He is the leader of the of the band.....
He just looks like a no nonsense destroyer. No frills or fancy boots. He is a real throwback to a bygone era in terms of the "look" but my God, what a modern day skill set he possesses. He is a beast!! Love life, love Eric.And black boots awesome grows every game .
Becoming a very important player for us. Excellent performance today all round.
I'll be honest, he looks like a better DM than CB at this point and he's only about two months into this role. He's going to be absolutely immense after a season or two in that position.
Loved the interviews, showed some of the team spirit we now have in the team. What I love about Eric is he is no-nonsense, no frills but goes quietly about his business, doing a first rate job in whatever position he is put in - no complaints, just gets on with it. He has excellent skills and is a superb tackler. Sure he is still not quite the finished article but he has genuine promise and potential - just needs a little polish, which will come as he matures. And he's not scared to give his opinion!
I'm going to brag again and say that I was a huge fan of his last season. Said it time and again that he was a silent hero for us last season with a bright future.
completely agree mate, there weren't many others on here saying that when the team sheet came out on wed-I got destroyed for saying maybe 5/6 changes and a strong team for city and monaco.
We have to get our priorities right- the league and the europa are absolutely far and away the most important things this season as a club.
WHEN we beat the filth at the lane this season in the league nobody will even remember their reserves beating our reserves in the first round of the lge cup.
3 points today has completely obliterated everything before it this week and if we beat Monaco which I'm confident we can do, what a run we are on!
sorry but I dont agree with that at all, NOBODY could make Kaboul or Fazio look good-eg look at wednesday, Dier played and fazio got a fucking zero out of ten despite his protection.
I will openly admit that I am not as knowledgeable about football tactics as many posters on here. So for that reason I take great pleasure in reminding you that I started calling for Eric Dier to be moved to midfield on TFC last spring. Got a little crap from some of the football intelligensia on here. But sometimes you just gotta trust me and Poch. We got this.
I loved him from minute one as well-yes he made a couple of mistakes at rb but his passing, crossing, commitment and potential was so obvious from the west ham game!
I just applaud Poch for putting him in midfield against utd, hes been THE main reason we've picked up so many points and are unbeaten since imo.
amazing and so young, love the defensive he took in that interview as well-nobodys gonna slag us while hes about!

Only 6 months away from being linked to manure united and a 1 year away from real madrid. he is the english philip lahm.jokes aside it was a masterstroke moving him into midfield. He did make many costly errors at rightback last season but putting faith in the boy is paying big dividends
I now don't need to cough up for a DM 
Well done. I was skeptical of the move into midfield.I will openly admit that I am not as knowledgeable about football tactics as many posters on here.

Should rest him against Swansea.
Would rather he miss the Bournemouth match through suspension than the Liverpool one.
Storage seems to be back and I would love to smash them as we did Aguero and Man City. We've got beat by them for stupid reasons too many times over the past few years. Time to reverse that shit. Need to be full strength.
Alli too, I think would miss Liverpool with a yellow card against Swansea.

Whether we need another DM now with Dier playing so well is debatable. We need 2 players in every position and we have Dier, Bentaleb, Mason, Dembele and Ali for the 2 in front of defence. Mason is more of a box to box whilst Dembele is too ponderous. Ali is better further forward but can also be a very good box to box player. Bentaleb needs to recover his form. Would still like Wanyama to come in. Dier and Wanyama....wow! I hope Levy realises that in the next window we need to add to the squad not think that we have seen Dier come through so can save the money . Use the money we would have spent and improve even further.
