Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to the performance of Eric Dier during their Europa Conference League game against Vitesse.

It was the first game of the Antonio Conte era following his appointment just a few days previously, and he grabbed three valuable points to start his tenure as Spurs had made a nervous start to the competition, having only won one of their games heading into the match and losing the reverse fixture against the Dutch side last time out.

How many points did Tottenham gain in the following seasons? First up: 2020/21

They would go on to win the game, however, it wasn’t plain sailing for every single member of the Tottenham side, as Dier found out. He played a part in both of the visitors’ goals in the first half, allowing his man to score from a corner for the opener and getting nutmegged for the second.

For those goals, as well as his overall play, his performance was shredded online by the Tottenham Hotspur fans that were watching the game:

“Eric Dier is a shocking defender”

“Get Eric Dier out of my club”
“Eric Dier getting nutmegged…”
“Eric Dier will be binned by the end of season.”
“Eric dier at it again”
“Eric Dier still dropping clangers”

Is Eric Dier good enough for Spurs?

Yes

Yes

No

No

It’s not exactly the best way to start life under your new manager, let’s just hope his first impression won’t leave too much of an impact in Conte’s mind as he decides who he wants in his team going forward.
