Hope so...... Even if our attack is wanting in certain respects; our MF has a level that we're not currently seeing. Will be crucial between now and the end of the season.

That assist from Maddison will be followed by a run of confident games now.
You say that; but that's what is sustaining people's faith in Biss (those that have it anyway).
You've said on a number of occasions you want:
Maddison / Biss / Eze (or equivalent #10 played as an advance #8)
.......But on Biss's recent form that'd get ripped apart most weeks.
Rubbish - Bissouma wouldn’t be the problem. Bissouma’s been fine lately, defensively he’s still right at the top end of PL metrics.
That might not be the cm3 for all occasions, but certainly some, like today - where we switched Bentancur for Kulusevski second half for example.
Eze can also play as a wide forward as well.
In what way? I thought he was steady without standing out
I just felt he offered nothing positive
Really safe basic passing and just looked lethargic/lazy most of the time
He's not really been a success here yet, that goes without saying. But at the very least, he's been better than Caicedo while also costing a third of the price.
Hopefully he can finish the season as well as he started it and overall it will have been a decent season from him.

.......He was literally the villain d'jour last weekend and widely blamed for our loss.
If you genuinely think current Biss = early season Biss you're smoking some heavy heavy shit, Blakey.
.......P.S. the point wasn't about whether or not to buy Eze.; I'm talking about the idea of Biss being all but required to be a one man midfield.
And I stand by my opinion that Bissouma is a good fit for our system and there are many other elements I'd upgrade before worrying about Bissouma.
As I said, I think we need to stop judging the team and players on those first ten games. We were all loving Big Ange because we'd had 4 years of garbage football and no midfield.
Things were always going to get harder for us collectively. Teams now know what we do, and how pivotal Bissouma (or whoever's at 6) is to the system and how we build through the press.
Games like today, it's largely irrelevant, there was no press. Bissouma's remit was just to mind the shop and try to help us shuffle the ball to more creative players.
He’s a very inconsistent player. Had a great start to the season, played very well for 8 games up until the Luton game but has been very average since. Could very well find himself as a squad player, we really do need to bring in a top quality number 8 for next season
Yeah, he hasn't been at his best for a while but not really sure how he had a poor game yesterday.
We controlled the game and he was a big help. He completed 115!!! Passes yesterday with a 95% pass completion.
Hopefully this is the start of him going back to what we know he can do. Him, Sarr and Maddison against Villa please.

I didn’t watch live and knowing the score gives you a colder perspective to watch the game.
Thought Biss was very good as a defensive mid. Won the ball back and dominated Palace. All that’s missing is the eye catching ball carries against pressure. Hard to do that when Palace weren’t pressing.
I think people miss early season Biss because they miss early season Spurs and they associate those ball carries with both. From what I saw yesterday, Biss is well on his way back to being one of the best DMs in the prem.
