So good that Eric is back, we'll need him tomorrow v Sheff U, and the Mackems game should have helped sharpening him up.

Did Dire took the CB spot from fazio for the season ?
or do you think fazio is still ahead of him ?

I think it is still Fazio's spot, but Dier was really effective todaay and strategically his speed just made more sense. I'm really excited to see how we continues to progresses.
Hard to believe he's only 20 and played his 3rd (?) BPL match as a centre back. His future is bright!
Played very well today, once again. I was starting to get a bit worried when he wasn't playing that maybe Poch didn't rate him, but the last few games he's stepped it up and good on him! He's got to start against Liverpool, in my opinion. He's much faster than Fazio and we'll need his pace against Sterling, Sturridge etc.
21 now, his birthday was 15th of Jan. Still very young though and looks like he'll mature into a great player. Defenders tend to hit their peak form at a late age (28-30+), considering this he's got ages left to develop and he's already very, very good. The best transfer this season?
This kid has been a silent hero for us this season, if you ignore his two goals at the start of the season.
Very bright future.

This. I think selection of either is solely down to who we are facing. If it's a big bulky forward that likes to throw himself about and is good in the air then Fazio starts. Pacey forwards get Dier instead. The fact that they are both so totally different is a blessing
Well, cheers for making me look a mug :chadliblow:.... Jokes aside, I agree completely! The signing looks like a steal for now.
Probably will with the pace of Sterling and Sturridge
How Much did we get him for again? Whatever it was looks like a fucking bargain atm!
Reports say £3-4 mil.
100% on this. Was a little nervous (but trusted in Poch) when I saw him in the lineup against Woolwich, but went on to make me feel silly for doubting him.
Not only is he a little more mobile than Fazio generally (which makes him a better choice to play against Liverpool and their quick attackers), but I was totally shocked at how fast this lad can run when he gets up a head of steam.
There were a couple of times in the North London Derby where the blonde fucker blitzed towards their defence like a mad bastard. Really good at getting his head onto corners too - no surprise that he's bagged a goal that way already.
His massive forehead will get a goal or 2 from set pieces before the end of the season.
It already has one. Lets go for 2 or 5.

asked about his broken nose which he broke near the end of the game "... it's fine... you're not a real centre half till you've broken your nose a couple times..."
