While I am a fan of Carrick, it is clear Dier is the standout player in that position now. He may not have Carrick's range of passing, but he beats him hands down on age, fitness, strength on the ball, defensive discipline.
He is playing in a side that dismantled Carrick just the other week, and who are not only above them but playing good football. Dier is the platform for that
