Really suggest you watch this if you want a full idea of what Bissouma is.
Showcases his immense strengths well, and his limitations equally well.
I’ve watched him quite extensively for the past 4 seasons. The reason for this is we were linked when he was at Lille and I was really intrigued when I saw some of his footage there. So when he signed for Brighton I wanted to watch him closer.
Anyway, definitely agree that he has some of the skills of Wanyama, Dembele and Kante. He is an absolute beast of a midfielder can dominate matches with his athleticism, technique and strength.
I would also say though that I really believe he’s got more in his locker, he just needs to bring it out. I’ve seen him play superb passes forward and influence action higher up at times, so he definitely has more to his game and more to give.
I really think he could become an absolute worldy under Conte.
Would love to watch us play Benta, hojberg and bissouma at home against Liverpool and press them and battle them in midfield to completely dominate them. Then have spence, perisic, son and Kane leading the counter.One thing that excites me is that he hasn’t played in a dominant team in his whole career.
Lille league positions when he was there: 11 and 17. Brighton league positions 17, 15, 16, 9. Mali is not a top African team.
The upside potential for him at Spurs when combining with players such as Romero, Son and Kane is exciting to think about.
In addition, I’ll probably have Bentancur/Bissouma as my starting midfield but seeing the improvement in Hojbjerg when playing with Bentancur and how he raises his game with Denmark, I think he will improve loads with Bissouma by his side and is likely to be more appreciated when the burden on him playing every game is lessened.
Yeah that’s actually a great midfield 3 to go to battle against the top sides in big gamesWould love to watch us play Benta, hojberg and bissouma at home against Liverpool and press them and battle them in midfield to completely dominate them. Then have spence, perisic, son and Kane leading the counter.
Sky Sports News probably.
commiserations.
I'd be delighted with him, Spence and Richarlison/Raphina plus Eriksen or if he decides to go elsewhere then another player in his mould. We really will be awesome next season. Oh yeah and new LCB tooReally hope we get this over the line.
Why would we expect a rangy passer? In this system the CM two are part of the defensive block anyway.@Bluto Blutarsky noticed the same thing from watching him this season. We're going to be underwhelmed if we're expecting a rangy passer who initiates attacks and breaks lines with his passing. His passing is OK, but 90% of his passes are simple, short clean-up passes and nothing more than ball recycling. Of course, he doesn't play this way for Mali or under Hughton, and is a function of the two midfielders in front of him in the CM3 of Brighton's.
The clean up role is definitely is where his best attributes shine. He is actually Kante-like, in every sense of the comparison. His dribbling and body control are incredibly good, he's press resistant, confident in every duel, and he is an aggressive ball carrier.
But there's a reason he's only 25m and it ain't just the court case or one year deal. He isn't an elite passer and doesn't get into the box much for my liking. I wonder if a Skipp-Bissouma or Hojbjerg-Bissouma pairing would play out dynamically. He has the potential to play further forward and playmake, but his passing is very conservative most of the time.
Vigil Van DijkYeah unfortunately they can't because they have set up a holiday village outside liverpools training ground.
I think it may be a vigil ?
And that is the key. To have a middle where we don't really have a first choice/second choice but where the players are interchangeable.Love this signing, for me it's 2 for every position and he will be sharing his time with bentancur imo.
For me it's bentancur and bissouma, hoijberg and Skipp, eriksen and kuvuleski (this last one obviously changes the dynamic of the team depending on the need).
Of course bentancur can play with bissouma and Skipp with hoijberg etc, but that would be my reading of the team if everyone is fit.
As for firing up a debate, my first choice would be bissouma, hoijberg and kuvuleski. Not that we really need a first choice with those midfielders.
No problem with this. Look at Zlatan. As long as he puts in the work consistently, he can believe and say this.I'm best midfielder in Premier League - Bissouma
Brighton's Yves Bissouma says he believes he is the best midfielder in the Premier League before the Seagulls' game against Leicester on Sunday.www.bbc.com
Listen to this fucking mentality man. Confidence, that even borders on delusions of grandeur.
Love it.
A quick interview with Bissouma from last season on his ambitions playing in the Champions League, as well as Graham Potter describing his potential as scary.
