The Official 2019/20 Premier League Thread

Does anyone else think that Rice is overrated? He started well when he came onto the scene but he's a slightly better Dier at his best. West ham fans love him but I think he's just a good footballer but not outstanding.

I don’t think he’s got anywhere near the level Dier was at 3 or 4 years ago. I’m not sure what to make of him at the moment, he is VERY young for that position though.

I have absolutely no idea why I thought I would watch this game, fudging atrocious.

At least Southgate is there in person to see how pointless Grealish is (cue winning goal from the brummie lad...).

I have brick to do tomorrow and as a result will miss Dortmund Barca, and have suffered through this mess of a game..10 men and West Ham look more likely to win...

He is busy and effective but he couldn’t make a step up to a proper possession based side yet IMO

Very limited player. Playing in a position created just to cope with his limitations.

Sadly Dier ain’t been much better of late... can but hope he’s over the injury issues and not yet another midfielder that’s perma-crocked...

I'd hope most players would be aiming for better than a fudged by injuries Dier.

Unfortunately there isn't that level of data freely available for when Dier was fit and playing regularly. The basic data available from places like Whoscored suggest a far better performance.

I think he is a good player who is suffering a little from second season syndrome as is not uncommon in young players. I think he has a higher ceiling than Dier.

He has Noble to teach him how to evaluate his own ability.
