You can be right about not rating him particularly highly and wrong about him not being a big miss for the squad. If anything, you surely have to admit he's much better than Winks. Who we're only an injury away from having to play.

“He’s not much better than Hojbjerg if at all right now”

Yet he’s a big miss???? Explain to me how we can miss someone when we have a marginally better alternative, as you put it, already in that position.

Because Winks is the alternative

I’m not gonna bother replying to the Bale and Kane thing as you’ve completely misunderstood the point of their involvement in this debate.

My point is that if, when you come back, you’re only likely to be on the subs bench, you’re not a big miss. You’re a useful addition to the squad, sure, but you’re not a big miss. Losing a Bale or a Kane is a big miss. Again, not comparing them all, just trying to strike a clear definition as to what ‘big miss’ truly means.

A better player for the bench does not constitute a ‘big miss’

Dier was a big miss. He's not fantastic but the role he plays is important. Skipp is a big miss. He had a very important role in the team. Keeping Winks out of it.

Dier was a big miss as we don’t have another commanding defender that talks in our squad. I appreciate you can be average and a big miss, depending on squad strength, but given we have Hojbjerg starting in that same role, Skipp isn’t, by definition, a big miss. What you’re effectively saying is that Sanchez would be a big miss on account of the fact that he’s our best sub defender and he’s big because Rodon is the alternative.

To my mind a big miss can only ever be, not only a starter in the first eleven, but one of the vital pieces within that team. Not a squad player that strengthens the bench a little.

I’m hoping that we manage to buy a top midfielder in the summer...

Someone that NDombele should have been...

Sell Winks....

Skipp is a huge miss for us and for me is a definite starter over Højbjerg

He should be no where near international football. He shouldn't be anywhere near our first team either.

Not for me. PEH has been one of most consistent players this season. When Skipp is fit, his role should be to come on a sub to give fresh legs to either PEH or Bentancur.

Who should be in our first team ahead of Dier? He’s been mostly excellent this season. Don’t get the hate against him.

No one should because is the best of a bad bunch. In an ideal world Romero plays in the center of the three and Dier is his deputy.

If we want to challenge for top 4 and above, plus cups we are not going to do it with Eric Dier.

It's not hate. He is not good enough.

I'm still pished he let Ronaldo drop off and didn't follow him. Instead he gave him 10 yards of space, stood there with his hands behind his back because he is a lazy caaaant. I mean it's only Ronaldo, just let him shoot.

Watch him during a match. All he does is shout at people and tells them what to do. Doesn't want to get his shirt dirty one bit or get stuck it. He is lazy. Fraud.

I mean I strongly disagree with almost everything you’ve said, apart from him not closing Ronaldo down.

Me too tbh. He’s been very good this season. Also I think Romero is far better as the RCB than CB

Once Skipp comes back I think we'll be ok. Probably wouldn't have dropped as many silly points as we did earlier on had he been available.

Yep agreed. He has more license to get forward from RCB than he would in the centre, and that’s a big strength of his game.

You have obviously missed or forgot the games when Domero played in the center when Dier was injured. He was immense and he came out with the ball a few times as well. The only problem was the two muppets either side of him.
