Because Poch has other options this season but still insists on playing them both, leading to the conclusion that he feels they're both capable of playing as they are, otherwise he'd use someone else.

Dele Alli went on periscope a little while ago with Eric Dier as his 'tour guide'...
Dele Alli @Dele_Alli
Aside from being ADORABLE - this probably indicates that Dier will be given a much-needed rest for Dortmund and won't travel. After all, we already know that Alli is suspended for the match, and I'd have thought the lads would be getting on the plane imminently if they were flying over.

Yep. Given my previous comment and the timing of this tweet - no Dier tomorrow.
That's a good call IMO.

In my view, Kane and Dier are actually the 2 players that Poch doesn't really have equivalent alternatives for. But I agree that in Poch we should trust, and that if he plays them, it's because he feels they can hold up.
Dortmund's best guess on what we'll throw at them:
Not expecting Lamela in a European game is a bit of a mistake, I think.

They drew Bayern 0-0. So by the footballing laws of relational superiority, if we can beat them tomorrow then Spurs>Bayern? Someone please confirm my maths.
Love how polite and respectful they are to the driver, more so than many non-rich people I know in real life.
Pretty sure Dier hasn't travelled neither.
Yup. But it will be fun to learn what the German phrase is for "How the fuck do you tackle that guy!?!?" when they watch Dembele moving through midfield.
Bentaleb is also in the squad, according to the team video.
We have such nice boys, whereas that lot down the road have...
I LOVE ERIC DIER AND ERIC DIER LOVES ME.
'Wie zum Teufel geht ihr den Kerl'
I was just gonna say the same thing! I'd hope they wouldn't be the type to punch the Cabbie in the face if he were wearing an Arseanal hat... whereas for some, the the boot's on the other foot...
