Lloris was really not in the wrong, it is desperate that people are using this as a stick to beat him with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All comes to people’s judgement. IMO he should’ve held the ball and slowed the play and take the point at that time in the game.

Some would want him to go for the win and start a counter attack.

Considering what happened I’m sure Lloris probably regrets it

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well he had two options as you said, start a counter attack which was or hold the ball for longer and play more negatively. Both were good options and the one he chose he executed well, it wasn't his fault that Wanyama messed up.

I am sure he doesn't regret throwing the ball out, but definitely regrets conceding so easily. Some people are so desperate to point score to push an agenda.

Lol you with your agendas or fickle statements

Not really as I’ve already put my point across

As for a agenda there would need to be more than one or two instances where someone has put a unfair criticism towards one player

Clearly is if you mentioned rightly/wrongly my posting style instead of all the other points raised.

I already done my opinion no need to do more.

Dier just needs to remember that if we’ve got the 3 CB’s he can play 5 yards further forward as we don’t necessarily need an anchor man in there. I think we’ll improve the play with quicker and more varied passing in midfield with Dier instead of Wanyama.

In regards to the long term I’d like to see if we can mould Winks into a Carrick-type or player.

The style of midfielder Dier is doesn't suit the 3 at the back formation

Imo we should play Winks and give him a run in the starting XI along side Wanyama. Dier however will probably every game no matter what in midfield

I would agree to an extent, although I would say it does not suit Dier with Dembele.

Dier with Winks is a different dynamic though. Better for me, as Winks is that bit livelier than Dembele, which balances out Dier's natural conservative approach.

If we play that 5-diamond-1 with Eriksen and Sissoko deeper it also plays to Dier's strengths.

We have some great options. Sissoko has been a big plus, something different still. Still looks like a big toddler but it is working somehow

An interesting development was Sanchez starting off in the middle of the three, which I did not see coming to be honest. Having Toby and Jan either side may well play to Dier's strengths, and it may well evolve in to the Belgians stepping out together to playmake, with Dier dropping off with the Colombian.

Totally agree about Winks. I like that he is learning his trade playing more of a Modric-type of role, but I certainly see his future being a deeper player like Carrick. Like a sort of Hargreaves/Carrick hybrid

i like Toby in the middle personally

I wouldn't want Winks ending up like a Carrick type player as I think he is built for more, his style is the type that sits on the Leon Britton-Xavi line and I believe he can end up on the better end of the scale.

Yep I’d quite like to see that from Winks. Can develop his reading of the game while improve his passing. Prove that you don’t have to be some Mourinho brute to play in a defensive midfield role.

Me too.

Perhaps Poch sees Sanchez's pace as a tool to allow the other two to push up higher and not get caught out too often (although there were problems v APOEL for one).

Poch does not rest on his laurels though, it is a lovely trait of his. When you think he is going one way he pulls the rug and throws you a curveball.

I wouldn't say it was lovely

i'd prefer Sanchez/Dier at RCB, then you have Toby in the middle with Sanchez available to play there if needed.

Wanyama and Dembele/Winks in CM. When we have to play 4231 Dier plays in DM and covers the 2 CBs.
