I love Ryan Mason and desperately want him to succeed, unfortunately the transition from interim to full time head coach path doesn't ever seem to work out. I'm also going to assume that the current state of the squad means we will need to continue with Conte's patterns of play and restricts...
Like many, I would love for us to get Nagelsmann but it would be foolish of him not to wait until the summer where there could be quite a few "top jobs" available e.g. Madrid, PSG, Inter, AC Milan and perhaps Chelsea. There's no need for him to jump directly out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Last night you really saw how good he is off the ball, Everton were shocking first half and so easy to defend against. Dele made an instant impact constantly finding space between the lines and dragging Palace around.
Lampard looks a shocking coach.
If they stay up I suspect he will play more for Everton next season, since they've been dragged deeper and deeper into the relegation battle I suspect they literally can't afford to play him, should the worse happen.
I was very much under the impression that Dier was Poch's first real signing. A player who didn't have the flair status of a Baldini signing, Fazio on the other hand. Your right though, simply guessing.
Not good enough for the Premier League but looked terrible in the Europa League too. He wants to play football and not just hoof it long, however he seems to need 2 seconds more on the ball to find the pass than anyone is willing to give him.
From whoscored analysis he is not a defensive midfielder, lacks concentration and the ability to tackle.
Strengths however : Taking set-pieces, Key Passes, Through Balls and Finishing.
I don't think Dier had hissy, but he did pull out of the England U-21 squad to stay and train with Poch, so he could impress are start more at center-back.
Dier played in midfield in this match apparently, there is no doubt that he is physically able to meet Poch's requirements to play in this role, the real test is whether he can move the ball quick enough.
