I think Roys loyalty to Sterling is just as misguided.

Dier is naturally a defensive player, Wilshere is an attacking player and shouldn't be playing that deep. Going forwards Wilshere was the only ones trying to take risks, constantly running & passing the ball forwards, trying to find runners and the strikers but the movement up top was horrific yesterday.

We don't see that in this country though. Our fans, media and pundits would rather criticize a player for having a few unsuccessful passes/dribbles trying to create something and praise a player who is happy to sit there passing the ball back to his defenders and from side to side creating bugger all.
