Midfielder needs to be axed: Three things we learned in Tottenham’s draw against Swansea
Dier deserves to be dropped
While it was a disappointing performance all round from Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino ought to be most displeased with the showing from England midfielder Eric Dier.
The 23-year-old enforcer offered very little to his side against Swansea, with his defensive duties offset by the Swans’ lack of attacking potency.
While he saw much of the ball, he failed to create a single chance throughout the match, adding to the offensive woes suffered by his team mates.
With the likes of Mousa Dembele, who would be a much more well rounded player in the defensive midfield role, sitting on the bench, it is about time that Dier is axed, with important matches against Reading in the League Cup and West Ham in the League coming up.
