Højbjerg should be starting over Bissouma in this form.
Winks, Skipp and Hojbjerg would be getting torn to shreds if they were consistently producing what Bissouma is.

He was definitely solid against Villa and PalaceExtremely worrying, hasn't played well in months. Massive lack of intensity

I want to shake the fuck out of Bissouma. So much ability there, but he now looks so scared to use it. Looks a completely different player to what's in a lot of this video. It's like all personality has been ripped from his game.
I think we’re in G Ron territory at the moment, not student!It's so weird. He has one elite skill, almost a superpower, and for most of his time with us he's either told not to use it or is scared to.
It's like if Peter North had quit porn to become a priest.
His contract, not his attitude.Sell him , attitude stinks and poor mentality . There’s a reason he came to us and only cost £28m
I think Bissouma is one of those players who is brilliant on his day but really lacks consistency to be part of a successful 11, in the 6 especially.I don’t think he has the defensive discipline to be the 6 in this system, and his carelessness with the ball puts as in trouble far too often. It’s perhaps the most crucial position in the modern game and you need to know what you’re getting from your 6 game in, game out. He has some great attributes, but we need more stability and defensive nous in that position. I still maintain a fit and up to speed Bentancur is the best option in the squad
Sorry what makes you say his attitude stinks?Sell him , attitude stinks and poor mentality . There’s a reason he came to us and only cost £28m

I recall Brighton fans saying the same about him and that he would disappear at times.
I think Ange sees both him and Bentancur as an 8 or 1 in a double pivot but we don't have anyone better as a 6.
Bissouma can be great at beating a press with his body but can get careless and doesn't have that pass in him to take out the next line.
Bentancur does but isn't the best defensively in that role either.
You saw how Paulinha played today, he was across to everything.
He is obviously playing a slightly different role at Fulham than he would for us but a player like that can prevent so many attacks.
Today, we were far too easy to play through. 2-3 passes and already in a dangerous position. It is one of the downsides to Ange's system but it would be limited if we had a more effective 6.
You can see why we want Archie Gray or Zubimendi.
I think when we get a true 6, Bentancur will be first pick (if he gets back to his best) with Sarr as the 8 and Bissouma will settle for the Hojbjerg role of just filling in.
