Perception is a funny thing. He played a number of forward passes into the feet of the forwards on Saturday similar to the one for Lamela's goal. Were they played by someone like Ruben Neves, who has a reputation for good passing, you'd notice immediately and be very impressed; when it's Dier it sometimes goes unnoticed. Watching the game live, I was underwhelmed by Dier's performance, but I rewatched the match on Sunday and realised he'd had a very, very good game.
