He's in the same boat as most of our better players. What he's being asked to do does not play to his strengths. I thought he was very good yesterday.Not sure why Winks gets so much grief. We have a front line that no longer moves, lacklustre full backs and a defence that has half give up. Yet he is expected to provide killer forward passes and tackle like Sandro .
Winks is a mobile possession recycler similar to Carrick, play him in a mobile balanced team and he will play well, like he did last season and like he is doing for England. The team ain’t functioning right now and that’s the issue. It’s why Kane and Winks are struggling at Spurs but not England.
