"Drop your ego": Gary Neville blasts Tottenham man's international display

Gary Neville has told Eric Dier to "drop" his ego after the Tottenham man gave a penalty for England national team on Sunday. The Three Lions have celebrated a 2 - 1 win over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League. During the clash they had to face Dier's early mistake, with the player fouling Romelu Lukaku in the penalty area. And Neville has criticised Spurs player for his "clumsy" challenge on the rival player. “I thought it was a penalty,” former Manchester United captain told Sky Sports. “Romelu Lukaku ran him. He [Dier] doesn’t get a touch on the ball. He slides and it’s clumsy from Eric Dier. “Once you go to ground in the box and don’t make contact with the ball. You are in big trouble. It’s not a challenge Eric Dier should be making. “He’s got Lukaku on his right foot running down that channel. He has to just compose himself. “I think once Lukaku drives in there, Eric Dier has just got to back off him and pull away. Compose yourself. Don’t make the challenge and certainly don’t go to ground. Drop your ego and maybe even let him have a shot with his right foot. Pickford can see it. It’s a tight angle. Then he added: “They are on the ropes England. Belgium are getting chance after chance. Lukaku is growing in confidence. It looks like he has the measure of Dier. Backing into him and then just unnerving him.”
