Tottenham Hotspur’s dreams of qualifying for Europe next season took a massive dent earlier this afternoon after they were defeated at home in a five-goal thriller.
And it has left fans blasting midfielder Eric Dier for his performance.
The north Londoners succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers, who leapfrogged them into fifth place, meaning they are now five points behind the top four.
Jose Mourinho’s men twice led at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before Raul Jimenez netted the winner in the 73rd minute.
Dier played the whole game in defence and supporters weren’t happy with his display.
Here’s what has been said…
There were plenty of superlatives used to describe the 26-year-old’s showing, including “stinker,” “disaster” and “embarrassment.”
While one supporter went as far as calling him a “headless chicken” which is a worrying sign considering he either plays as a centre-back or central defender.

Per SofaScore, Dier won just 50% of his aerial duels while just 14% of his long balls were accurate as well as losing possession seven times and five tackles.
A couple of fans claimed that the Englishman was at best a Championship standard player.
It has led to fans calling for him to get out of the club, either dropped or sold.
There was even a comparison made to former Spurs centre-back William Gallas, who effectively did the ‘reverse Sol Campbell’ after joining from Arsenal in 2010 before going on to end his career in Australia three years later.
