Hope he isn't out long, think we will be ok without him for a few games though, Dier is more than competent at CB.

He said he’ll be out for a few weeks. Obviously he’s just guessing though atm

I'm not overly worried.

He's actually been sub standard so far this season and Dier is more than capable back there. I also have alot of faith in Foyth.

Not the worst time, rather now than later on in the campaign. Internationals will help.

I know what he means though. Toby set amazingly high standards last season and hasn't quite hit them this term.

Hopefully his injury doesn't disrupt us like it did last October when it fucked us right up.

Dier with Sanchez and Jan in the back three, and Winks and Dembele in CM. That should do, with Toby hopefully back to face the Arse in the NLD.

As good as Toby is, I'd be more worried if we lost Vertonghen . In saying that lets hope he is back ASAP.

I prefer Dier at CB so we will be fine as long as Dembele survives the next few weeks.

At least the CL games are slightly less important now.

If Moose doesn't hold up we can always drop Dele back and play Son in his AM spot, plenty of options.

And that new bloke, Lamele I think his name is.

Dier will slot in Toby's position, if anything this injury weakens us in midfield a bit, hopefully Dembele is fit over the next few weeks.

We lost Toby on 25 minutes and went on to score three and look comfortable at the back against Real Madrid so I think we can let him have the time to recover fully.
Rio Ferdinand said last night he is our best defender and we will miss him but I think he is a year behind, he will be a miss but we are not the same team we even a year ago.
