Midfielders in Premier League

After watching the array of midfielders on display in the Leicester v Utd game, Madison, Tielemons, Pogba and Fernandes and now Grealish and others, were would Spurs midfield rate on the scale in the Premier league, for me it is our weakest area , the likes of Ndombele, Lo Celsius, Sissoko, winks are just not good enough, the stats will show this, Ndombele not producing enough, cumbersome slow getting back, probably not being played in his ideal position, the one that shows the most promise is Lo Celso but he can't stay fit, winks is better than a lot on here make out, Sissoko just should not be in a team with ambitions of top 4

So the midfield we have needs a massive upgrade to compete with top teams in this league

Ndombele is awesome
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I put to you that you are being blinded by the one or two tricks he does in a game overall look at the times he gets disposessed, and can't track back so has to foul
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I put it you that you are being blinded by the one or two times he gives it away and looks sluggish in a game. Overall look at the times he breaks the press, carries the ball forward and plays defense splitting passes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What are his goals and assists this season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 goals, 2 assists - more than Tielemans and as many as pogba who apparently are on another level to him according to you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And that makes him awesome
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You should watch football with your eyes, not the stats sheet. The equaliser vs Southampton for example, where Ndombele won the ball back, turned two players out of the game then put a great ball through to Kane. Kane sets up Son and we score. Ndombele gets no credit on the stats sheet, but that goal game from his industry, skill and vision. The guy is class, if you’d swap him for Pogba or Tielemans you’re off your rocker. Modric didn’t have glittering stats for us, neither did Carrick, but we all knew the value of the player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't say I would swap, you got that wrong my article is about Spurs midfield not being good enough to compete with top 6 or 7 in this league, goals and assists win matches, when Kane and Son get injured were do ours come from

Ndidi is type of midfielder we could do with. Sabizter is ok and is better than Sissoko and Winks so he would be a good signing if it happens.

Ndombele shows flashes but is yet to dominate a game.

I've seen Skipp a few times for Norwich and he is still lightweight and not ready for us. Let him see out the season at Norwich. Still needs to develope alot.

Winks I am still undecided about but wouldn't be bothered if we sold Dele, Sissoko and Lamela too for Sabizter and another.

I think we have seen the best of Dele so again not fussed if he goes.

Hard to dominate the midfield when you play with 20 percent possession.

And when you have players like Sissoko but the way some have defended Ndombele in the past has he really delivered? Is he worth the fee we paid for him? Not yet but as I said before he has shown flashes but getting bored of him being subbed all the time.

Will succeed under the right mamager. Can replace him with Matic or Fellaini.

PEH is a TOP player

Sissoko is a mess of a footballer. Ridiculously clumsy on the ball. lo celso can’t stay fit. Winks ok for bottom half sides. Ndombele is class but hasn’t shown it all yet

Sissoko getting unfair criticism again.

He’s a good squad player to have and was good enough to help get us to the CL final. He also got selected for the CL team of the season that year.

You would say that O’Shea and P. Neville were never good enough for the United side that won everything, but they were very valuable to that side
