yes but at least Sarr will sprint back immediately, while Biss does this mindless jog back until play is already beyond him and only then goes full tilt when its too late. He does not anticipate very well... luckily Bentancur is back soon.

Awful on the ball, awful positionally, awfully weak in the tackle, caves under the slightest bit of pressure. Has had an absolute nightmare today and not for the first time.

Have to figure this is Bissouma last season at Spurs. We really need an actual no nonsense DM who can keep possession and maintain their focus.

I hope it's not his last season, I hope today was his last game.

The absolute priority in January has got to be to replace Bissouma. If the idea is to use Gray then start playing Gray ASAP and see if he's up to the job.

Thats a bit harsh @spurs mental , but yes, I agree that we need an upgrade on Biss in the summer - especially in the 'soft skills' department of determination, concentration and big-match temperament. He can learn a lot from Gravenbach's defensive anticipation.

He is extremely ineffective in that position but there’s nothing to stop his manager telling him to drop 10 yards and stop letting his player constantly get fucking goal side.

He doesn't have the concentration, focus or consistency to do it. Conte knew it. And now we're seeing he was right.

He is away with the fairies. Casual passes, gives the ball away, saunters back and offers no protection to the defence.

He's obviously not the only reason for this kind of result but the patterns of play from him are the only consist thing from him.

Jogs around the pitch with his socks half rolled up and his shorts hanging off his arse.

I don't hate any Spurs players but this fella is coming close.

I agree. Which is why I’d have more respect if Ange played Bergvall today. At least he can read the game.

But regardless, his manger should be telling him to drop. So you have to conclude he doesn’t want him to. Ridiculous

Tweeted after his penalty fuck up vs Chelsea ‘time to show the real me’.
We’re clearly seeing that. The real him is bang average and uninterested

In his defence, I wonder if his role is charged with man marking attacking mids who go wide, because if not you can add absolutely atrocious positional sense to terrible anticipation, tracker of runners, accuracy, consistency and precision of passing and,
ball carriering under pressure.

That was a really poor performance regardless of system or setup. He’s just not good enough against better teams

Even if Bentacur is coming back, we still need to replace him in January. I don't mind him sitting on the bench for the rest of the season but unless someone better is available to rotate in that position we aren't going to win shit.

He can go smoke the fucking balloons or whatever it is he was doing earlier in the season for all I care at this stage.

Doesn't deserve to wear the shirt.
