There's absolutely no way he washed his hands for the correct time.

What Ali has anything to do with Dier?
Surprised if he had enough time to use bog roll
That's probably why our forwards were so disinclined to challenge him for the ball!
You didn't account for Mourinho doing the wiping...
Best friends and house mates, if Dele is fannying about it could easily be a distraction for him.
Thought he was excellent tonight. Was a proper leader out there.
Yeah, there was definitely more substance to his performance.
Lowkey this might be why Mourinho went along with Dier.
It was a performance that reeked of shit, until he came back from the toilet.
He definitely showed a sense of urgency out there at times. Not afraid of doing the dirty work or mopping up.
Just checked this guy because I could not remember him at all. What a fall for his career. So he stopped playing 7 years ago, only 28 years old. Surely a guy who had 140 caps for Bayern could at least play in the 2nd or 3rd division or was he THAT bad?
I've barely watched Spurs under Jose, but from the little I've seen I've got the impression that Dier's enjoying the tutelage of Mourinho. Usually when a new manager arrives, you can expect a resurgence from certain players. Given the profile of the Portuguese manager, I suspected he'd appreciate the intrinsic tenacity from the likes of Alli, Lamela, Son and Dier. Thought he did a good job of recognizing the threat of Martial, and acting accordingly. Similarly against Chelsea, I think he did a decent job of marshalling the back line which would have presented its own challenges given the acqusition of Reguilón who was playing in your back four for the first time ... new teammates, different manager, different rhythm and context of it being a knockout game meant the Spaniard would have been eager to impress, and adapt to the rigors of English football. I could be mistaken but I think its possible that Dier's familiarity with Portuguese culture could potentially be useful in helping Reguilón settle.
Yeah Dier is definitely one of Jose's favorites from what I can tell. His move to central defense I think was the right move for his career though he is still quite inexperienced in that position but I think he will grow into a very good defender. He has a fantastic attitude and I can see why Jose really likes him. The Portuguese connection must help also.
Who would have thought Dier and Mourinho would be a match made in heaven
Well, for a 3rd division team most likely not, but for 1st division teams (after Bayern he went to Hertha and Augsburg) was definitly too less.
Not sure why he finished though.
Me.Who would have thought Dier and Mourinho would be a match made in heaven
Bad eh.
Also has an air of cockiness around him where he thinks he’s better then he actually is. So glad we didn’t sign him ahead of matic all those years ago...
Yay I actually got something right on here for once.
People were going way over the top about him in October when he was being lauded for essentially heading away long punts from likes of Burnley and West Brom. There's more to being a top class CB than that and he's been brutally exposed in last few months against the best teams in the league.
Spurs will have massive clearout at CB now as have to think they'll move on all of him, Sanchez and Toby. Rodon obviously gets a pass for being young and new to premier league. Doherty hasn't worked out either so wouldn't shock me if he went back to Wolves.
Spurs wanted 50 million.
Thank christ Jose didn't manage to spend £50m on him. Imagine the state of our team if he got his way and signed the likes Willian, Dier and Perisic.

The idea of us spending £50m on Eric fecking Dier is horrifying.
Him trying to square up to Cavani yesterday was comical.
Worst CB in the top 10. Would honestly take Luiz over him.
Whoah now, lets not get carried away.
Dier is average, hes another player that sort of hit a ceiling at Spurs, like Winks and Sanchez, and never improved.
Definition of an overrated English player, but some of the defending there doesn't look too different from Maguire's this season.
Genuinely amazed he's lasted as long as he did at Spurs.
Wasn't playing that much towards end of Poch's spell. He left in November 2019 so pretty impressive he's still there nearly 4 years on.

He's been fortunate that Spurs have hired 2 dinosaur managers since Poch. He doesn't get anywhere near the starting lineup for a PL manager who wants to play a progressive front-foot style of football.
Yes think he's had it now as Postacoglu usually plays a back 4 so it will be Romero + two new signings battling it out.
Read Spurs are in for Tapsoba who I thought looked a terrific prospect 2-3 years ago at Leverkusen but no idea if he's kicked on but still very young so Spurs could do worse.
He should go back to a smaller league. Could probably even bully a few strikers / opposition defenders in Serie A, but certainly not a Prem player these days I don't think.
Phew i thought united were linked to him
Levy: I've got good news and bad news.Where would you like to be buried ?

Dier: What's the good news?
That will be done.
Dier: What's the bad news?
We're doing it tomorrow.
Any defense that leaks 63 goals is going to get the chop. It's not just Dier, Sanchez and Tanganga should go as well.
Spurs linked with 2 youngish CB's in Tapsoba and Van De Ven.

fecking hellI'd forgotten we were linked to him back then. Yikes.
Phew, was wondering what in God's name I posted in an Eric Dier thread when I saw the alert!
