Exactly... and that's our problem. We don't have a defence. Dier should never be among the first to be in the starting 11... not anymore... but we have 4-5 defenders we can't use. They don't have enough quality or talent. And they can't do what they are supposed to do - DEFENDAs bad as Dier can be I'd still have him starting ahead of Sanchez, Tanganga and Rodon, personally. In an ideal world Dier would be one of the first on the list to go but those three need to go before him IMO.
Dier can certainly make mistakes but I think you have more of a capability to not notice that he's there if the team is playing really well, more so than if Sanchez or Tanganga in particular were on the pitch as sometimes everything they do can feel shaky and panicky.
One thing's for sure though, he can't be considered to be anything more than backup, and ideally 4th choice.
And this has nothing to do with coaching. Because we have had 3-4 managers trying to teach them already.
