Just a fragile player. Thought having Perisic would help him but he’s regressed this season.

For where we want to go, he’s not good enough.

Not sure why we got rid of Reggie tbh, he had so much more about him than Sess, i have been trying to see it with him but he just has nothing about him in terms of confidence or belief or passion…i know he is young but most younger players play without fear, the lad is petrified.

Apparently Reguillon wanted to go back to Spain

It’s not his fault, but as others have said, he simply isn’t at the level a top half of the premier league team require, especially when we play with a requirement for 2 wingbacks who can beat their man and cross, two things he cannot do with any regular consistency.

I see zero qualities in this guy. He’s slow, weak (physically and mentally), scared, negative, not great technically, not good defensively. I’d sell without hesitation.

It feels like he has had enough time to show his calibre and bar a few displays he has predominantly been underwhelming.

Beginning to wonder whether he moved too early and was better off staying at Fulham developing his game and confidence in himself. He showed great promise when bursting on the scene with Fulham but has almost hit a wall since then and although injuries have played a quite a big part in that, can't help but feel some of it is to do with mentality/confidence issues. Almost feels like he is playing with fear and doesn't really trust his ability.

Looked more settled and comfortable at Fulham and it showed in his play. Looked eager to take on opposition players and really have a go whereas at us never seen too much of that. Some young players can move to a bigger club at a young age and seem to take in their stride(i.e Dele when moved to us) but Sessegnon doesn't appear to be the type of character to play with that swagger/without fear and genuinely believe he belongs at this level.

I think he's already peaked at Fulham tbh

I think he would be good if he had aggression - I called him 'polite' in another post but because I couldnt think of the word but now a coupel of you have said it - he is timid. Politely timid - just no aggression.

Enough with the sess / Emerson experiment, it’s getting harder to defend Conte the more he plays these 2 . We won’t move forward until we upgrade 4/5 of our defence .
