From what I've seen he's done perfectly alright for them so far. Nothing to write home about but hasn't cost them any goals yet. We all know he wouldn't be there if Kane wasn't.
 
Since Bayern beat Union Berlin 1-0 on Diers' Debut, they haven't kept a single clean sheet.
And he only played half that match.



He hasn't started every one of those games, no.

Honestly, given the state of the options available to England at CB in recent years I always found it a bit of a joke that Dier wasn't at least a squad regular whilst largely a starter for us.

Especially considering he was at one point seemingly a mainstay for Southgate, and the way Southgate rigidly continues to select others despite dreadful form.

Think it's because Dier always played as a defensive midfielder for Southgate and England, before Dier started to consider himself a centre-back. He was actually really good there at the beginning. But considering he was a Southgate favourite to start with, it was a bit strange that he suddenly dropped him from future squads considering he's versatile if nothing else.

I'd be delighted for Dier if he makes the squad to be honest. He's been good in Germany, and i think he'd be okay at internal level mostly. That prem league is just to quick for him now, and the ange high line was just impossible for him

I think this England team could have done better than what they have, rather than succeeding because of Fraudgate.

Sort of reminds me of peak Spurs under Poch. I feel they should have won something between 16 & 18 but came up short every time.

Southgate plays the woke card and is seen by the BBC-led mainstream as an all round great guy and a good coach.

Fact is, he has had the best England squad since 66 at least and has done ok, but not particularly well given the quality he has. What irks me is he doesn't play to the style many of his best players play at club level ... i.e. with a high line, inverted full backs, only one CDM etc. He has the players to crush teams...

Despite last night's win, Bayern are in a mess. Pleased they have Eric tho.

Just coming in to post that, it’s great.

I expect the Ange bit will be used against him but he means it as a compliment.

He seems such a good lad. I’d have him back at the club in some capacity when he retires no doubt.

I wouldn’t. The fact is the tactical work that Conte did was BS. It was paint by numbers football drilling the team in how you want to play is actually very tactical and the easiest way to get your tactics across.

Ooh, I'm shocked to find you Conte-bashing.
Again.
You sound a tad like a labour voter who slanders everyone else all the time.

Think the last time he was playing this well was when he was trying to get into the World Cup (Qatar) squad. After that his form fell off a cliff.

Perhaps there's some sort of major tournament coming up again? There's something in June isn't there?? Just a coincidence of course.
