Great minds fellaWhoops doubled posted what you already saidGuido 🇺🇦
Okay, I gotta be a bastard here, and ask again because I've posted just 10 or 20 post before this, why I believe, they won't start together, leaving it as an open question why people believe so? Not to be a cunt on purpose but because I'm honestly interested in what makes so many on here thinking, they will?
Because their both footballers, so i think it's possible.

By that standard, it's also possible that Trippier and Davies will play as wingers
ochlol: Discussion has to be based on how our manager actually likes his football played. Otherwise it's kinda pointless.
Norf Laandhan Yobbos innit
plus 3 or 4 suspensions per year.
Gibbs might give you a good argument about the wingers.By that standard, it's also possible that Trippier and Davies will play as wingers

We are likely to have 3 players Moose, Dier, Wanyama vying for 2 places, i don't believe Poch would sanction buying a player that he feels can't play with either of the other 2. That's my take on it but it's just an opinion like everyone elses.
I expect that in some Champions League away games, we'll want to play with 2 holding midfielders, maybe at some PL away matches too.
Has he got a history of knee issues then?LEAKED MEDICAL XRAYS!!
Not seeing 6 toes...
He could well do it after all those leads we let slip.It's just because we're all madly in love with Dier
The assumption, I feel, is that Dier has been doing so well, that he's going to be next to impossible to dismantle from the position. But of course, you're right in that anyone Poch brings in (who's not clearly a youth player) will be of a mindset to win a place.
Where I do think, you're wrong is that he could play alongside Dier. I keep seeing people saying this. You brought "didn't pay too much attention to the squad last year" into it. I do think, I paid attention, and I cannot recall Poch playing two defensive mids in any match. Last year or any time before that. So when did my attention slip? And what makes you think, he'll do it all of a sudden?

Well the "not paying much attention" comment was more about stressing the point that you don't know what our best XI will be next year. It's just the unpredictability of having an interchangeable squad and we saw that in the season just passed. That said I don't see why we wouldn't see Dier and VW in the same line up, because of injuries and suspensions or with (presumably) VW in a more offensive role.
I maybe it's the Champions League quarter final second leg at Wembley, and we're 2-0 up after the first leg so Potch drops in Dier and VW to protect the defence.
