I’m not dredging it up but people were raving about him and saying stuff like that’s the going price for young talent these days etc etc


Cunts on here were calling Harry Winks miniesta imagine comparing a basic bitch like winks to a footballing god like Iniesta!

Winks should be used like a Nicky Butt ie never the main man.
 
Did Ndombele or Bergwijn do better than Winks today?

Yes

Bergwijn no doubt.

Ndombele had the same level of ineffective play overall but he had 4-5 great passes, the kind we need from Winks or whoever is playing in that role, which is more than Winks had.
 
Winks is not the problem. The problem is a glaring lack of quality in our midfield that asks him to do too much. He's a neat and tidy player who gets stuck in, he will keep things ticking over and annoy opponents. He is not a player who can run the show . We don't have a single one of those in our squad, which is our main problem.

We used to have Dembele and Eriksen, Winks started plenty of matches when those two were still around and playing well, matches that we won. We've just taken away most of the quality around him and exposed his limitations.

We are still playing a 442/4231 when we should be playing 433, the only way to compensate for our lack of quality in midfield is to put more numbers in there. I don't understand why we aren't doing that despite Mourinho using that system many times before.

This is pretty much it. You get better players around him and he can be a decent squad option. Never going to be a player that will dominate a match or run a midfield, and anyone expecting that will be disappointed.
