Put Lamela and son back in a 3 behind Kane and the pressing returns.. It's as simple as that because that is how they naturally play. I'd be looking at those two and Lucas at the moment personally.
At this moment in time he's a bloody liability ?
In a team that genuinely wish to be regarded as title contenders he comes under one category in my humble opinion...."Liability".

Perfect analysis and eloquently expressed 10/10A prime example was his pathetic back pass in the the Liverpool game. Only a good save by Vorm saved his blushes. Sadly
I was a big fan of him when he arrived and was impressed by his versatility. I sometimes wonder if that has been his undoing. He must have so many systems in his brain plus what he is asked to do with England which would confuse the best of us. This last 12 to 15 months, for me, he seems to have gone backwards - prone to be caught out of position and too often his passing, once very good and creative, now too often gives the ball back to the opposition or puts us under pressure. Sadly, I have lost confidence in him these days. If Poch won't keep him in a regular role but insists on using him in different roles, I would tend to regard him more of a liability than being an asset. Having said all that I still think he is a good talented player but not with us. He helped enormously to get us where we are, but as we strive to move to the next level, for me he falls just short.

Ive been saying for a long time now Dier is not good enough for us in midfield, pretty sure i got shot down when i said it too.
For me he has regressed
I think some on here have got short memories. When he first starting playing in the role after obviously working very hard at it he was a revelation and had some great games bossing the middle of the park putting himself about, getting stuck in and popping the ball off nice and crisply
He’s been on a poor run of form for me and needs to step it up again
Really does look like he’s become complacent. Needs to keep improving as he has seriously stalled of late
Never ever a top Central Defender in a back 4. Doesn’t attack the ball and is pretty ordinary in the air
That header yesterday after Vorms initial mistake was pathetic
I think we need to buy a central midfielder in January.
