Eric Dier was instrumental in Tottenham's 3-1 win at Chelsea last week but fans weren't so impressed by his appearance as a substitute in the 2-1 success at Stoke on Saturday.

Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama started in central midfield as Mauricio Pochettino's men edged a resilient Potters side, and Dier made a brief cameo appearance as Spurs looked to seal the win.

Dier almost cost his side a goal within minutes of replacing Kenya international Wanyama, only for Stoke to mess up a solid chance to draw level.

Tottenham fans took to Twitter to vent their fury over Dier, who set up Dele Alli's first goal against Chelsea with a long range pass.

Dier, only you could go from a worldie through ball one week against Chelsea, to absolute trash for 10mins against Stoke.

Tottenham won thanks to Christian Eriksen's brace, although Harry Kane has claimed the second goal as his own, as Spurs continued in their bid to secure a top four spot and Champions League qualification.

Dier will be hopeful of starting Tottenham's next game, a Premier League tie with Manchester City at Wembley, before Spurs make the trip to the south coast to take on Brighton.
