That's obviously very concerning considering the uncertainty with Dembele's transfer and Winks' injury history. Add in now Wanyama's uncertainty with his knee and you've really only got one reliable midfielder in Dier. I think the rumored "change in tactics" is likely Eriksen operating deeper/more central, but the proposition of only having Dier to operate in that defensive midfield/shielding role is a bit frightening. Hopefully Wanyama is fine and this is just a precautionary thing to avoid something more serious.
It's really not as big a deal if we continue with the system we played against Roma. If we continue with that 2 CMs incoming would be massive overkill.We needed to sign 2 cms this window anyway. Now ill be shocked with just 1.
It's almost seeming like winger was last year, glaring obvious need that had to be addressed yet was just disregarded the entire window for some reason.I was going to say we're down to the bare bones in central midfield, but it's worse than that - there aren't any bones left!
Wanyama injured again
Winks recovering from injury and has had fitness issues
Dembele and Dier played in the WC and still on holiday. Dembele questionable fitness.
I hope we're signing a CM this window.
Last sentence Poch says the injury is the same as 12 months ago. Not good.
