Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter have been sharing their criticism for Lilywhites defender Eric Dier and his performance during the first half of their Carabao Cup semi-final showdown against Championship side Brentford.
After Jose Mourinho’s side beat Stoke City 3-1 in the quarter-finals, the north London club welcomed Brentford to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see who would make it to the final.
During the first half of the match, lots of Spurs fans were not happy with what they saw from Dier, with many flocking to Twitter to share their thoughts and opinions.
So, what did these Spurs fans make of Dier’s performance against Brentford?
“Sanchez and dier at the back together always make me feel uneasy”
“Dier can’t pass properly”
“Dier’s passing is the stuff of nightmares”
“When Eric Dier comes past the halfway line or tries to make a 15+ yard pass… I wanna punch myself in the face. #THFC”
“Can’t Eric Dier pass on the floor ?”
“Someone needs to remind Dier that he is not a good footballer.”
Looking at these tweets from this group of Spurs fans, it’s clear to see that they were not impressed by what they saw from Dier in the first half.
Is Eric Dier good enough to play in defence at Spurs?
Yes
No
With the Englishman playing in defence for Spurs, he will have to make sure he is at the top of his game in the second half or else the north London club could find themselves knocked out of the competition.
