I honestly think this is a bit OTT as is some of the general criticism of him lately.I think the difference between him and Hojbjerb at the minute is that Pierre seems to have taken the instruction from the manager better and is moving the ball forward with much more purpose.
But he appears to be a shadow of the player we signed from Brighton. Time will tell.
He played very well against West Ham away as Ange stated in the presser after.
Players do go in and out of form, it happens.
Biss was phenomenal in our first 11 games, then he had a few disciplinary slip-ups, AFCON, Malaria and he's come back to a team and squad which has had a lot of players coming back from injuries and international touraments and so has been a bit up and down with its form.
Biss is a bit off form and yes PEH has been moving the ball forwards more quickly but also that is PEH's style, he's a completely different player to Bissouma, Biss plays out the press much better than PEH, he can dribble much better etc etc.
I think some people need to chill a bit about Biss, he isn't going anywhere he just needs to find his form again and I'm sure he will.
Maddison has not found his early season form yet but no-where near as many people are doubting on him as much as they are Biss. Its also why we have a squad so PEH and Bentancur can come in when Biss and Sarr etc are a bit off form and probably both a bit tired from AFCON and in Biss's case from having maleria!
Someone even said they think we will sell him this summer, imo that is absolute madness. The only players in that position who would be better than Biss are the likes of Rice, Rodri etc and these players cost £80-100mil which we won't be spending on any player never mind a DM.
