Not sure wimmer is the answer tbh but I agree he deserves a run in the side until vertongon is fit. I've said it before and I'll say it again dier is not good enough to play in a cb 2 for us, he proves it time and time again
He is good enough, but he needs to play on the right of the defence rather than the left, and he's a much better defensive midfielder than he is centre back. Wimmer hasn't been so bad to warrant being left out of the team almost entirely whilst Jan's been out. It's virtually moot now though as Jan should be back if not on Sunday then for the second leg.
Wishful thinking because Pochettino will never drop Wanyama, but I hope when Jan's back in the team we return to the Dier-Dembele midfield that was such an effective core of our most balanced team in years.
