pretty sure its just succession planning. there’s a good chance we lose Toby & Jan in the not too distant future, Sanchez needs to play a lot this season, and step up.
Might only be a weak explanation but the reason Dier might be preferable to Verts on the bench is that in theory he could play midfield too.
We will get more of this now the squad is better. I think this is a good explanation. Poch can push the players harder now and I think this is just a friendly prod to remind players that they aren't undroppable as well as push Verts to his best levels.Have to remember Jan is 32 no doubt we are succession planning but also no doubt some mind games from Poch to push everyone to work harder.
Use senior squad member as an example that no one is undroppable.
Really? Thought he was very good apart from the goal, where he was too worried about Wesley and not worried enough about the ball. He was strong, assured, and good on the ball.
When Koscielny refused to play for them lot, the club come out and told the fans immediately, why do we cover things up from fans all the time?
We didn’t have to do much defending as they quite rightly sat back and tried to hit us on the break. And as you said, hid didn’t defend well for the goal. Tends to get embroiled in too many off the ball physical encounters, of which he actually often ends up coming off worse.

I agree but Poch has never used him thereJan is a better DM then dier is. Jan is good on the ball.
Ridiculous comment. Jan has never played CM for us and Dier is an international in the same role.Jan is a better DM then dier is. Jan is good on the ball.
I don't think this is a big deal, his explanation about Dier covering 2 positions and also Aurier being able to cover either side made perfect sense, Jan was also looked a big sluggish in pre-season so at worse it's a kick up the ass. Fact he was at the stadium with the boys tells you that everything is fine in the long run.

Jan would at the very least in front of Victor.
All a bit weird. Jan was for ages a reliable performer.
SC for yaPeople spend years crying out for depth and more rotation, then get the hump when players are left out.
It's gonna happen a lot this season.
