I thought he had a good match yesterday. People moan that he is ‘too safe’ or not ‘adventurous’ enough with his passing but have you ever considered that it’s because he’s following instructions? He seems to be our only midfielder that currently has any discipline or positional sense. For that reason he needs to start every match.
I'm not sure about that. If, and a big if, you had all them doing their bit in midfield I don't see why it couldn't work.
Winks and particularly Lo celso are tenacious in the tackle and have positional understanding. Obviously Ndombele is the question mark defensively.
On the ball it's a jaw dropper of a midfield.
Its absolutely what I'd be aiming for with this squad, with Bergwign, Kane and Son ahead of them.
New full backs, with Toby and Dier at the back, and that would compete next season.
We need a Popescu for that Ardiles of a midfield and attack, not Winksy.
Højbjerg*Wouldn't go that far mate!
But Hoiberg could be the one.

I think core strength and centre of gravity now is very important in the PL. Unless you have a strong player who is also mobile then they will struggle. Point in case Dier and when Wanyama lost his mobility. teams can just go right through us. But with Dembele who could ride challenges and had good core strength we were a lot tougher.We need some power in there...all 3 just dont have the muscle with these 3 in the middle of midfield a Wanyama or Dier in his prime would do the job
And today 93 touches, 81 passes, 68 forward(11 of them long, 6 to final 3rd). 3 tackles and 3 interceptions too.Played more long passes(forward too) than any other midfielders/forwards yestarday for us.
The forwards passes metric for him is such an illusion. He's constantly passing to fullbacks who are wide open that are ahead of him. He couldn't spell through ball if his life depended on it.And today 93 touches, 81 passes, 68 forward(11 of them long, 6 to final 3rd). 3 tackles and 3 interceptions too.
Compare that too Sissoko with 47 touches, 35 passes,18 forward(3 of them long, 2 to final 3rd..) 1 tackles and 0 interceptions
Not a single assist from open play after consistent playing time for 3 years. Hes a bottom half player.If we want to somehow get back to where we were about 18 months ago he should be moved on.
He's a very limited player.
