Dier takes man marking bug eyes to a new level......
He's clearly defecting!Dier takes man marking bug eyes to a new level......
Definitely hasn't been as hard in his tackles, but his performances have been fine imoDoes anyone share my impression that he's been a bit less impactful lately? It seems like he's playing entire games as if he had one yellow and tries to avoid the second.
Earlier in the season I noticed that his game was affected heavily whenever he picked up a yellow, that he was much better, that he tackled more and harder, before picking up the card, and that his post-yellow more careful approach made him less efficient in his role.
He's extremely disciplined, when he needs to be. We see that both in his positioning and the way he's avoided reds and has kept away from the yellow since reaching nine. But his discipline cards wise affects his game.
Garbage? Don't think he was that badUsually he's rarely out of position so doesnt need to make a tackle.
Yesterday though he was garbage.
Don't think it was what we have come accustomed to. Just seemed like he was there.Garbage? Don't think he was that bad

I don't think Dier was poor but he didn't seem involved as much as usual. Tbf the game was really stretched at both ends and midfields on both sides were bypassed a lot. At least that is how I saw it.Don't think it was what we have come accustomed to. Just seemed like he was there.
So many smilie possibilities....
We have a shameful lack of Toby smilies. So I gave it a stab...make it happen, #Case
