injured last season.
Incorrect repetitive nonsense as usual.
Your post implies that getting rid of Son will result in fewer South Korean fans which is good for the atmosphere.
So why is that?
Because they don’t look like you, speak funny and don’t behave in the manner that you demand. They don’t sing your songs, get pissed up and talk about ‘that day in 1991 when we ran Chelsea down the High Road’. They behave differently. They’re enthusiastic flag-wavers who don’t boo Davinson Sanchez and will probably enjoy the day regardless of the result. How dare they? Worse, your mate Keith’s son couldn’t get a ticket.
Culturally, Koreans treat sports differently. Not everyone is going to behave in a manner you expect or demand. You don’t control the right way to enjoy a football match. If you owned a passport, I’d suggest that you take in a baseball game in Seoul and enjoy that cultural difference but the idea is clearly wasted on you.
You’re a petty, xenophobic bigot. Too bad that you don’t even see it.
31 is ancient for a winger.
His pace is not still there. He can run behind a defense but he can’t take players on.
The difference between him and Solomon in that area is obvious.
Ok, so the secret is just shouting and pointing at my colleagues, thank you, I wil try that!
