It was probably Poch’s idea!
Well I just hope poch said to him that he wants to see that Eric Dier every spurs game from now on. West ham this weekend will be a great place to start.

Did some stats comparison with Fernandinho who many currently regard as best DM in PL. interestingly Dier is same on pass completion up on forward passes which really surprised me 70% to 69%. Also ahead on big chances created, through balls, crosses all quite surprising. Even more surprising is he’s actually down on defensive duties. Down on interceptions clearances aerial battles. You would think it would be other way round he’d be excelling on defensive side. Maybe it’s a clue as to why we seem to be giving up more chances and generally look a bit fragile in the middle.
No way is he first choice anymore after the way Winks and Sissokko are playing together. Will be interesting to see how Poch plays this out when he's back.
Indeed a back up utility player is his only role for me as things stand.Don't know where to put him. The issue of playing several positions OK, but not great at any of them.

Every team/squad needs flexible players like Eric Dier. I am sure he will remain an important part of the squad and get lots of games.Don't know where to put him. The issue of playing several positions OK, but not great at any of them.
