Doesn’t look too far off. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mourinho play him in a similar position to how he did against Bournemouth. Besides I don’t want him in central midfield, he’s not good enough there.

Not sure if he solves any of or problems. Maybe to help covering the right side a bit. Won't solve our need for goals.

Those bollards have better pass accuracy than our midfield...

I thought we had info to say Jose would be willing to let him leave a few months back but since that, Jose has come out and said he can't wait to have him back. Now I know he's hardly going to say I don't want him back, I'm going to sell him, but he didn't need to name him alongside Kane and Sonny as he has no relation to our attacking difficulties.

Sissoko will go back to playing CM as that's the area we need bodies.

He will always give 100% and won't stop running, but he isn't a cm. Just with Wanyama, Dier and Ndombele all struggling and Skipp not used I can see him along side winks again...

I think out wide right is more likely, with a Winks Lo Celso centre.

The reason we miss him so much in my opinion is that he is a vital link in our chain and we look completely dis-jointed without him. If people can't see his worth to us in that regard that's up to them. He holds the ball well. he tackles well. He brings the ball forward well. He keeps the ball well, and he passes the ball well. OK, so he can't shoot for toffee, but realistically, our production line is so much better with him in the side and I can't wait to seee him back in midfield, with both Stevie Bergwijn and Sonny and Harry back.

I believe a midfield containing Sissoko, Ndombele, Lo Celso and Winks would be a match for anyone. Just my opinion.

He gives us another option, considering how heavy the legs looked against Chelsea that's a good thing. Can rotate on the right and we could go back to 4-2-3-1 more often. Would like to see Moura on the right but seeing as Jose is insistent he plays uptop I guess we could have Sissoko right side like the following:

Winks Lo Celso
Sissoko Ndombele Bergwijn
Moura

With the likes of Dele, Gedson and Lamela on the bench, we should be able to better rotate.

Maybe he can run round the pitch carrying Ndombele and pop him down on the ground to play the odd telling pass now and then. Just an idea.
