Argh , with you.
There might be a good excuse to change shirt number if we sign a left back in the summer.

Best sign of the season ? I guess so he improved us so much in the defensive departament, i swear that the UCL match could have been way different without him, Mönchengladbach is a quality team Thuram, Pleá, Stindl and Zakaria caused serious problems to Bayern, Madrid, Inter and Dortmund, they couldn't do a thing to our defence and Dias was a big part of that.
this one?
I remember this moment in that game. It's absolutely brilliant how quickly Stones anticipated the ball coming in, and ran ahead of Aubameyang.

Or just playing with Stones, he's only had a couple of games with Laporte.He definitely seems more comfortable playing as the left sided CB
He just looked a bit slower on the ball to me. I think he's like Terry in that he's right footed who prefers playing the ball up the left channel.Or just playing with Stones, he's only had a couple of games with Laporte.

That's probably just down to how high BMG were pressing, all our back 5 had less options for a pass and holding a second longer can cause them to overdo the press and leave gaps behind, which we were definitely doing last night to play through them. I was actually really happy with that part of our game, so few teams press us high domestically these days and when we've had to deal with it previously (Lyon, Spurs, Liverpool) we've struggled a bit. BMG pressed brilliantly last night and the lads just seemed to enjoy playing through it.He just looked a bit slower on the ball to me.

Not getting any credit for switching positions on a weekly basis right now. That is not an easy thing to do, 99% of defenders have one side and only play that side their entire career, mirroring it and flipping all your routines is very difficult to do but Dias is doing it fortnightly in a team he's only been a part of for 6 months shouldn't be underestimated how impressive that is.

Did anyone see Dias win the set-piece situation and the Aerial dual? He is the king of the air.
