Dier lacks the mobility to be a top-class DM. When he first played there he was probably 15-20 pounds lighter than he is now. He’s not slow per se but he lacks the lateral quickness needed to close down space as our opponents’ attacking moves develop and is constantly getting passed around in midfield. We need a real athlete at the DM position.
That being said Dier has everything necessary to be an excellent CB. Hope we see him given a run of matches next to Sanchez.
