casual, lumbering, thinks he's better than he is.

Instead of flapping when Lloris falls, take three steps back and you head it over you moron

Genuinely thought he’d turned a corner after his error-strewn spell, but these last two performances have been him at his absolute worst.

That header he had late on that went just wide - he was offside - look at his demeanour when the ball goes out wide before the cross comes in, he is walking back with his head down instead of busting a gut to get onside - shameful.

Was solid up until that England Squad call-up. Seems being in close proximity to Maguire, re-activated Dier's "Mistake Time" gene big time.

Back to the Dier we all know and love. Form is temporary and class is permanent.

Second class.

I can't believe people try to sell you on the idea that he is a good passer.

He can ping a long ball when he has space but hes so slow, takes too many touches and is shit under pressure.

As long as he's a starter we are going nowhere. He panics constantly. If he spent as much time concentrating on the game in front of him rather than berating the ref he might be a better defender.

Bang average. Think we need to be a bit fair to Conte in that he hasnt got the tools he needs yet. The end to last season papered over the cracks that still exist in this team.

Eric Dier is the least of our problems. A few bad games after 30 good ones under Conte, he will be fine.

He will be, but I'm not sure he's disciplined and mentally strong enough to be the number one CCB.

He’s one of the problems in the first team. To me there is a difference between appearing to look good or not being involved to often in a team doing well than actually still looking good when the teams not at its best. Kane, Bentancur, Romero, Son you can see the quality still there in the game even if it doesn’t always come off for them.

We have to many players who are happy to ride on the coat tails and get carried along and still take the plaudits
