My god I never want to see him in midfield again
Skipp could and should have started instead of Dier.A very sad indictment on our midfield that he has to play back to back just as he’s trying to work his way back
When you watch Bayern you see what we need to strive for.
Dier and Sissoko just not at that level.
They’re not good enough but what’s more alarming is the gulf between Sissoko and Dier... at least Siss has bundles of energy and tries. Dier is just bloody awful.

People expect Dier to be charging around closing down the ball and winning it all over midfield when that's not his game. Yes, Kante and Ndidi might do that but Diet is more of an anchor. He will sit and take up a position in front of the front players to block passing channels. It's not necessary for him to be hi-octane charging around.Sissoko is useful, Dier is not.

Carrick did the same very effectively as did Pirlo. Only difference is the gulf in passing ability.
Yes, he didn't play great but he should be criticised for performance not style
I do agree with what you're saying but I think if you do play the anchor role your passing has to be top-notch, totally not diers fault and I'm sure he tries but I feel more is required for a club who wants to challenge for silverware than just simply shielding the back four or block passing lanes.People expect Dier to be charging around closing down the ball and winning it all over midfield when that's not his game.
