Thinking about next season I go backwards and forwards whether he is really good enough to be CM in a team with CL aspirations. For the large part he looks a very nice player neat and tidy and easy on the eye. My real quandary is if he is playing the deep role it’s the trade off with a player like Dier. If you’re playing winks in the deep role you have to accept you will lose a bit defensively over someone like Dier. But to compensate for that he needs to move the ball quickly and be more creative than Dier. And in the last 2 games he simply hasn’t. So your losing the defensive aspect of a Dier without any real progressive benefit. So you may as well just play Dier and be more solid. Will be interesting what poch does when Dier is fit, but it does now feel winks is first choice in that role. It’s really hard not to judge him with rose tinted specs, but right now he’s just a little bit short of what’s required imo.
