Harry Maguire is a spit of Chesney off Coronation Street... looks equally as gormless

Dier showing Henderson (and some spurs fans) what he can do. Even some spurs fans forget that Dier is actually a very good footballer.

No you have preconceived notions of what you think his plus points are, and then watch the game trying to construct that narrative whatever he does. We all do it to varying extent, but to then try and lecture everyone else on it/bias as if you sat above us I found amusing.

Who he, or anyone else plays for is irrelevant and not being derided.

Ps. That move was very unlucky. Superb play.
Nope.

I see the positives and his strengths (as well as weaknesses) and then form an opinion from there. There's been times when I've thought he's been poor or doesn't fit the role he's being asked to play, such as part of a 2 man midfield when Spurs have a back 3, for reasons X,Y, and Z and said so, but I don't feel the need to make stuff up or engage in confirmation bias. FWIW right there is what's wrong when he pushes up and presses in that area of the pitch. It creates so many holes in transition.

Anyway, this isn't the thread for it. FWIW I actually have a lot of respect for you as a poster and didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Pickford could easily get in team of the tournament. Lloris probably edging it at the moment.

RLC is a good dribbler for sure but I think he's a bit of donkey right now personally.
Has zero vision or creativity it seems

Should really be level here, worked quite a few openings. Belgium sitting off even more, but typical Martinez team no real discipline to their shape and acres of space available, even in and around the penalty areas.

Edit: And then a counter attack strike finally happens.
