Yep, it’s like when everyone tried to say Trippier should play in midfield last year. It’s a whole different game in there compared to the back.Lets not mistake composure for being good on the ball.
whenever he tries to carry the ball he looks at risk of overrunning it.
Then add in the fact that in CDM you have to play with your head on a 360 degree swivel it adds another element of danger.
Dier is (supposedly) composed on the ball too, doesn't stop him getting robbed of possession or turning into trouble. and that's someone that has played the position for a while.
With a lot of teams employing a press now, I'm not sure it's a risk worth taking.
