Good as gold, one of your own, be a laugh on a night out etcetc but when we're 15 nil down against Luton at home because you've got one centre half trying to break limbs and the other with his hands behind his back doing an impromptu river dance every time the ball is in the box then all that won't matter. I'm sure we've all had jobs where there's always one that gets away with all sorts and every one else has to pick up the slack. It's low for team morale

you popping valiums on nights out?
Because there was no competition, he just got worse and worse.
Makes him a bright bloke but not a bright footballer.
Think opposite or Gazza.
monkeys can learn sign language
Believe it or not the club are actually well aware what they put out on Twitter, they do read Tweets and so do the players so it wouldn't come as a complete surprise that they put this kind of content out to show Dier in a good light...like he's actually human and a good human at that and despite what you think of him as a footballer they probably believe that the personal abuse is a bit shitty and OTT.
I still find the reaction weird, some right dangers out there.

been a strong window so far with a new keeper, maddison and lucas replacement. if dier signs a new contract its going to be an absolute buzz kill, would be a stupid thing to do. dump dier off and sign two new CB and the club will be going into the new season with everyone buzzing, will be flying from the off!
injured or not is irrelevant, hes not fucking good enough. if you think hes good enough then youre completely unaware of the standards required.
Is he good enough is a completely different question to is he a nice person.
Nice to have both but if I had to pick one I'd prefer he played a good match and then jumped the barriers to punch a fan in the face.

Injuries do not explain the god awful errors of judgement, hospital passes and the bizarre non tackling,backing off technique when a player is running at him which has been going on for at least 3 seasons. There are very few fans of other clubs who rate dier.If we are do anything under postecoglou dier must be upgraded on ASAP.
last season, we recorded the best premier league start in the club's history. dier played every game in that run
youre either on a wind up or you dont actually watch games! or youre just incredibly thick and naive
ok, that's twice... what's the point?
He was shit years before the injury. He's not a CB at all and he's a very average midfielder at his very best, which is once or twice a season.
So you're giving Dier credit for that, are you also giving credit to Conte? Were we a whistle away from 3rd in the league and strong favourites for top 4 but everyone is happy to call Conte every name under the sun.
The hatred for Dier is completely misguided. He is a £5m utility player who has had a key role in the squad because all the other players signed for his position have been worse than him.
The ire should be directed at our coaches and executives who thought that Davinson, Rodon and Lenglet would be better than him.
For Dier to leave or even come out of the starting XI, we need to make a signing at CB which we don’t seem to be close to doing. That should be the focus of fan rage. We had a worse defence than Everton last season yet we haven’t signed a defender ready for preseason.

No, he's not. He's been a starter for years and that's simply unacceptable. He started for a couple of seasons in CM and made relentless mistakes. He was then moved back to CB and carried on the relentless mistakes.
On top of that, he's wound up in the "leadership team" which is downright embarrassing.
He's barely premier league level, let alone the level of a club at least masquerading as a top 4/top 6 level.
And at the moment, somehow, he's still probably just about the best option we have to partner Romero. He isn't good enough to be a bench warmer as he can't be relied on when called on. That's how bad our defence is.
Well, yeah. He was signed as a utility player for a cheap fee. That he became part of the spine is damning not for him, but for all the shit midfielders and defenders that couldn’t do better.
