Ex-Spurs Player Eric Dier

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



I can’t take another year of this. Just pay him off


and that is by no means all of them either, Dier the man is probably a really good guy, but Dier the Centre Back is a disgrace, and i mean that as harsly as possible.
overall Perhaps in my top 3 least rated Spurs CBs that i've watched , replace him and the goalkeeper last season and we finish at least 6th more likely 5th quite comfortably

Was not good watching him decline last season.

Was a good CB in the Top 4 run last season but his brain and body just can't do prem football anymore.

Turns too slowly, decisions are too stressful for him at Prem speed.

Could still do it in Italy maybe.
 
Worst one for me was the useless cunt backing off against Rashford
For me this is the issue more than his mistakes. He makes mistakes but so do all of our defenders. The biggest problem with Dier is his reluctance to try and win the ball, it’s constantly backing off the player and watching. The Rashford goal was a great finish and he is fast, and I certainly didn’t expect Dier to beat him in a foot race, but he seemed content to run along with him without making his life harder. Didn’t get close enough, didn’t try and make the angle worse, didn’t make a challenge.
 
The worst part of Dier for me personally is how often he tries hollywood touches that fail and leave us in extreme danger. It’s just not what a top CB should be doing.
 
The worst thing is, these are only the incidents that turned into goals. He makes counttless more mistakes including the ones that unpunished as well.

Was about to say that we seem to have a crazy high amount of mistakes that get punished by a goal. It seems every single time someone screws up anywhere in our half its a goal. You can almost see it coming. Other teams seem to make mistakes and get away with it. Maybe it's just my biased eyes.

There were some games when that must have happened. From my memory, the one vs Newcastle, those fuckers punished every single mistake by us.
