I really believe he is a very good player, but the partnership with Sissoko doesn't seem the best for his style of play. Would like to see him playing alongside Dier or Wanyama in midfield.
OH FFS

Completely wrong. These incredible stats only prove that Vorm is the best passer in the league and possibly the world!
I disagree! Lots and lots of passes to the nearest guy, regardless of whether these passing are going to result in anything positive is definitely the measure for the best CM in the league. I think bus conductor might be behind this webpage.OH FFS
ochfacepalm:
Do these people not fucking know that he is shite because all his passes are backwards and the longest was only 7.5 cm
We actually have players that best suit a midfield 3 IMO.
Dier/Wanyama are DM’s
Winks control the game with his passing
Sissoko is the box to box non-stop player
A combo would enable each player to play their own game IMV.
The latter is something he does very effectively. In the Premier League this season only five players have averaged more accurate passes per 90 than the 22-year-old (69.11). Of these, 10.21 go backwards, so he isn’t just playing ‘safe’ passes, as the radar below highlights.
Our best player today.
Kept it moving. He's getting so much better defensively, thought he was fine against Chelsea but he was brilliant tonight. All over the pitch defensively in the first half and in the second half, considering he was our only "recognised" central midfielder on the pitch he had to do the part of two players at times.
Looks like he was instructed to get forward a bit more in the first half too. Reminded me of the Winks I remember from the youth teams when he would get forward and have a lot more shots at goal.
98% pass completion

Well played Winksy!
