Tottenham Hotspur player Eric Dier has had a somewhat erratic campaign for his club, with some fans criticising the youngster for his below-par performances at the back.

The problem is Spurs now have Victor Wanyama bossing things in the centre of the park, leaving Dier to only play sporadically in a position he looked to have made his own.
