Tottenham Hotspur is playing in Europe this season; however, it’s a competition that, if it were to Eric Dier, wouldn’t like to be part of for any much longer if he had a say.
Mirror relayed the comments made by the 27-year-old, who stated that playing in the UEFA Conference League is beneath them. After reaching the Champions League final two years ago, it does seem like a fall from grace for the players on that squad.
“We need to be challenging for European football. There has to be European football in this stadium. With no disrespect to the Conference League, we need to be playing above that. That’s what we should be striving towards,” Dier said.
Dier likely refers to Champions League being played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when stating that European football. The task is to finish at least in the top four this season, and 2021-22 started on the right foot.
However, Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad did endure a three-match losing streak that they snapped against Aston Villa. Now Spurs will look to get back on track as they only sit two points from a top-four spot.
If they’re going to avoid finishing outside, they’ll need to prevent further losing streaks.
Dier is exactly where he is meant to be at the European Conference Level. He lost his man yet again for the Villa goal and as always shoots his arm straight up in the air as if it was someone else’s fault. He is in my opinion bang average and has been for many seasons along with Ali and Winks. They should all have been jettisoned during the summer transfer window
Oh the delicious irony.
Off the top of my head all I can remember is you rooted to the ground while Calvert-Lewin soars above you. Actually that is wrong it is coming back to me now – you did jump but like a schoolgirl turning away from the contest.
Pathetic.
2 points dropped I’m sure there were more so there is your EL gone fool.
Who are the negative clickers? Never give an alternative view do you 👊💦
One of the reasons that ENIC FC play in this competition is because they have Oafs like Dier, etc etc on the Payroll.
Think he needs to smell the coffee….the club is where it is because of poor investment.
Delusions of grandeur
He’s at his level in the conference league. Admire his confidence that he thinks he’s better than that though.
