Comfortably in the top 4 if not higher.
Said it earlier today , but without him there is no communication or organising in the back line. The calmness at the back tonight compared with the Wolves game was unreal
Excellent today.
He is a monster, doesn't get the respect he deserves
Solid performance tonight and it showed how much of a leadership role he's taken in that back line. Seems to command the respect of those around him and wouldn't be surprised to see him take a vice captain role under Conte.
Always had a soft spot for him but never imagined that he’d be the one holding our back line together. Night and day compared the the Dier that came back from a weird string of injuries that he couldn’t seem to shake.
If he keeps this up he’ll find his way into the England squad again. Based on the last few months alone he deserve to have Maguire’s spot.
For the rest of the season, I shall answer those people with "could be worse, we could have Maguire"
I am sure that Dier reads this forum and when he read my defenses of him - which wasn't popular among a certain section on here - it must have given him that regained confidence he's playing with right now

what do you disagree with?The fact that our defense this season is better when Dier plays.
Or that he deserves Maguire’s England spot?

hands out disagrees like confetti. Some things are debatable, but calling Dier, and I quote: "dogshit" today is mental (haha - he deleted the eariler post! - after it received a barrage of disagress. haha!!)

Both
Dier doesn’t improve our defense and isn’t an upgrade over Maguire.

So you would be happier if we had spent $80mil on Maguire?
I don’t think Dier is world class, but he adds a sense of composure to our backline that we lack with Romero or Sanchez in the middle.
You're a strange cat. So who is your preferred back three then?
Romero- New CB- New CB
Honestly with Romero I don’t really care that much which of the other losers they play with them because none are good enough or really tgat different from the others.
I think Tanganga is clear the most talented but seems so low in confidence . Davies maybe gets in for being the only left footer. Rodon has done the least shit but hasn’t shown he is any good.
There really are no good options outside of Romero.
No because 80 million is ridiculous but for England their cost means nothing.
But taking away transfer fees Maguire is clearly a much better defender than Dier.
