I could accept him passing poorly when he was pressed by someone like Liverpool or City, but his confidence is so low at the moment he’s just coughing it up under zero pressure.He very rarely looks anything other than a half decent defender playing in midfield. The sloppy passing under pressure is the most obvious symptom of that.
Saw this the other day and maybe the pic isn't fair but perhaps this is why he's not so mobile these days

In my own pro-dier world I thought he had a good game. We played a very compressed midfield
Not really. I don't think we were that open it's just they were relentless in attack and we countered relentlessly. Before GLC came on dier and winks were fairly withdrawn. There was a lot of ebb and flow but very little penetration through the middle. We were so compact I thought we did a good job of keeping grealish out on the flanks.Explaining why it was one of the most open games of Premier League football we've seen this season.
Dier has had it.
Again, it's not pretty when Dier plays but it's effective. There's also the chance that he could improve as he has slowly started to do.

But look, we're all guilty of writing off players too soon, most famously Kaz Hirai writing off Harry Kane. He's clearly useful and trusted by a succession of managers so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt while at the same time wishing he could pass like Xavi.

Put him on a marathon training regimenprecisely this. actually thought he was pretty mobile when we signed him, tall and lithe. good rb and very good at dm in that first season. dire since.

Yeah he just can't effect the game defensively or offensively. He's so slow now (to react and move) that he has to take such a defensive line to intercept players that he may as well not be there. And when we are in possession he can't get in the ball as he so easy to close down.i re watched yesterdays game and i just saw so much of the game passing him by... it felt like he was always a couple yards off fighting for balls, or simply the play passing him by.. thats so so poor in terms of top league football as a CM..... He needs to be dictating play, but he was lost.....
Needs to revert back to CB for the good of his career and thats not just his Spurs career......
I hate this season I hate it so much
Lucas Moura is playing like a 20 year old who you say to yourself give him time, he needs time to develop. His first touch is shit, his passing is woeful fucks every attack up, his movement isn’t good. Painfully average player can’t understand how he starts every game even with our injuries. Tired of watching him every game
And Dier is finished we knew that so why did Mourinho start him? Why did we sign Gedson (nothing against his signing) instead of a DM, the position we need to strengthen the most? Every game it takes one pass from the opponent to get past the midfield and then our defence isn’t good enough to stop most attacks.
Alli is such a frustrating player. His movement is world class but his finishing is so inconsistent and he takes so long with the ball, makes sloppy passes or try a unnecessary nutmeg. He’s not a kid anymore he needs to cut those things of his game now or he will never develop
We need a miracle for top 4 now, fuck this season man
