I think his days with us our done, it’s a shame as we are crying out for a proper DM at the minute and I thought he could be the solution, time to give skipp a chance or even Foyth at the DM position
Never been a DM, dress on the ball, runs in trickle
I’m guessing dross and treacle?
Fine if you read it in a South African accent
If that's the case, then you have to seriously question whether Mourinho is the man for us.

Played 11 lost twice over 90 mins with Eric.
Whose fault was the 7-2? Eric didn't play.
He had a bad game last night but who had a good game?
We're a side with a lot of problems at present, he's just one of them.5 clean sheets this season. Eric played in 4 of them.Eric Dier | Football Stats | Tottenham Hotspur | Age 30 | Soccer Base

How many games do we give him?
I think I'm right in thinking he's played in all Mourinho's games? That makes four on the bounce - he should be approaching match fitness.
It shouldn't take more than this, and yet yesterday he just lumbered around without an apparent care in the world.
I've got this feeling that he'll play against Wolves and turn in another woeful performance. Skipp may be an answer but I don't think he'll get a chance before Middlesborough.

you are absolutely missing the point.
Did you see his actions on the field? He had a chance to close down... or even try to close down Bayern attacker in 2nd and 3rd goal situations. But he was standing there just like would be turned off.
One on one midgets like Thiago and Couthinho could actually physically hold the ball against him (not with smarts, with physical power). How many times he had could have passed the ball with average pressure (I am not saying without any! with average) and he absolutely scuffed it?
And generally speaking, have you seen how our game generally plays out when he starts (Burnley one being outlier, fortunately our attack destroyed their motivation quickly)? We play long ball, cause teams like Bournemouth are outplaying us in midfield.
This "But he has not played" thing is getting moot when he has played 6 games in starting XI from start of November, but he has not improved even marginally.
P.S and to still react to your stat point (which I decided to check over), I can list games where Dier started and lasted most of the game on field this season with results (our score first) -
Red Star (A) 4:0
Bayern Munich (A) 1:3
Brighton (A) 0:3
Sheffield (H) 1:1
West Ham (A) 3:2
Bournemouth (H) 3:2
Burnley (H) 5:0
Colchester (A) 0:0 (lost)
I see 3 clean sheets. Against League Two side (that we eventually lost on penalties!), against Red Star (who we also thumped 5:0 without him starting) and against Burnley. Yea, this list totally proves that without him we play so much worse.
Absolutely no idea, why would you point out game like Red Star at home, when he came on for 20 mintues when game was long ago done and dusted.
Didn't play at United...
Did anyone?...
And who is the club we should benchmark our results by?
Is it
a) Burnley (where he was "fantastic" as you described)
or
b) Bayern (where he did absolutely nothing right, just strolled along, failed on easy passes, let everyone run past him etc)
?
I would say that our aim should be latter.
(also conveniently leaving out Bournemouth game, where he was not able to control CM against such side as well...)
P.S Dier pass % even in this "Fantastic" Burnley game was 79% (!) that means 21 passes from 100 go off mark. And thats his best perforamance in EPL this season. Against Brighton it was 74% and Wet Spam 75%.

Or maybe we're not in a transfer window, so the so called miser can't put a bid in? Just a thought....
Of course Mourinho isn't the man for us. He's a short term fix.
How long do. We give you?
You've been posting negative shite on a daily basis for well over a year now.....
Probably needs a poll.... Will Mike ever post anything positive?
