Nothing short of a trainwreck performance for him. Just so, so bad.
What is he good at then? He’s not good with his feet. Plays far too many straight balls into midfield that puts us under pressure. He can’t defend crosses. His timing and his vertical leap are both terrible. He doesn’t have good awareness as evidenced by today and plenty of other games where he hasn’t got a clue what’s going on around him. He’s not quick so he can’t recover if the other side gets in behind. Yeah he’ll put a few blocks in. But you’ll find dozens of plodders who’ll throw themselves in the way of shots but can’t do much else. I would genuinely like to hear a convincing defence explaining why he’s a good defender.it was a brainless pen to give away but he's not a crap defender. FFS.
he's not good with his feet? a footballer with 45 caps for England isnt good with bis feet? I dont k now what that means.What is he good at then? He’s not good with his feet.

It means his passing is poor. But you don’t have an answer then so no worries. Didn’t think you would because there isn’t one.he's not good with his feet? a footballer with 45 caps for England isnt good with bis feet? I dont k now what that means.
if only he was as good as he thinks he is.

Ok mate. I wish I could watch him play and convince myself of that as well but maybe I haven’t suffered enough blows to the head.he's good at defending.
At least on target unlike his mediocre free kick in the 88th minute.The pass from Dier back to Hugo who had to head it out of danger was pub team football.
If this is how we’re playing now and all we require is our centre-backs to be focused and firm defenders then there’s literally dozens of players that would be an upgrade on him.I watched Brighton v Liverpool the other day, and thought I would happily take any of there 3 cb's (white, webster, dunk) before Dier, that in itself says a lot
Dier is widely slated universally for starting for England, and think most would agree he should be low on the list of cb for England (top of my head Stones, Maguire, Dunk, Webster, Coady, Gomez, Tarkowski, Mee, Mings are better), and in addition not sure caps for England are always a true indicator of a player, Phil Jones has 27 ffshe's not good with his feet? a footballer with 45 caps for England isnt good with bis feet? I dont k now what that means.
