As @Flashp said, he played mostly in midfield but did fill in elsewhere too. Walker, Vertonghen, and Alderweireld played over 30 times each. Rose and Davies 18 times each. The back 4 was settled enough.As @synththfc says, 23 Dier's appearances were at CB in the 16/17 season and also, all but 3 of Sissoko's were on the wing.
The key point is we had strong midfielders. Not attacking mids filling in there. Proper midfielders. We should try playing a couple again instead of forgoing that central battle.
