Think he's doing ok. Has improved.
Obviously still a bit of a liability, but we have far, far bigger problems than him at the moment.
Sissokauriourinks I think for me. Maybe with an added touch of VertalderweirigaIndeed. Confirmation bias is far more prevalent than objective analysis these days.

To simplify a player's creative output to assist stats misses the point tbh, much more likely for the position to talk about key passes combined with assists as well as cross completion.
Pretty sure Serge loses as far as most of those go because his passing is unquestionably worse. Tbh I think KT would have thrived under Mourinho, his direct passing into the channels and crossing would have been an asset, at least the manager might have at least spoken to him if reports are accurate about Pochettino.
His first two games were great to see, I was ready to eat my words, but if his job is to attack as has been stated, he did pretty poorly last night IMHO...he lost his battle on that side against Rashford (who also megged him).
Hope he puts in a better show against Burnley if selected (Dwight McNeill on their left is a great player)...if we put the ball into dangerous areas we have a lot of threats, far too wasteful in areas we could have hurt United.
How many assists did Tripps get from crosses? And what teams were they against? I have the answer to this question.

He was rubbish today, but really Gazzaniga and Son cost us the game today.Cost us the game today. He switched off for the goal. It's what he does.
I thought Jose had "cured" him.
I thought Chelsea started well but we were inching back into the game until their goal.He was rubbish today, but really Gazzaniga and Son cost us the game today.
Goal was quite early though, we had a whole game to play . That retarded penalty from Gazzaniga is what really hurt us and then once Dier went off we started playing better, Son decided its time to kick a dick and finished the game off.I thought Chelsea started well but we were inching back into the game until their goal.
