Yeah, I haven't seen much of an improvement on Davies from him. But I think Davies himself was pretty underated.
Quite lucky not to get a second yellow tonight though.

The way the cards were given out tonight was a joke...... Was really worried we'd get a dodgy red.
Not terrible, certainly not great, still need 2 top class centre-backs if we really want to go places.
Romero - Dier - Lenglet (Davies) and an erractic goalkeeper behind them isn't gonna do much for you, that's for sure.

oh hes far better than davies. they are pretty similar in terms of actual defending, but on the ball lenglet is in a different league to davies. in this system the defenders need to be good on the ball because you have a workman like midfield that offer no real creativity, so you need ball players at the back. romero and lenglet are good enough.
I watched Munich vs Leverkusen this past Friday. Hincapie did not play too well. They lost 4-0. You might want to give it a watch.
He was surprisingly nasty today, like he was bullying teenagers. I liked that he made credible forward runs from the LCB position and am interested to see more of this.
He's definitely meeting the passing grade so far. Solid whenever called upon. Nothing amazing just yet, but perfectly fine.
I hope for more of the same at minimum.

If he was brought in on loan to be a stop gap until we could get what we need next summer then he's been more than serviceable. Experienced and good technique. And better than just wasting money on someone who we would look to upgrade regardless.
Imagine if we had to play a right footer at left sided centre back with Davies out like we have done over the past few years with Sanchez and Tanganga?

Didn't notice him at all last night.
Dunno if that's a good or bad thing.

never a bad thing to not notice a defender because it means he hasnt done any major fuck ups. noticed dier alright tho
It’s a good thing, both him and Davies are reliable and stable in that LCB position. Two options of a similar level.
Might have been just me but there seemed to be a lot of their attacks coming down the right...on Emerson and Romero's side
Quietly classy.
The form does not change my opinion that he looks talented. As it didn't with Sarr's in France. I watched Robertson in a Hull team that went down( he had a few stinkers too )and said we should sign him. I think as a LCB not out of position where he's playing now, at the money quoted he's worth a punt.

I thought he looked really good on the ball and was receiving the ball really wide, almost where Perisic would usually get it when he plays.
Very clever in possession on and off the ball. Very good player to have in the squad!

Good point but to be fair. Dier seems alot better than a few years back.
