He has looked like that on occasion for us though since he’s been with us. It’s not something new and it’s usually when he’s not 100% fit.
Was getting far more noticeable towards the end of the season though. In fact I was just making a post the other day RE. Dier, and was saying how he's played a much more static role for us whilst his midfield partner goes hunting (which with a fit Wanyama is ok, Dier is less ideal to go 'hunting' though). But even then he's starting to struggle to cover ground. Even here he is basically sitting in the middle of a three with plenty of help either side of him, and he's struggling to shuffle across small distances.
