    If any CB partnership in the PL was going to achieve this it was definitely gonna be Dier and Davies.

    The drop in quality from Romero and VDV to them is absolutely absurd the more I think about it lmao

      Sanchez weren’t great but without another CB coming in it was crazy to go into the season with just 3 senior CB’s. Sanchez over Dier in a high line all day long if I had to choose.

        Yup, Sanchez would have been far better for the system, but from what I saw reported Dier wasn’t willing to leave. He’d rather to see out his contract, despite it being clear at that point that he was only going to get a look in if we got injuries…

      Davies could be a starter for a bottom team or reliable backup for mid team. He’s not good enough if we want top 5.

      Dier on the other hand wouldn’t work in a championship side. He’s been dropping off for years but this last two has been a cliff. He does fuck all, and when he tries it is an error.
