Eric Dier

[Pathfinder]

Dier is an absolute piece of crap as a player and person.

Him being captain would be a disgrace to this club.

Tell that to Romero....

Cristian Romero praises Eric Dier for helping him settle in at Tottenham

And Romero has been speaking to The Athletic this weekend and revealed that Dier has been key for him in settling into things at the club.

“He was instrumental when I joined. We’ve always got on well on and off the field. The fact he speaks Spanish really helps with our on-pitch understanding as well. He was instrumental also in bringing me into the group,” Romero told The Athletic.

“From the day I arrived, he was really good at introducing me to everyone and making me feel at home as well so I was grateful for that. But first and foremost, what a great season he’s having — he brings a lot to the team, loads as a player.”

The next 3 years are probably when he will be at his peak. Club captain if Hugo moves on I think.

I think people underestimate the influence Dier has on the whole club...

Whatever your personal opinion on him as a player, you can't rule out the fact that he seems to be a galvanising force behind the scenes too...

The fact he's multi lingual helps, but also his attitude and experience goes far beyond what he can do on the pitch.

He's a manager's favourite, and has been with several of them... That's no coincidence.

Future Captain, maybe a Manager, or even club ambassador when he hangs up his boots...

I love Eric Dier.... and, (so I've heard)
Eric Dier loves me!

One of our best ever buys!

If Spurs do get 4th Southgate cannot leave Dier out, playing that long history of thuggery minging Mings in an England shirt instead is a dishonour to the national team.

Only thing with Dier is the way he blocks shots with his arms behind his back then he turns away so the ball doesn't hit him in the face. He needs to take it for the team and also have his arms at his sides!

I’m so glad he’s back to his best. Everyone keeps shouting for a left footed centre back, we don’t need one. Romero and dier are a unit!

tbf, the poor bugger is probably still getting PTSD from that newcastle pen.

No he doesn’t. Getting whacked in the face and getting dazed or a head injury is no good to anyone, and he keeps his arms behind his back because if he’s then hit on the arm by the ball it’s unlikely to be handball. If his arms are by his sides they could naturally move away from the body or make the body appear bigger which makes it more likely a penalty would be given if he’s hit by the ball.

Eric Dierrhea. People saying he should be captain when hugo’s done… ridiculous. He plays a system that masks his weaknesses but when has he ever come out on top when left 1v1. Upgrade this summer. Not even HG good riddance

He was no better and certainly no worse than anyone else today.
Our midfield seemed knackered for some reason and they lost us the game, we couldnt hold onto the ball for more than 3 passes.

 

[daveyboy88]

completely done for the goal. need better next to romero for next season. decent backup option but hes a weak link if hes in a starting 11 for a serious side.

We wont win much with the likes of dier and davies as permanent first team members. Got done like a child today.

 

[sudoku]

I thought he was our least worst player today.

But do you accept Romero's shit defending and tripping over the ball as well as Iceberg falling asleep and letting the goalscorer just run away from him?

Recognizing he made an error on the goal means im a burner account. Ridiculous. What’s the qualifier? Having two eyes and a functional brain?

Maybe it was more to do with the hyperbolic nature of the post.

Hyberbolic because i made a crap joke using the phonetics of his name? The rest is my well reasoned assessment from watching him make costly errors for several years. He makes less under conte and this system masks some of his flaws but i cant see us in a title race next year if he is starting. To you thats exaggeration?
