And this is the point . Every game he'll gift the other team a big chance. Either they miss it , Hugo saves it or they score it.Dier was good against City but his poor clearance did give City their main gilt edged chance.
Dier against Wolves handed Traore an easy chance to equalise and luckily for us he missed.
Dier was atrocious against Woolwich.
Dier was poor against Chelsea.
Dier scored a horrendous own goal yesterday.
Has he been better than his disgraceful performances last season? yes....but great??? dear god almighty.
I swear the exact same folk defending him were all over Aurier who never compounded the dopey foul with a bullet header into his own net. Totally schizophrenic.Lumbering oaf gave away the needless free-kick which lead to his sublime finish too.

Most adequate defenders don't.And this is the point . Every game he'll gift the other team a big chance. Either they miss it , Hugo saves it or they score it.
No other top defender does such a thing.
When Johnny Evans is comfortable your better and you lack Craig Dawson's consistency your claim to be a top EPL centerback is paper thin.... That neither of those players team would do a straight swap says it all. I say this as a confirmed fan of Eric Dier the man. Id happy to have him as a pal..Most adequate defenders don't.
He must suck in training or he has a personality like piles because from Jose to Mason to Santo not interested at all....Crazy how many howlers this guy gets to drop and still play, particularly over the last couple of seasons. If I'm Rodon I'm actually fuming at coming to Spurs.
Rodon is another talent mismanaged by our cunt setup - same as Sess and ClarkeCrazy how many howlers this guy gets to drop and still play, particularly over the last couple of seasons. If I'm Rodon I'm actually fuming at coming to Spurs.

Instead we keep flogging he dead donkey Dire
100%There is no question in my mind that while we need upgrades in our squad I don’t believe we are getting 100% out of what we have, the so called ‘’sum of our parts’’. We could sign 5 world class players and still get nowhere near the title, the management/leadership of the club is not elite. Liverpool’s team is better than ours but not light years better, Klopp is the difference.
I feel sorry for Nuno, he isn’t bad but he isn’t our long term, the club Levy/Paratici need to sort out the direction and vision and that’s what concerns me.
Here's my gripe with Dier. Some people have had the audacity to say he's been having a good season. Firstly we've conceded a lot of goals this season (more than a lot of teams).
In each game he's done something wrong :
1) Man City - Gives the ball away really cheaply early on. Luckily Foden misses.
2) Wolves - Its his poor play which gifts Traore that massive chance that Lloris saves.
3) Watford - Ok to be fair nothing wrong here.
4) Crystal Palace - Only played a bit of the 1st half so no time
5) Chelsea - Marking on corner for 1st goal poor. 2nd goal massive deflection off him.
6) Woolwich - Like Sanchez all over the place and all 3 goals so easy for Woolwich
7) Aston Villa - Fails to either cut the ball out or mark Watkins leaving him an easy tap in
8) Newcastle - His own goal
Its not even over analysing. Every game he makes 1 big error , 1 poor decision. Earlier on they were not being exploited. Now they are. HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!
Lots of factors in their first goal thoughTotally agreed, thouh let’s face it Dier is simply not good enough. Hasn’t been for four years isn’t going to change now.
Romero to blame for the first goal where he goes to get Rrichies long ball but passes it straight to Joelinton who swings it out to the right and then on the cross Romero is again beaten to it by Wilson. Absolutely piss poor defending from Romero, not Dier.
the OG Dier gives away the needless free kick for a unnecessary challenge and then the free kick in Romero misses again and Dier just doesn’t react well.
Dier was poor but so was Romero.
