sissoko does have footballing ability... to suggest otherwise is doing him a disservice. he sometimes looks a bit clumsy on the ball because he just plays in a club side packed with gifted technical footballers and ball manipulators, and he isn't on their technical level. his end product is poor but his touch/general passing/dribbling/tackling are all pretty good tbh.

He looked technically flawed playing for Newcastle too so what the excuse there?

He’s a push and run player which can be effective but it’s not the sort of player I enjoy watching.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
he is a much better player now than he was when he was at Newcastle. Poch with the credit for that

Idk how you get dele and lo celso in the same team tbh, maybe a diamond but that's hardly done well for us recently

Yeah, I'd say this is the more relevant decision. Lo Celso and Lucas don't play even close to the same role.

Yea it seems one or the other in this formation.

......Son Kane
.........Alli Lo Celso
Ndomblele Sissoko/Dier/Winks
Back 4
Gazza

He is getting so little game time. Expect him to be gone at the end of the season.

Maybe lo celso isn't that good? So many fans sucking him off when he hasn't proved anything for us. And while his stats at betis are decent, they are hardly groundbreaking

Missed pre-season, got a few minutes, got injured on international duty, missed a couple of months, worked his way back into contention, looked good, Pochettino got sacked, hasn't played since. Notably Pochettino's other big signing this past summer has had a reduced role under Mourinho too.

It's been a perfect storm of sheite for Lo Celso so far. Properly unlucky.

Whats happened to NDombele?
Have to get Winks out of this game.

I agree. He's not as easy on the eye as other good dribblers, but he's good in tight spaces and can take on a player. Passing is OK, his touch is generally good and as I said he's a good dribbler.
