Isn't Dier faster than Walker in terms of recovery pace? Surely would take fewer risks as well. Obviously doesn't offer as much on the attack but that's not where the glaring problem is.

Dier is very quick, so hardly gonna be an issue.
Against Newcastle Sammy Ameobi had him on toast ... Sammy Ameobi.
Not sure that was entirely an issue of pace, it was more to do with the fact that he isn't a right back and as such doesn't quite understand the role, therefore he isn't fantastic positionally so gets exposed.
This is the best we've got ATM.

Dier has def improved, he's no longer that naive like in beginning of the season. If you compare him to Walker at RB position at the moment you'll notice Walker is only pacier and stronger. Whilst Dier is arguably better passer, crosser, tackler, has better positional sense, and even defends better 1 on 1. Dier is also overall far more intelligent footballer and well coached compared to Walker.
Plus Walker is off form and a little bit of competition is healthy. He has to earn that starting spot.
Scenes if Paulinho doesn't start.
There needs to be changes in personnel and tactics.
I'd love to know why Fazio and Stambouli didn't even make the bench yesterday BTW.

Prediction:
Spurs X - (X-1) Burnley
If we score 2, Burnley will score 1. But if we manage to score 5, Burnley will still score 4.

If he isn't a right back, and doesn't understand the role, why would we start him there ahead of the current England right back?
I thought that's how it's pronounced just like Latsio FC.Fatsio?Get in the bin.
I didn't say we should. We only did when Walker was injured.
For banter.
Need 3 points.
Ings hasn't scored in 5 games. A hat-trick it is for him, then.
Harsh.
