Ex-Spurs Player Eric Dier

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Dier is a hider. Some people only see the obvious mistakes that happen when players are active (Sanchez slipping for example, or Romero making a dumb challenge). But being passive to a fault is often an even bigger mistake.

It’s like thinking a goalkeeper that stays on his line for 10 breakaways never makes a mistake compared to a sweeper keeper who saves 9 breakaways from through balls before they even happen and fucks up once for a goal. Meanwhile, the keeper on his line gives up 7 goals in that same scenario but people blame the defense instead of the passive goalkeeper.

The amount of times dier backed off 20 yards and we conceded last year was so glaringly obvious that I can’t take the opinion seriously of anyone that still rates him.
People here genuinely believe Dier had a good game if we kept a clean sheet.
Like there is a direct and unconditional link.
Imagine thinking it had nothing to do with the rest of the team, including the keeper, or the other team just being shit in front of goal. Or maybe a Brighton scenario when the ref kept ruling their goals out.

That is twatter in a nutshell, it always ahs been, a way for people to whatever they want that they wouldnt say out loud normally, and its getting things off your chest when your angry to a friend for examples etc,, you will be explicit in the moment of anger, irritation and displeasure you says things in an unadulterated harsh manner even though thats not your actual intention.

Talksport is forum exploited by the media company to do the same thing in essence (without the swearing) pitting silly highly volatile callers against each other, other having deliberate dumbasses e.g. like Gabby Abhanlahor chatting complete waiting for callers to backlash on his most recent obtuse comment.... Twatter doesnt have the middleman aka the talksport host/so called experts, but provides the forum and they advocate it, no they bank on it figuratively and literally.

Plus when you in the public limelight getting paid millions and millions its part and parcel of it, sadly that is life, each profession has its own draw backs.

Fans just need to do better in general, no excuse to act like a twat especially towards one of your own purely because you can't get your own way.

We've seen all this toxic shit with Winks.... Now it's Dier turn..... And anyone that doesn't pile in is strawmanned as thinking he's better than Beckenbauer and fancies him.

Puerile, hateful little children.....
