I really think it’s a marriage of convenience at the moment. Rose constantly talks about how much he enjoys being with England and Southgate, and not a word about Poch. It’s a matter of time before he leaves.
Best indication of future behavior is past behavior.
Good!
dont know where he'd go. He's had some good games lately but he's 2 years removed from his PFA team of the season form.
He's English, not Portuguese.
I’m really saddened by the change in sentiment towards Dier by some fans, thankfully I don’t think it is shared by Poch. Dier has had an injury hit season, when fit I expect him to make lots of you eat your words. As good as Sissoko has been this season I’d still have a fit Dier ahead of him at DM because he screens the defence so well. It is no coincidence our defence has looked much more vulnerable this season without either a Dier or Wanyama fit.
Generally agree. I think Sissoko has been more like Wanyama in the way he defends, i.e. he gets around the pitch and hunts the ball down. We don't really have anyone else who does the same as Dier and his role was so fundamental to the way we played that we've really missed him. Dier/Sissoko, Dier/Winks and Sissoko/Winks are all good combinations from the available options imo.
If we sign any ONE of Sessegnon, Ndombele and Fekir I will be astonished.
FYP
Disagree. If you look at when we’ve been most successful it has been when Dier plays DM and rotates with the CHs, he provides Poch a crucial flexibility in our in game formation.
He has been injured pretty much the entire season, what type of season do people expect him to have ?
