It gets me everytime there's any kind of reference to his age, my head just doesn't want to believe it!

Either Eric or Toby, I think the kid needs a rest.He made Pochettino's choice very easy next week.
Toby is back.
He needs to work on his passing a lot.
LinekerLove the kid but let's "use him by not using him" in true Spurs tradition (look it up kids)
Give the guy a rest.
It's not a punishment, but the season is catching up on him and I'd actually rather see Dier at CB v Woolwich
He's a kid still. That's the type of stuff that comes with age and experience. The more we play him the more he will sharpen upI think mentally he needs to toughen up as if he makes an error he appears to be a bit wobbly for ten or fifteen mins. Today and Vs Southampton when he messed up a clearance seemed to affect him...my imagination maybe?
He's coping it big time and with some justification. However, I think given his age, the environment at Anfield, the weight of expectations, he will be OK.
Crushing him now does no good. He has the skill and build to be a very good player. One off day, does not determine his destiny.
