I was gutted when Naughton got sent off not least because it will mean yet more games where Dier is forced to play out of position in a poor team.
It's often helpful for players, especially defenders, to spend some time playing in other positions in addition to their favoured one, to give them a better understanding of how the position works and relates to others around it.
But this repeated playing of him at RB (not that we really have much other option) isn't doing Dier any good anymore IMO, in fact I think it's denting his confidence.
I'd really like to see him line up alongside Vertonghen in the middle, as I think he's destined to become a very, very capable CB. He reminds me of Cahill a lot at the moment. But Kaboul will never be dropped unfortunately, if we're lucky we might see this in a EL game.

So frustrating that Naughton got sent off.
Desperate to see Vertonghen and Dier together at CB.
True enough, i was going on the logic that Poch tends to select players he has worked with all week during international breaks, which would mean Dier would start at CB assuming he does train at CB.This implies that if Naughton wasn't sent off we'd have a cat in hell's chance of seeing it anyway!
Only in a newspaper do you come across words like 'paymasters'.
Up there with 'war chest'.
Not happy with journos this week eh Bobbins?

But on that logic, and because Dier will have to play at RB, the two CBs who will start against Hull are Kaboul and Chiriches
Keep the optimism coming, mateWalker won't be back vs Hull
As reliable as my best mate and a spurs fan who runs a top club in london(libertine) can be ? I was in there a few weeks previous and saw Lennon rose and naughton off their heads! Lennon didn't turn up for training the next day and hasn't really been involved since. Is it because you don't want it to be true that you mock my info ?Were they down your local or was this reliable info from 'some bloke off Twitter'?
See my previous post.Where's this coming from?
Well dier was chucked out about 2ish for being too pissed and Kane was there till the lights came on so you may be right! However I doubt it was lemonade in the bottles of cristal that he was knocking back.Harry Kane doesn't drink

Dier will get his chance at Centre Back. When Walker gains full fitness and Yedlin arrives at the club they will both occupy the Right Back position. Naughton will probably be moved on.
