'Abysmal' - Tottenham fans unhappy with Eric Dier vs West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur are playing their first match under new head coach Jose Mourinho.

The former Chelsea boss has taken his new side to the London Stadium to take on rivals West Ham United in a feisty first game in charge.

A poor start to the season, which has seen Tottenham fall to 14th place in the Premier League led to Mauricio Pochettino being replaced by the self titled 'special one'.

Mourinho has taken charge of just a handful of training sessions before the game, but named his starting lineup ahead if the match.

Eric Dier retained his place in the team, but has been pushed into midfield after starting in central defence for the last two matches, with Toby Alderweireld filling the space.

Tottenham got off to a good start against the Hammers, with Son Heung-min giving Spurs their first goal under Mourinho just after the half an hour mark, much to the delight of his new manager.

Things only got better for Tottenham with Lucas Moura turning in Son's cross to double the visitor's lead.

However, despite general optimism over the first half performance, there is one player who has not impressed the onlooking Spurs fans.

Take a look at what they had to say on Eric Dier's first half performance.

Should Spurs take all three points, they will climb up to sixth place in the table ahead of the 3 o clock kick offs.
