He was superb. He’s just an excellent footballer. Think he and Ndombele could be magnificent together.

Yet everyone says Dier should be started I front of him! Idiots, Dier ain’t got nothing on Winks. He has been one of, of not our best player this season so far.

I say this after every game, he’d kill it for a Barca/Madrid/Juve. Thank God he’s N17 through and through

Winksy can always hold his head high. How he isn’t starting for England I don’t know.
