Five years, over 200 appearances, so many incredible highs and a few crushing lows, Eric Dier has been a constant in this team since arriving at the same time as Mauricio Pochettino ahead of the 2014/15 season. He cares, is hurt by recent results and determined to help put matters right.

Let's hope that for once, he can turn the fighting talk into something on the pitch. It would make a pleasant change.

I’ve decided to no longer follow the team on the pitch. I now support the players giving interviews as they sound much better.

It's a good interview. It shows commitment and determination. It is also self-critical and mature in its assessment of the situation and of dealing with achievements and setbacks in a balanced way. He's always given that impression of level-headedness.

How he has dealt with so much time not playing because of a couple of illnesses, I do not know. It must be frustrating for sportsmen for whom activity and teamwork are so much of part of their purpose, to be handicapped in returning to fitness and then getting much needed game time. For too long he's looked like a straggly-bearded convict with a severe haircut on a prison ship, and looking marginal to first team activity. If that can be changed and he has better prospects of playing for the first team, then it'd be a welcome development.

I have been there at every home game giving my all - shame it can't be said for every player in the team!

Yeah, basically what most people have said - we want to see the talking on the pitch.
