Pundit criticises Eric Dier for what he was seen doing in Tottenham loss
Don Hutchison has told that what Eric Dier did after Tottenham Hotspur conced🎀ed against Leicester City on Saturday is something he really hates, with the defender ordering others around after his own mistakes in the defeat.
Spurs were soundly beaten by the Foxes at the King Power Stadium. Tot🐽tenham lost 4-1. And there was controversy as Harvey Barnes also had the ball 📖in the back of the net on another occasion.
None of the backline covered themselves in glory against Brendan Rodgers’ side. But it was a particularly poor day for Dier. The Englishman almost s♔eemed reluctant to challenge the strikers, instead standing well off as they got closer to the box.
Hutchison hits out at Dier after Tottenham loss
It was a re𒅌ally tough afternoon for the 29-year-old. But it was not the performance which annoyed Hutchison most. Instead, he took exception to the way Dier seemingly tried to absolve him of blame.
“Defensively, they were all over the place. Eric Dier, there’s two goals where Eric Dier’s passive, and he’s standing off Iheanacho, doesn’t engage him. Go and close him down.༺ And then Harvey Barnes, he doe🐻s exactly the same thing,” .
“To make it worse, which I hate, it’s one of my pet hates, he starts ♒pointing at everyo꧃ne else. ‘You do this, you do that’. You do it! That is Tottenham all over.”
Dier’s form is proving to be a real problem for Tottenham right now. When💫 Antonio Conte came in, it appeared that he may be about to 𒊎get his career back on track.
In fact, Conte claimed early on in his tenure that Dier had the potential to be꧑ one of the best in the world in that position in the middle of the back three.
His form saw Dier earn a recall to the England squad. However, his performances in more recent months have been a lot more worrying. He appears to ꦫhave gone backwards again.
The problem is that Tottenham do not really have the depth to take Dier out of the firing line. They will welcome Cristian Romero back af🐷ter his suspension. But they lack the resources to replace Dier for the time-being.
