5.England finally has an able holding midfielder in Dier
Trending
For the first time since 1987, four Tottenham Hotspur players started a game for England, and none disappointed. However, the performance of Eric Dier was one to take note of. The 22-year old impressed in the midfield and gave more than a suggestion that he could be the solution to England’s long persisted problem in the centre.
Post the Owen Hergreaves era, England’s holding midfield has been the Achilles heel. The likes of Steven Gerrard, Jack Wilshere, Scott Parker and Phil Jones have taken up the position in the past, but with little success. But in Eric Dier, they may have finally found a panacea.
The Spurs midfielder was largely successful in shutting out Mesut Ozil, and if he can do that, he can shut out any other in the world.
